Abstract

Let vv be a continuous flow with arbitrary singularities on a compact surface. Then we show that if vv is non-wandering then vv is topologically equivalent to a CC^{\infty} flow such that there are no exceptional orbits and PSing(v)={xMω(x)α(x)Sing(v)}\mathrm{P} \sqcup \mathop{\mathrm{Sing}}(v) = \{ x \in M \mid \omega(x) \cup \alpha(x) \subseteq \mathop{\mathrm{Sing}}(v) \}, where P\mathrm{P} is the union of non-closed proper orbits and \sqcup is the disjoint union symbol. Moreover, vv is non-wandering if and only if LDPer(v)MSing(v)\overline{\mathrm{LD}\sqcup \mathop{\mathrm{Per}}(v)} \supseteq M - \mathop{\mathrm{Sing}}(v), where LD\mathrm{LD} is the union of locally dense orbits and A\overline{A} is the closure of a subset AMA \subseteq M. On the other hand, vv is topologically transitive if and only if vv is non-wandering such that int(Per(v)Sing(v))= \mathop{\mathrm{int}}(\mathop{\mathrm{Per}}(v) \sqcup \mathop{\mathrm{Sing}}(v)) = \emptyset and M(PSing(v))M - (\mathrm{P} \sqcup \mathop{\mathrm{Sing}}(v)) is connected, where intA\mathrm{int} {A} is the interior of a subset AMA \subseteq M. In addition, we construct a smooth flow on T2\mathbb{T}^2 with P=LD=T2\overline{\mathrm{P}} = \overline{\mathrm{LD}} =\mathbb{T}^2.
