Renormalization of symmetric bimodal maps with low smoothness

Abstract: This paper deals with the renormalization of symmetric bimodal maps with low smoothness. We prove the existence of the renormalization fixed point in the space $C^{1+Lip}$ symmetric bimodal maps. Moreover, we show that the topological entropy of the renormalization operator defined on the space of $C^{ 1+Lip}$ symmetric bimodal maps is infinite. Further we prove the existence of a continuum of fixed points of renormalization. Consequently, this proves the non-rigidity of the renormalization of symmetric bimodal maps.
