Partial Results
Progress has been made in showing that the exceptional set of real pairs (α,β) violating the statement of the conjecture must be small. Manfred Einsiedler, Anatole Katok and Elon Lindenstrauss have shown that it must have Hausdorff dimension zero; and in fact is a union of countably many compact sets of box-counting dimension zero. The result was proved by using measure classification theorem for diagonalizable actions of higher-rank groups, and an isolation theorem proved by Lindenstrauss and Barak Weiss.

Famous quotes containing the words partial and/or results:
“And meanwhile we have gone on living,
Living and partly living,
Picking together the pieces,
Gathering faggots at nightfall,
Building a partial shelter,
For sleeping and eating and drinking and laughter.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
