Triviality conjecture for jointly TaT_a- and analytic ff-invariant sets

Let TaT_a be the fixed transformation, and let ff be a real-analytic function on either the real line or the circle:

fCω(R)orfCω(R/Z).f\in C^{\omega}(\mathbb{R})\quad\text{or}\quad f\in C^{\omega}(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}).

Assume that ff is not affine. A set is jointly TaT_a- and ff-invariant when it is invariant under both transformations. Triviality conjecture. Every jointly TaT_a- and ff-invariant set is trivial.

The conjecture concerns the rigidity of sets invariant under both an expanding map and a non-affine analytic function. The surrounding results show that, for piecewise curved functions, jointly invariant sets are either the whole interval or have dimension zero, but the stated analytic assertion remains open here.
