# The $C^{1+\alpha }$ hypothesis in Pesin Theory revisited

• We show that for every compact $3$-manifold $M$ there exists an open subset of $Diff^1(M)$ in which every generic diffeomorphism admits uncountably many ergodic probability measures that are hyperbolic while their supports are disjoint and admit a basis of attracting neighborhoods and a basis of repelling neighborhoods. As a consequence, the points in the support of these measures have no stable and no unstable manifolds. This contrasts with the higher-regularity case, where Pesin Theory gives stable and unstable manifolds with complementary dimensions at almost every point. We also give such an example in dimension two, without local genericity.
