Abstract

In this paper we study the centralizer of flows and Rd\mathbb R^d-actions on compact Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the centralizer of every CC^\infty Komuro-expansive flow with non-ressonant singularities is trivial, meaning it is the smallest possible, and deduce there exists an open and dense subset of geometric Lorenz attractors with trivial centralizer. We show that Rd\mathbb R^d-actions obtained as suspension of Zd\mathbb Z^d-actions are expansive if and only if the same holds for the Zd\mathbb Z^d-actions. We also show that homogeneous expansive Rd\mathbb R^d-actions have quasi-trivial centralizers, meaning that it consists of orbit invariant, continuous linear reparametrizations of the Rd\mathbb R^d-action. In particular, homogeneous Anosov Rd\mathbb R^d-actions have quasi-trivial centralizer.
