Mae9's generic uniqueness conjecture for minimizing measures

Let MM be a closed manifold, let LL be a generic Lagrangian on MM, and let H1(M,R)H^1(M,\mathbb{R}) be the first real cohomology group. There exists a dense open subset U0H1(M,R)U_0\subset H^1(M,\mathbb{R}) such that, for every ωU0\omega\in U_0, the set Mω(L)\mathcal{M}_{\omega}(L) of minimizing measures consists of a single periodic orbit or a fixed point.

Ma~n'e's conjecture. For a generic Lagrangian LL on a closed manifold MM, there exist a dense open set U0U_0 of H1(M,R)H^1(M,\mathbb{R}) such that for every ωU0\omega\in U_0, Mω(L)\mathcal{M}_{\omega}(L) consists of a single periodic orbit or fixed point.

This is a genericity conjecture concerning the structure and uniqueness of minimizing measures in Lagrangian dynamics. The supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved, so its status is recorded as open.
