Mañé's weak conjecture on generic Mather sets

About 17 years old · traced to

Let MM be a manifold and let LL be a Tonelli Lagrangian on TMTM. For a cohomology class c∈H1(M,R)c\in H^1(M,\mathbb{R}), write M(L,c)\mathcal{M}(L,c) for the Mather set associated with LL and cc. Mañé's weak conjecture. There exists a residual subset O2(L)⊂C∞(M)\mathcal{O}_2(L)\subset C^{\infty}(M) such that, for every f∈O2(L)f\in\mathcal{O}_2(L), there is an open dense subset U(L,f)⊂H1(M,R)U(L,f)\subset H^1(M,\mathbb{R}) for which, for every c∈U(L,f)c\in U(L,f), the Mather set of (L,c)(L,c) consists of one periodic orbit. This is described as weaker than the strong conjecture because it concerns an open dense set of cohomology classes in addition to potential perturbations; the paper proves that the strong conjecture implies it, but the conjecture itself is presented as open.
