Anti-classification results for conjugacy of diffeomorphisms on manifolds
Abstract
We show that the topological conjugacy relation of diffeomorphisms on any manifold of dimension at least 2 is not classifiable by countable structures. This answers a question of Foreman and Gorodetski. We also prove that E0 is reducible into the topological conjugacy relation of minimal diffeomorphisms on the 2-torus, which answers a question of Foreman.
