Image of a shift map along the orbits of a flow
Abstract
Let be a smooth flow on a smooth manifold and be a smooth orbit preserving map. The following problem is studied: suppose that for every point of there exists a germ of a smooth function at such that near we have that . Can the functions be glued together to give a smooth function on all of ? This question is closely related to reparametrizations of flows. We describe a large class of flows for which the above problem can be resolved, and show that they have the following property: any smooth flow whose orbits coincides with the ones of is obtained from by smooth reparametrization of time. The proof of our principal statement uses results of D. Hoffman and L. N. Mann about diameters of effective actions of Lie grous of Riemannian manifolds.
