Flower-support conjecture for maximizing measures of odd trigonometric polynomials
Let be odd. Let be the circle, and let be the doubling map. For observables
consider measures maximizing the integral of among all -invariant probability measures. Flower-support conjecture. All maximizing measures are supported in a flower with at most petals. This conjecture extends the known degree-one trigonometric-polynomial result for the doubling map to higher odd degrees; the status of the proposed bound for general odd is open.
