Mañé's strong conjecture on generic minimizing measures

Let MM be a closed manifold and let LL be an autonomous Tonelli Lagrangian on TMTM. Define

O1(L)={fC(M):the Mather set of L+f consists of one periodic orbit}.\mathcal{O}_1(L)=\{f\in C^{\infty}(M):\text{the Mather set of }L+f\text{ consists of one periodic orbit}\}.

Mañé's strong conjecture. The set O1(L)\mathcal{O}_1(L) is residual in C(M)C^{\infty}(M). Equivalently, for a generic potential perturbation, there is a unique minimizing measure and it is supported on a periodic orbit. The paper notes that an analogous conjecture can be formulated with Ck(M)C^k(M) for any k2k\geq2; the conjecture is presented as open.
