Díaz–Gorodetski homoclinic-class non-hyperbolic measure conjecture

Let MM be a compact smooth manifold without boundary, and let Diff1(M)\operatorname{Diff}^1(M) be the space of C1C^1 diffeomorphisms of MM. For a periodic point pp, its homoclinic class H(p)H(p) is the closure of the transverse intersection points between the stable and unstable manifolds of the orbit of pp. An invariant measure is non-hyperbolic if it has a vanishing Lyapunov exponent. Díaz–Gorodetski's conjecture. For generic fDiff1(M)f\in\operatorname{Diff}^1(M), every homoclinic class either is uniformly hyperbolic or supports an ergodic non-hyperbolic invariant measure. The paper proves this local conjecture for non-hyperbolic homoclinic classes of generic diffeomorphisms, while noting that the genericity assumption cannot simply be removed.
