Generic no-cut-and-paste conjecture for Lorenz maps
Generic no-cut-and-paste conjecture for Lorenz maps
Let be the collection of vector fields under consideration, let be the collection of Lorenz maps that form factor maps for vector fields , and let be the collection of Lorenz maps that do not satisfy the general cut-and-paste condition. Generic no-cut-and-paste conjecture. There should be a topology on such that is open and dense, the reduction theorem defines a surjective map
matching each vector field with its corresponding Lorenz map, is continuous for the topology on and this topology on , and
is precisely the collection of vector fields in generating a pair of homoclinic trajectories to the origin. The claim concerns the genericity of the no-cut-and-paste condition and the relation between its failure and homoclinic pairs; the source leaves the appropriate topology and the asserted correspondence unresolved.
