Universal trellises

A flow in three-dimensions is universal if the periodic orbits contains all knots and links. Universal flows were shown to exist by Ghrist, and can be constructed by means of templates. Likewise, a planar diffeomorphism is universal if it has a suspension flow which is a universal flow. In this paper we prove the existence of a homoclinic trellis type for which any representative diffeomorphism is universal. This trellis type is remarkable in that it has zero entropy, and only two homoclinic intersection points
