Generic symplectic Oseledets splitting and ergodicity conjecture

Let MM be the symplectic manifold from the surrounding discussion, let ω\omega be its symplectic form, and let Diffω1(M)\operatorname{Diff}^1_\omega(M) denote the space of C1C^1 symplectomorphisms. For a regular point xx, write the Oseledets splitting as TxM=E+(x)E0(x)E(x)T_xM=E^+(x)\oplus E^0(x)\oplus E^-(x), 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 fDiffω1(M)f\in \operatorname{Diff}^1_\omega(M) either all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere, or else the Oseledets splitting extends to a globally dominated (partially hyperbolic) splitting and in this case ff 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.
