Generic Schwarzschild diffusion conjecture on bounded phase space

Define the bounded-motion region

B(C):={V(r+)<E22<min{V(r),V()},Lisco<L<C}H1(12).\mathcal B(C):=\left\{ V(r_+)<\frac{E^2}{2}<\min\{V(r_-),V(\infty)\},\quad |L_{isco}|<|L|<C\right\}\cap H^{-1}\left(-\frac12\right).

Here EE is the particle energy, LL its angular momentum, VV the effective potential, and HH the Hamiltonian. Generic Schwarzschild bounded-phase-space diffusion conjecture. For a generic stationary perturbation of the Schwarzschild metric, for every C>0C>0 and δ>0\delta>0, an orbit exists that is δ\delta-dense on B(C)\mathcal B(C), provided ε\varepsilon is small. The same assertion holds for a generic perturbation that is 11-periodic in τ\tau.

The claim is the bounded-motion analogue of Arnold's diffusion conjecture, formulated separately for stationary and time-periodic perturbations. The source presents both assertions as conjectural and gives no resolution evidence.
