Stable/unstable holonomies, density of periodic points, and transitivity for continuum-wise hyperbolic homeomorphisms

We discuss different regularities on stable/unstable holonomies of cw-hyperbolic homeomorphisms and prove that if a cw-hyperbolic homeomorphism has continuous joint stable/unstable holonomies, then it has a dense set of periodic points in its non-wandering set. For that, we prove that the hyperbolic cw-metric (introduced in Artigue et al (2024 J. Differ. Equ.378 512–38)) can be adapted to be self-similar (as in Artigue (2018 Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst.38 2422–46)) and, in this case, continuous joint stable/unstable holonomies are pseudo-isometric. We also prove transitivity of cw-hyperbolic homeomorphisms assuming that the stable/unstable holonomies are isometric. In the case the ambient space is a surface, we prove that a cwF-hyperbolic homeomorphism has continuous joint stable/unstable holonomies when every bi-asymptotic sector is regular.
