Generic transversality conjecture for nonlinear dynamics

Let MM be a compact manifold of dimension mm, let P:MRdP:M\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^d be smooth, and let F\mathfrak{F} be the quasi-stratification of MM by the level sets Fx\mathfrak{F}_x of PP. Let NN be a finite union of immersed submanifolds of dimension at most nn, with transverse self-intersections, and let D(M)D^{\infty}(M) denote the space of smooth diffeomorphisms from MM to itself. For FD(M)F\in D^{\infty}(M), define Ix=F(N)FxI_x=F(N)\cap\mathfrak{F}_x. Generic transversality conjecture. For an open and dense set of FD(M)F\in D^{\infty}(M),

dim(Ix)max(nd,0)xRd,\dim(I_x)\leq\max(n-d,0)\qquad\forall x\in\mathbb{R}^d,

and IxI_x is a finite union of stably immersed submanifolds. This conjecture is intended to extend the preceding linear-dynamics argument to nonlinear dynamics; the source gives no resolution, and the genericity and stable-immersion assertions are the ingredients used to control successive intersections of projected dynamical images.
