Generic Morse–Smale conjecture for directional foliations on dilation surfaces

About 6 years old · traced to

Let XX be a dilation surface that is not a translation surface, and let m∈RP1m\in\mathbb{RP}^1 be a direction. The directional foliation in direction mm is the foliation by geodesic-flow leaves of slope mm; a foliation is Morse–Smale if it has finitely many closed leaves such that the α\alpha- and ω\omega-limit sets of every leaf are among them.

Generic Morse–Smale conjecture. The collection of directions m∈RP1m\in\mathbb{RP}^1 for which the directional foliation of XX is Morse–Smale has full measure.

This conjecture predicts that, for a generic direction on a non-translation dilation surface, the geodesic flow is attracted to finitely many closed leaves. The supplied source does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
