This paper presents a brief survey for the theory of stability of weakly hyperbolic invariant sets. It has been proved in several papers that I published along with Pliss and Sell that a weakly hyperbolic invariant set is stable even if the Lipschitz condition fails to hold. However, the uniqueness of leaves of a weakly hyperbolic invariant set of a perturbed system remains an open question. We show that this problem is connected to the so-called plaque expansivity conjecture in the theory of dynamical systems.
