In this paper we study R-reversible area-preserving maps f : M → M on a two-dimensional Riemannian closed manifold M, i.e. diffeomorphisms f such that R ◦ f = f−1 ◦ R where R: M → M is an isometric involution. We obtain a C1-residual subset where any map inside it is Anosov or else has a dense set of elliptic periodic orbits, thus establishing the stability conjecture in this setting. Along the paper we derive the C1-Closing Lemma for reversible maps and other perturbation toolboxes.
