Bonatti's robust-cycle denseness conjecture

At least 16 years old · documented by

Let MM be a smooth manifold, and let C1C^1-diffeomorphisms of MM be considered with the C1C^1 topology. A diffeomorphism has a C1C^1-robust cycle if it exhibits either a homoclinic tangency or a heterodimensional cycle that persists under C1C^1-small perturbations. Bonatti's robust-cycle denseness conjecture. Every C1C^1-diffeomorphism can be C1C^1-approximated either by a hyperbolic diffeomorphism satisfying the Axiom A and no-cycle property, or by a diffeomorphism exhibiting a C1C^1-robust cycle. The results of the paper and its preceding work are described as supporting this conjecture, but the source does not state that it has been resolved.
