Generic nowhere differentiability along unit speed curves

About 1 year old · traced to

Let UU be a bounded open set in Rd{\mathbb R}^d. Write C(U‾)C(\overline U) for the space of continuous real-valued functions on U‾\overline U, and let GδG_\delta denote a countable intersection of open sets. Genericity conjecture. The set of functions in C(U‾)C(\overline U) whose restriction to each C1C^1 unit speed curve is nowhere differentiable contains a dense GδG_\delta subset. The first conjecture asks for existence on all of Rd{\mathbb R}^d, whereas this conjecture asserts genericity on a bounded domain; the preceding theorem only proves the corresponding statement for curves with additional Hölder regularity of the derivative.
