Herman's dominated-splitting conjecture for conservative diffeomorphisms
Let be a compact manifold and let be a conservative diffeomorphism. Suppose there is a neighborhood of in such that, for every and every periodic orbit of , the matrix associated with the periodic orbit has at least one eigenvalue whose modulus differs from one. A dominated splitting is an invariant splitting of the tangent bundle satisfying the usual domination inequality.
Herman's conjecture. Under these assumptions, admits a dominated splitting.
The statement is presented as Herman's question relating robust exclusion of fully elliptic periodic orbits to dominated splittings. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
