Abstract

We prove a conjecture of G.A. Margulis on the abundance of certain exceptional orbits of partially hyperbolic flows on homogeneous spaces by utilizing a theory of modified Schmidt games, which are modifications of (α,β)(α,β)-games introduced by W. Schmidt in mid-1960s.

Audit summary

Audited against arXiv v2

Not a correctness certificate. A “Correct” result may include yellow typos or minor formal corrections that do not affect substantive soundness. It means this audit found no unresolved substantive error under the stated criteria; it does not replace expert scrutiny or formal verification.

01Statements2 reported findingsCorrect

The modified-game winning results for bounded and orbit-avoidance sets on homogeneous spaces, and the resulting thickness statement related to Margulis's conjecture, are correct.

Theorems 1.1 and 1.2Correct

The unstable-horospherical winning statements are correct

Pages 3–4 and 8–22 · Theorems 1.1–1.2 · arXiv:1001.5017v2

The admissible expanding region supplies a modified Schmidt game on the unstable subgroup. Quantitative non-divergence and the local product structure yield strategies for bounded forward orbits and for avoiding a prescribed countable collection of submanifolds.

Full paper, version 2
Corollary 1.3 and Theorem 1.4Correct

The global thickness consequences follow from the slice results

Pages 4–5 and 22–33 · global consequences · arXiv:1001.5017v2

Winning gives full dimension on unstable leaves, while stable and neutral directions are restored through local product coordinates and a slicing theorem. The hypotheses on the centralizer and the orbit-closure obstruction are exactly those used in this passage.

02Proofs2 reported findingsCorrect

The modified-game, non-divergence, and local-product arguments are correct and complete.

Theorem 4.2Correct and complete

The bounded-orbit game strategy is complete

Pages 11–20 · Theorem 4.2 and proof · arXiv:1001.5017v2

At every game scale quantitative non-divergence bounds the dangerous cusp set, and the expanding subgroup action leaves a legal translate outside it. Iterating over a compact exhaustion yields a uniformly bounded trajectory.

Sections 6–8Correct and complete

Orbit avoidance and the Margulis application close

Pages 21–33 · Theorem 6.1 and final applications · arXiv:1001.5017v2

Transversality controls the intersections with forbidden submanifolds, countable intersections preserve winning, and local product coordinates transfer the leafwise dimension to the full homogeneous space without losing a dimension.

Recommended production method

Authenticate with ORCID, then require an exact arXiv match

MathAudit should accept the identity only when ORCID OAuth authenticates the claimant's iD and this exact arXiv paper appears in arXiv's public authority feed for that iD. A matching name alone is not sufficient.

ORCID OAuth and arXiv authority-record lookup are not connected in this local prototype.

Email fallback for papers without a linked ORCID

A production fallback could send a one-time link only when the submitted address matches an independently maintained author-contact allowlist for this paper. MathAudit must return the same message for every address so the form cannot reveal which contacts are on that list.

This demonstration does not send, store, or compare the address.

Structured response preview

This form remains unavailable until production identity verification succeeds. Nothing entered here is submitted.

This panel never establishes authorship in the local prototype. A production result should be described narrowly as an authenticated ORCID match or control of a separately allowlisted author-contact mailbox.
