Compactness conjecture for heteroclinic orbits modulo time translation

From papers

Let H\mathcal{H} be the space of heteroclinic orbits of the semilinear parabolic equation, and let YλY_\lambda denote the ambient space in which these orbits are considered. Identify heteroclinic orbits that differ only by time translation. Compactness conjecture. The resulting space of heteroclinic orbits is compact in YλY_\lambda. A compactness theorem of this kind is needed to develop a Floer homology for the space of heteroclinic orbits. The source notes that related compactness results are known for positive solutions centered on an equilibrium, while the general-sign case remains open.
