Product decomposition conjecture for densities on the torus
Product decomposition conjecture for densities on the torus
Let denote the smooth normalized densities on the -torus, and let denote the volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. For , seek a volume-preserving change of coordinates.
Product decomposition conjecture. Given , there exist and functions such that
This would provide an infinite-dimensional analogue of spectral decomposition for symmetric matrices by representing a density, up to a volume-preserving coordinate change, as a product of one-variable factors. The source does not state a resolution.
