The topological exactness conjecture for hard telic problems
The topological exactness conjecture for hard telic problems
Let be an efficiently discretizable topological dynamical system. Recall that is topologically exact if, for every nonempty open set , there exists such that . A telic problem is called hard-on-average when it satisfies the stated almost-everywhere average-case hardness condition.
Topological exactness conjecture. If is topologically exact and the system admits a hard telic problem, then there exists an almost-everywhere hard-on-average telic problem coming from the dynamical system.
The conjecture is motivated by the possible construction of one-way functions from dynamical systems with hard telic problems. Its resolution is not supplied in the source.
