Zhang's weak-resonance obstruction conjecture for hyperbolic diffeomorphisms

Let AA be a hyperbolic matrix in GL(n,R)GL(n,\mathbb R) and let BB be a real logarithm of AA. Let f(z)=O(z2)f(z)=O(|z|^2) be CC^{\infty} (respectively, analytic), and suppose it has a non-vanishing weakly resonant monomial w1m1wnmnejw_1^{m_1}\cdots w_n^{m_n}e_j with respect to BB. The resulting locally hyperbolic diffeomorphism is

φ(z)=Az+f(z).\varphi(z)=Az+f(z).

Zhang's conjecture. The diffeomorphism φ\varphi is not embedded in a CC^{\infty} (respectively, analytic) flow.

The conjecture proposes that weak resonances obstruct embedding a hyperbolic diffeomorphism into a smooth or analytic flow. The source states that the conjecture is false and gives two counterexamples consisting of resonant diffeomorphisms.
