The no-all-Möbius periodic-orbit suspension conjecture
Let be a vector field on , with . Let be a compact connected invariant set and a cross-section for such that the first-return map is continuous on , has infinitely many periodic points there, and its dynamics on factors through a subshift of finite type. No-all-Möbius suspension conjecture. There is no such vector field for which every periodic orbit satisfies . The conjecture is motivated by orientation constraints on flows on and the expectation that a symbolic hyperbolic-type invariant set cannot have all suspension periodic orbits of index zero; the source states that it is unresolved.
