We show that any weakly partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on the 2-torus may be realized as the dynamics on a center-stable or centerunstable torus of a 3-dimensional strongly partially hyperbolic system. We also construct examples of center-stable and center-unstable tori in higher dimensions.In the construction in [RHRHU16], the dynamics on the 2-torus tangent to E c ⊕ E u is Anosov. In fact, it is given by a hyperbolic linear map on T 2 , the cat map. It has long been known that a weakly partially hyperbolic system, that is, a diffeomorphism g : T 2 → T 2 with a splitting of the form E c ⊕ E u or E c ⊕ E s , need not be Anosov. Therefore, one can ask exactly which weakly partially hyperbolic systems may be realized as the dynamics on an invariant 2-torus sitting inside a 3-dimensional strongly partially hyperbolic system. We show, in fact, that there are no obstructions on the choice of dynamics.Theorem 1.1. For any weakly partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism g 0 : T 2 → T 2 , there is an embedding i : T 2 → T 3 and a strongly partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism f : T 3 → T 3 such that i (T 2 ) is either a center-stable or center-unstable torus (depending on the splitting of g 0 ) and i −1 • f • i = g 0 .
