Understanding the problem

Read the background

An ergodic invertible zero-entropy transformation of a standard nonatomic probability space is not measurably conjugate to any C∞ diffeomorphism preserving a strictly positive smooth probability density on a compact finite-dimensional manifold.

Why it matters

If correct, shows that even zero entropy does not guarantee smooth positive-volume realization in any finite dimension.

What counts as progress

Does zero entropy guarantee a smooth positive-volume model for an ergodic system?
