Palis's weak conjecture on generic Morse-Smale or homoclinic dynamics

Let MM be a compact manifold and let Diffr(M)\operatorname{Diff}^r(M) be the space of CrC^r-diffeomorphisms, where r1r\geq 1, endowed with the CrC^r-topology. Let MS\mathcal{MS} denote the set of Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms and let I\mathcal{I} denote the set of diffeomorphisms having a transverse homoclinic intersection. Palis's weak conjecture. The space Diffr(M)\operatorname{Diff}^r(M) contains a dense open set which decomposes as the union MSI\mathcal{MS}\cup\mathcal{I} of two disjoint open sets. One interest of the conjecture is that it gives information on a large (open and dense) set of diffeomorphisms.
