Pesin's nonzero center Lyapunov exponents conjecture

Let MM be a compact smooth Riemannian manifold, and let Diffmr(M)\operatorname{Diff}^r_m(M) denote the CrC^r diffeomorphisms preserving volume mm. For fDiffmr(M)f\in\operatorname{Diff}^r_m(M) with r>1r>1, Pesin's conjecture. Arbitrarily close to ff in Diffmr(M)\operatorname{Diff}^r_m(M) there exists a diffeomorphism gg with nonzero Lyapunov exponents on a set of positive volume. Moreover, there is an open set UU containing gg and a residual subset of UU such that every hh in this subset has nonzero Lyapunov exponents on a set of positive measure. This predicts the prevalence of nonuniform hyperbolicity near volume-preserving partially hyperbolic systems; the supplied text does not indicate whether the conjecture has been resolved.
