Veech's conjecture on the Pinsker orthocomplement of Möbius orbit measures

Let XcmathcalA3X_{cmathcal{A}_3} be the three-symbol sequence space, let SS be the shift, let μ\bm \mu be the Möbius sequence, and let IS(μ)\mathcal{I}_S(\bm \mu) denote the set of SS-invariant measures arising as limit points of the empirical measures of the orbit of μ\bm \mu. For ηIS(μ)\eta\in\mathcal{I}_S(\bm \mu), let Πη(S)\Pi_\eta(S) be the Pinsker algebra and let pr1\operatorname{pr}_1 be the first-coordinate function.

Veech's conjecture. For any ηIS(μ)\eta\in\mathcal{I}_S(\bm \mu),

pr1L2(XA3,Πη(S),η).\operatorname{pr}_1\in L^2(X_{\mathcal{A}_3},\Pi_\eta(S),\eta)^\perp.

This conjecture is attributed to W. Veech and is used to control the singular component of the Möbius flow's spectrum; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
