Transverse homoclinic connection conjecture for periodic points pnp_n

Let ϕλ\phi_\lambda be the billiard map, let Ωλ\Omega_\lambda be its nonwandering set, let PP be the parabolic attractor, let pλp_\lambda be the fixed point, and let pnp_n be the periodic points. Transverse homoclinic connection conjecture for pnp_n. For every λ2<λ<1\lambda_2<\lambda<1 and every periodic point

xΩλ(P{pλ}),x\in\Omega_\lambda\setminus\bigl(P\cap\{p_\lambda\}\bigr),

there exist n,m1n,m\geq1 such that Wu(x)W^u(x) and Ws(pn)W^s(p_n) intersect transversally, and Wu(pm)W^u(p_m) and Ws(x)W^s(x) intersect transversally. This is the manifold-intersection version of the proposed homoclinic-class decomposition in the range λ2<λ<1\lambda_2<\lambda<1; it remains open in the source.
