Approximate homoclinic relation from periodic historic measures

Let ff be a CrC^r diffeomorphism of a compact manifold of dimension at least 22, with r1r\geq 1. Let π(P)\pi(P) and π(Q)\pi(Q) denote the minimal periods of two hyperbolic periodic points PP and QQ.

Homoclinic-approximation conjecture. If there exist xx and a,b0a,b\geq0 with a+b>1a+b>1 such that

ηx=a1π(P)j=1π(P)δfjP+b1π(P)j=1π(Q)δfjQ,\eta_x=a\cdot\frac{1}{\pi(P)}\sum_{j=1}^{\pi(P)}\delta_{f^jP}+b\cdot\frac{1}{\pi(P)}\sum_{j=1}^{\pi(Q)}\delta_{f^jQ},

then ff is accumulated in the CrC^r topology by diffeomorphisms gg for which the continuations PgP_g and QgQ_g are homoclinically related.

This is proposed as a weakening of the earlier sufficient condition for heteroclinic connections. It remains open in the supplied material.
