Positive Lyapunov exponent conjecture for projective K3 automorphisms

From papers

Let XX be a projective K3K3 surface, let T:XXT:X\to X be an automorphism with positive topological entropy h>0h>0, and fix a Ricci-flat Kähler metric ω\omega. Define the largest Lyapunov exponent of the Lebesgue measure dVol\mathrm{dVol} by

Λ=X(limN+h2NlogDxTNω)dVol(x).\Lambda=\int_X\left(\lim_{N\to+\infty}\frac{h}{2N}\log\|D_xT^N\|_\omega\right)\mathrm{dVol}(x).

Positive Lyapunov exponent conjecture. One has Λ>0\Lambda>0.

The exponent is known to be finite and nonnegative. Positivity is identified as a major outstanding problem; the source also notes that a dense TT-orbit would already be interesting in this setting.
