Sinai's positive entropy conjecture for the standard map

At least 26 years old · documented by

For each parameter λ\lambda, define the standard torus diffeomorphism

fλ(x,y)=(2x−y+λsin⁡2πx,x).f_\lambda(x,y)=(2x-y+\lambda\sin 2\pi x,x).

Sinai's conjecture. For every parameter λ≠0\lambda\ne 0, the metric entropy of fλf_\lambda is positive. This is presented as another famous positive-entropy conjecture; the source does not report a resolution.
