Abstract

We establish the existence of self homeomorphisms of  Rⁿ,  n >= 2,  which are chaotic in the sense of Devaney, preserve volume and are spatially periodic. Moreover, we show that in the space of volume preserving homeomorphisms of the n-torus with mean rotation zero, those with chaotic lifts to  Rⁿ  are dense, with respect to the uniform topology. An application is given for fixed points of 2-dimensional torus homeomorphisms (Conley-Zehnder-Franks Theorem).
