Poincaré's homoclinic density conjecture
Poincaré's homoclinic density conjecture
Let be a compact surface, let denote the space of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of , and let and be the stable and unstable manifolds of a hyperbolic periodic point . A point in is a homoclinic point of . A subset is residual if it contains a countable intersection of open dense subsets. Poincaré's homoclinic density conjecture. There exists a residual set such that, if and is a hyperbolic periodic point of , then the homoclinic points of are dense in both stable and unstable manifolds of . Equivalently, for every segment in or ,
The conjecture is presented as one of Poincaré's two fundamental conjectures on generic area-preserving surface dynamics; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
