Generic symplectic Oseledets splitting and ergodicity conjecture
Let be the symplectic manifold from the surrounding discussion, let be its symplectic form, and let denote the space of symplectomorphisms. For a regular point , write the Oseledets splitting as , where the bundles correspond respectively to positive, zero, and negative Lyapunov exponents. A splitting is dominated if it is a globally dominated invariant splitting.
Generic symplectic Oseledets splitting conjecture. For a generic either all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere, or else the Oseledets splitting extends to a globally dominated (partially hyperbolic) splitting and in this case is ergodic.
This conjecture proposes a dichotomy between an elliptic regime and a globally dominated, ergodic regime for generic symplectomorphisms. The preceding discussion records a related theorem of Bochi with a weaker alternative, while the asserted global extension together with ergodicity is not established here.
