Greenfield–Wallach–Katok conjecture on globally hypoelliptic flows

About 13 years old · traced to

Let MM be a smooth connected compact manifold, and let a smooth flow be a smooth R\mathbb R action on MM. 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 R\mathbb R action on MM is smoothly conjugate to a Diophantine flow on the torus. The conjecture is proved when MM is a torus, when dim⁡(M)≤3\dim(M)\le 3, and for homogeneous flows on finite-volume homogeneous spaces, but remains open for general compact manifolds.
