The strong Palis conjecture for vector fields
The strong Palis conjecture for vector fields
Let be a vector field. A singular Axiom A vector field without cycle has only finitely many chain recurrent classes, each singular hyperbolic; a homoclinic tangency is a non-transversal intersection between the stable and unstable manifolds of a hyperbolic periodic orbit; and a heterodimensional cycle consists of two hyperbolic periodic orbits of different indices with the corresponding cyclic stable and unstable intersections. Strong Palis conjecture. Every vector field can be approximated by one of the following three kinds of vector fields: a vector field which is singular Axiom A without cycle, a vector field with a homoclinic tangency, or a vector field with a heterodimensional cycle. This is described as a continuation of Palis's conjectures for flows and is known in dimension three according to the source's attribution, while the general statement remains unresolved there.
