Karlsson–Nussbaum boundary-limit conjecture for fixed-point-free maps
Karlsson–Nussbaum boundary-limit conjecture for fixed-point-free maps
Let be a Hilbert geometry, let be a fixed point free non-expansive mapping, and let denote the set of limit points of the forward orbit of . A subset of is convex when it contains the line segment between any two of its points.
Karlsson–Nussbaum conjecture. There exists a convex set in such that
This conjecture would constrain all orbit-limit sets of a fixed-point-free non-expansive map to a single convex subset of the boundary. The supplied text gives a counterexample showing that stronger statements about prescribed boundary limit sets fail, but does not report a resolution of this conjecture.
