Abstract

Let Φ\Phi be a flow on a smooth, compact, finite-dimensional manifold MM. Consider the subsets E(Φ)E(\Phi) and D(Φ)D(\Phi) of C(M,M)C^{\infty}(M,M) consisting of smoothh mappings and diffeomorphisms (respectively) of MM preserving the foliation of the flow Φ\Phi. Let also E0(Φ)E_{0}(\Phi) and D0(Φ)D_{0}(\Phi) be the identity path components of E(Φ)E(\Phi) and D(Φ)D(\Phi) with compact-open topology. We prove that under mild conditions on fixed points of Φ\Phi the inclusion D0(Φ)E0(Φ)D_{0}(\Phi) \subset E_{0}(\Phi) is a homotopy equivalence and these spaces are either contractible or homotopically equivalent to the circle.
