M. Viana Multidimensional nonhyperbolic attractors (100K, LaTeX) ABSTRACT. We construct smooth transformations and diffeomorphisms exhibiting non\-uniformly hyperbolic attractors with multidimensional sensitiveness on initial conditions: typical orbits in the basin of attraction have several expanding directions. These systems also illustrate a new robust mechanism of sensitive dynamics: despite the nonuniform character of the expansion, the attractor persists in a full neighbourhood of the initial map.
