Abstract

We obtain a local topological and dynamical description of expansive attractors on surfaces. The main result is that expansive attractors on surfaces are hyperbolic and have local product structure, except possibly at a finite number of periodic points, which can be either sinks, singularities or épines. Some open questions concerning this kind of dynamics are posed.
