Pugh's conjecture on one-dimensional stable manifolds in Pesin theory

Let f ⁣:MMf\colon M\to M be a C1C^1-diffeomorphism, and let Orb(p)Orb(p) be an orbit with well-defined non-vanishing Lyapunov exponents. In the two-dimensional case, assume that

dim(Es)=dim(Eu)=1.\dim(E^s)=\dim(E^u)=1.

Here EsE^s and EuE^u are the stable and unstable Lyapunov subspaces along the orbit. Pugh's conjecture. Pesin's result should hold: Ws(p)W^s(p) is a C1C^1 curve tangent at pp to EsE^s. More generally, this should hold on manifolds of any dimension whenever EsE^s has dimension one. The regularity condition in Pugh's formulation, meaning that the Lyapunov exponent is given by the exponential rate of the product of the norm of the derivative, up to replacing ff by a large finite iterate, is automatic on one-dimensional subspaces. This conjecture concerns whether Pesin's invariant-manifold conclusion extends to C1C^1 dynamics without the usual C1+αC^{1+\alpha} hypothesis; the source does not indicate that it has been resolved.
