The smoothness conjecture on orbit structure in Case 4
The smoothness conjecture on orbit structure in Case 4
Let be a group generated by homeomorphisms. For a point in Case 4, consider its orbit and an interval together with subintervals .
Smoothness conjecture. Orbits of points in Case 4 will consist of a countable number of copies of an interval , the union of a number of subintervals , in each of which the orbit is dense, has integer type, or is contained in a Cantor set.
This conjecture proposes that regularity is sufficient to obtain the expected nested description of Case 4 orbits, extending the structure known under stronger regularity assumptions. The source does not state whether it has been resolved.
