Abstract

In this paper, we show the existence of Markov covers for $C^2$ surface diffeomorphisms with a dominated splitting under some assumptions. Using a Markov cover, we can reduce the dynamics to a one-dimensional dynamical system having a good metric property. As an application, we show finiteness of periodic attractors for the above diffeomorphisms.
