A C1 counterexample to the entropy conjecture
Constructs a noninvertible C1 self-map of a compact smooth manifold with zero topological entropy but eigenvalue 2 on second homology. This disproves the homological entropy lower bound for general C1 self-maps: homological growth need not force positive orbit complexity.
