Abstract

We give a proof of an extension of the Hartman-Grobman theorem to nonhyperbolic but asymptotically stable equilibria of vector fields. Moreover, the linearizing topological conjugacy is (i) defined on the entire basin of attraction if the vector field is complete, and (ii) a Ck1C^{k\geq 1}-diffeomorphism on the complement of the equilibrium if the vector field is CkC^k and the underlying space is not 55-dimensional. We also show that the CkC^k statement in the 55-dimensional case is equivalent to the 44-dimensional smooth Poincar\'{e} conjecture.
