Partial hyperbolicity and attracting regions in 3-dimensional manifolds
  This thesis attempts to contribute to the study of differentiable dynamics both from a semi-local and global point of view. The center of study is differentiable dynamics in manifolds of dimension 3 where we are interested in the understanding of the existence and structure of attractors as well as dynamical and topological implications of the existence of a global partially hyperbolic splitting. The main contributions are new examples of dynamics without attractors where we get a quite complete description of the dynamics around some wild homoclinic classes and two results on dynamical coherence of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $\TT^3$.
