Wandering Flows on the Plane

Abstract

We study planar flows without non-wandering points and prove several properties of these flows in relation with their prolongational relation. The main results of this article are that a planar (regular) wandering flow has no generalized recurrence and has only two topological invariants: the space of its orbits and its prolongational relation (or, equivalently, its smallest stream). As a byproduct, our results show that, even in absence of any type of recurrence, the stream of a flow contains fundamental information on its behavior.
