Closing Lemma for Diffeomorphism (Dynamical Systems) ★★★★

Author(s): Charles Pugh

Conjecture   Let $ f\in Diff^{r}(M) $ and $ p\in\omega_{f}  $. Then for any neighborhood $ V_{f}\subset Diff^{r}(M)  $ there is $ g\in V_{f} $ such that $ p $ is periodic point of $ g $

There is an analogous conjecture for flows ( $ C^{r} $ vector fields . In the case of diffeos this was proved by Charles Pugh for $ r = 1 $. In the case of Flows this has been solved by Sushei Hayahshy for $ r = 1 $ . But in the two cases the problem is wide open for $ r > 1 $
