Katok's intermediate entropy property conjecture

From papers

Let ff be a C2C^2-diffeomorphism on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension greater than one. The map ff has the intermediate entropy property when, for every number 0c<htop(f)0\leq c<h_{top}(f), there exists an ergodic measure μc\mu_c of ff such that hμc(f)=ch_{\mu_c}(f)=c. Katok's conjecture. Every C2C^2-diffeomorphism on a compact Riemannian manifold with dimension greater than one has the intermediate entropy property. Katok proved this property for C1+αC^{1+\alpha}-diffeomorphisms on surfaces; the conjecture asks for the corresponding statement in all dimensions greater than one and remains unresolved here.
