Bonatti's robust-cycle denseness conjecture
Let be a smooth manifold, and let -diffeomorphisms of be considered with the topology. A diffeomorphism has a -robust cycle if it exhibits either a homoclinic tangency or a heterodimensional cycle that persists under -small perturbations. Bonatti's robust-cycle denseness conjecture. Every -diffeomorphism can be -approximated either by a hyperbolic diffeomorphism satisfying the Axiom A and no-cycle property, or by a diffeomorphism exhibiting a -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.
