Bonatti–Díaz hyperbolicity conjecture

Let MM be a compact manifold and let Diff1(M)\operatorname{Diff}^1(M) be the space of C1C^1 diffeomorphisms. A diffeomorphism is hyperbolic if its nonwandering dynamics has a hyperbolic splitting, and a robust heterodimensional cycle is a heterodimensional cycle that persists under small perturbations. Bonatti–Díaz hyperbolicity conjecture. Any diffeomorphism can be approximated in Diff1(M)\operatorname{Diff}^1(M) by one which is hyperbolic or exhibits a robust heterodimensional cycle. This is motivated by the observation that known examples of C1C^1-generic nonhyperbolic systems involve heterodimensional cycles; the source gives no resolution.
