Conjecture   Let $ Diff^{r}(M)  $ be the space of $ C^{r} $ Diffeomorphisms on the connected , compact and boundaryles manifold M and $ \chi^{r}(M) $ the space of $ C^{r} $ vector fields. There is a dense set $ D\subset Diff^{r}(M) $ ($ D\subset \chi^{r}(M) $ ) such that $ \forall f\in D $ exhibit a finite number of attractor whose basins cover Lebesgue almost all ambient space $ M $

This is a very Deep and Hard problem in Dynamical Systems . It present the dream of the dynamicist mathematicians .

Definition : A set $ \Lambda \subset M  $ is an attractor for a Diffeomorphism (or a flow ) if it is invariant , transitive and the basin of attraction $ B(\Lambda) := \{p\in M / \omega(p)\subset \Lambda \} $ has positive Lebesgue Measure.
