Density conjecture for generic orbits of the bicycle map
Density conjecture for generic orbits of the bicycle map
Fix a degree and consider the torus of hedgehogs whose support functions are trigonometric polynomials of degree , with the amplitudes of each harmonic fixed. The map acts on the th circle factor by rotation through , where . Density conjecture. For a generic , the orbit of a point is dense in the torus . This expectation is based on the anticipated rational independence of the angles ; the supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
