Minimal-system nonrecurrence under two transformations

A topological dynamical system is a pair (X,T)(X,T) consisting of a compact space XX and a continuous map T:XXT:X\to X; it is minimal if every orbit is dense. For two transformations TT and SS on the same space, (x,x)(x,x) denotes the point in X×XX\times X, acted on by T×ST\times S. Minimal-system nonrecurrence conjecture. There are minimal systems (X,T)(X,T) and (X,S)(X,S) such that (x,x)(x,x) is not recurrent under T×ST\times S for any xXx\in X. This asks whether simultaneous recurrence can fail everywhere even when both systems are minimal; without minimality, examples are known, while the minimal case is posed as open.
