Greenfield–Wallach–Katok conjecture on globally hypoelliptic flows
Let be a smooth connected compact manifold, and let a smooth flow be a smooth action on . The flow is globally hypoelliptic if its associated leafwise Laplacian is globally hypoelliptic; a flow on a torus is Diophantine when its generating constant vector is Diophantine. Greenfield–Wallach–Katok conjecture. Any globally hypoelliptic action on is smoothly conjugate to a Diophantine flow on the torus. The conjecture is proved when is a torus, when , and for homogeneous flows on finite-volume homogeneous spaces, but remains open for general compact manifolds.
