The measure-zero conjecture for minimal restricted interval exchange transformations

At least 10 years old · documented by

Let π\pi be a permutation, let ⟨ ,⟩π\langle\,,\rangle_\pi be the associated pairing, and let R\mathscr R be a restriction space that is rich with respect to ⟨ ,⟩π\langle\,,\rangle_\pi. Write Xπ,RX_{\pi,\mathscr R} for the space of interval exchange transformations satisfying the restrictions in R\mathscr R, and let Mπ,RM_{\pi,\mathscr R} be its subset of minimal transformations.

Measure-zero conjecture. The subset Mπ,RM_{\pi,\mathscr R} has zero Lebesgue measure in Xπ,RX_{\pi,\mathscr R}.

This conjecture strengthens the preceding expectation that minimal transformations satisfying a rich restriction space are not stably minimal. It is motivated by examples in which the minimal locus has codimension one, or has codimension between zero and one; the general measure-zero statement remains open.
