Bochi–Katok–Rodriguez Hertz flexibility conjecture for Lyapunov exponents

Let MM be a dd-dimensional manifold, let mm be a volume, and let Diffm(M)\operatorname{Diff}_m^{\infty}(M) denote the set of volume-preserving CC^{\infty} diffeomorphisms of MM. Given a connected component CDiffm(M)C \subset \operatorname{Diff}_m^{\infty}(M) and any list of numbers ξ1ξd\xi_1 \geq \cdots \geq \xi_d satisfying

i=1dξi=0,\sum_{i=1}^{d} \xi_i = 0,

Bochi–Katok–Rodriguez Hertz flexibility conjecture. There exists an ergodic diffeomorphism fCf \in C such that ξi\xi_i, for i=1,,di=1,\ldots,d, are the Lyapunov exponents of ff with respect to mm. This predicts flexibility of the Lyapunov spectrum within every connected component of the space of smooth volume-preserving diffeomorphisms.
