%0 Journal Article %T Homoclinic tangencies and hyperbolicity for surface diffeomorphisms %A Enrique R. Pujals %A Mart¨ªn Sambarino %J Mathematics %D 2000 %I arXiv %X We prove here that in the complement of the closure of the hyperbolic surface diffeomorphisms, the ones exhibiting a homoclinic tangency are C^1 dense. This represents a step towards the global understanding of dynamics of surface diffeomorphisms. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0005303v1
