Karlsson–Nussbaum conjecture for finite-dimensional Hilbert metric spaces

About 12 years old · traced to

Let Σ\Sigma be a convex set whose Hilbert metric is δ\delta, and let f ⁣:Σ→Σf\colon\Sigma\to\Sigma be a fixed-point-free mapping. For x∈Σx\in\Sigma, write

O(x;f):={fk(x) ⁣:k≥0}.\mathcal{O}(x;f):=\{f^k(x)\colon k\geq 0\}.

Karlsson–Nussbaum conjecture. If (Σ,δ)(\Sigma,\delta) is finite-dimensional, then there exists a convex set Ω⊆∂Σ\Omega\subseteq\partial\Sigma such that, for every x∈Σx\in\Sigma, all accumulation points of O(x;f)\mathcal{O}(x;f) lie in Ω\Omega.

This conjecture is a Denjoy–Wolff-type assertion for nonexpansive mappings of finite-dimensional Hilbert metric spaces. The supplied text identifies it as a conjecture of Karlsson and Nussbaum and does not state that it has been resolved.
