This paper shows that the topological structures of particle orbits generated by a generic class of vector fields on spherical surfaces, called {\it the flow of finite type}, are in one-to-one correspondence with discrete structures such as…
In the paper, we show that for a generic $C^1$ vector field $X$ on a closed three dimensional manifold $M$, any isolated transitive set of $X$ is singular hyperbolic. It is a partial answer of the conjecture in \cite{MP}.
In this note we announce a result for vector fields on three-dimensional manifolds: those who are singular hyperbolic or exhibit a homoclinic tangency form a dense subset of the space of $C^1$-vector fields. This answers a conjecture by…
An explicit isomorphism between Morse homology and singular homology is constructed via the technique of pseudo-cycles. Given a Morse cycle as a formal sum of critical points of a Morse function, the unstable manifolds for the negative…
In the present paper we consider preserving orientation Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on surfaces. Using the methods of factorization and linearizing neighborhoods we prove that such diffeomorphisms have a finite number of orientable…
We prove the following dichotomy for vector fields in a C1-residual subset of volume-preserving flows: for Lebesgue almost every point all Lyapunov exponents equal to zero or its orbit has a dominated splitting. As a consequence if we have…
We study star flows on closed 3-manifolds and prove that they either have a finite number of attractors or can be $C^1$ approximated by vector fields with orbit-flip homoclinic orbits.
In this article we show that the three-dimensional sphere admits {transitive} expansive flows in the sense of Komuro with hyperbolic equilibrium points. The result is based on a construction that allows us to see the geodesic flow of a…
Given any smooth solenoidal vector field $v_0$ on $\mathbf T^3$, we show the existence of infinitely many H\"older-continuous steady Euler flows $v$ with the same topology as $v_0$, in certain weak sense. In particular, we show that $v$…
The coexistence of singularities and regular orbits in chain transitive sets has been a major obstacle in understanding the hyperbolic/partial hyperbolic nature of robust dynamics. Notably, the vector fields with all periodic orbits…
In this article, we exhibit certain linking properties of periodic orbits of $C^{1+\alpha}$ flows with positive topological entropy on closed 3-manifolds M. It is shown that any such flow contains a link L of periodic orbits and a horseshoe…
We prove topological transitivity for the Weil Petersson geodesic flow for two-dimensional moduli spaces of hyperbolic structures. Our proof follows a new approach that exploits the density of singular unit tangent vectors, the geometry of…
We complete the theoretical framework required for the construction of a Morse homology theory for certain types of forced mean curvature flows. The main result of this paper describes the asymptotic behaviour of these flows as the forcing…
The classical approach to the study of dynamical systems consists in representing the dynamics of the system in the form of a "source-sink", that means identifying an attractor-repeller pair, which are attractor-repellent sets for all other…
We give a new proof of the well-known result that the minimal volume vector fields on $\mathbb{S}^3(r)$ are the Hopf vector fields. Such proof relies again on calibration theory, arising here from a systematic point of view given by a…
Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…
We prove that every transitive topologically Anosov flow on a closed 3-manifold is orbitally equivalent to a smooth Anosov flow, preserving an ergodic smooth volume form.
In this paper it is proved that near a compact, invariant, proper subset of a continuous flow on a compact, connected metric space, at least one, out of twenty eight relevant dynamical phenomena, will necessarily occur. This result shows…
We investigate the topological structure of flows on the Girl's surfaces which is one of two possible immersions of the projective plane in three-dimensional space with one triple point of the selfintersection. First, we describe the…
A Smale flow is a structurally stable flow with one dimensional invariant sets. We use information from homology and template theory to construct, visualize and in some cases, classify, nonsingular Smale flows in the 3-sphere.
