Hector's conjecture on exceptional minimal sets

Let a finitely generated group of C2C^2 circle diffeomorphisms admit an exceptional minimal set Λ\Lambda, meaning a minimal closed invariant subset of the circle that is homeomorphic to the Cantor set. Hector's conjecture. The Lebesgue measure of Λ\Lambda is zero. This conjecture concerns exceptional minimal sets for nonminimal group actions without finite orbits and is fundamental to the study of such actions; it was stated by G. Hector in 1977–78, and its general status is not resolved in the source.
