Abstract

We consider the ways minimal sets of flows in S3S^3 may be embedded. We prove that given any C2C^2 flow on S3S^3 with positive entropy, there is an uncountable collection M\mathcal{M} of topologically distinct minimal sets such that for each MMM\in \mathcal{M} there are infinitely many embedded copies of MM in the flow, each copy with a distinct knot type, thus extending work of Franks and Williams for periodic orbits.
