The contracted-bundle conjecture for Lyapunov stable aperiodic classes

Let MM be a compact manifold, let fDiff1(M)f\in\operatorname{Diff}^1(M) be C1C^1-generic, and let Λ\Lambda be a Lyapunov stable aperiodic class of ff. Assume that Λ\Lambda admits a dominated splitting

TΛM=EF.T_{\Lambda}M=E\oplus F.

Contracted-bundle conjecture. The bundle EE is contracted.

The paper proves the weaker alternative that either EE is contracted or FF is expanded, and notes that only one of these bundles is hyperbolic. The conjecture asserts that the first alternative always occurs; the source gives no resolution.
