Abstract
We provide sufcient conditions for smooth conjugacy between two Anosov
endomorphisms on the two-torus. From that, we also explore how the regularity
of the stable and unstable foliations implies smooth conjugacy inside a class
of endomorphisms including, for instance, the ones with constant Jacobian. As
a consequence, we have in this class a characterisation of smooth conjugacy
between special Anosov endomorphisms (dened as those having only one
unstable direction for each point) and their linearisations.
Keywords: smooth dynamics, hyperbolic dynamics, non-invertible dynamics

1. Introduction
In this work we study rigidity results for Anosov endomorphisms: hyperbolic maps that are
not necessarily invertible. The term rigidity is associated with the idea that the value of an
invariant or a specic property of the system determines its dynamics. In our case, we want
to determine the smooth conjugacy class of the system, and the invariant will be given by its
Lyapunov exponents.
