Equivariant versions of the radial index and of the GSV-index of a vector field or a 1-form on a singular variety with an action of a finite group are defined. They have values in the Burnside ring of the group. Poincar\'e-Hopf type…

We define two types of local indices of a vector field at an isolated zero on the boundary, and prove Poincare-Hopf-type index theorems for certain vector fields on a compact smooth manifold which have only isolated zeros.

We generalize the Poincare-Hopf theorem sum_v i(v) = X(G) to vector fields on a finite simple graph (V,E) with Whitney complex G. To do so, we define a directed simplicial complex as a finite abstract simplicial complex equipped with a…

The paper establishes a version of the Hopf boundary point lemma for sections of a vector bundle over a manifold with boundary. This result may be viewed as a counterpart to the tensor maximum principle obtained by R. Hamilton in 1986.…

The Law of Vector Fields is a term coined by Gottlieb for a relative Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem. It was first proved by Morse and expresses the Euler characteristic of a manifold with boundary in terms of the indices of a generic vector field…

A vector field X on a manifold M with possibly nonempty boundary is inward if it generates a unique local semiflow $\Phi^X$. A compact relatively open set K in the zero set of X is a block. The Poincar\'e-Hopf index is generalized to an…

We prove a Gauss-Bonnet and Poincar\'e-Hopf type theorems for complex $\partial$-manifold $\tilde{X} = X - D$, where $X$ is a complex compact manifold and $D$ is a reduced divisor. We will consider the cases such that $D$ has isolated…

This paper presents a new reformulated theorem for fields embedded on a sphere or a disk. We focus in particular on the associated sphere of a disk when closing its only one boundary. We call this the disk-sphere duality theorem for the…

The Poincare-Hopf theorem tells us that given a smooth, structurally stable vector field on a surface of genus g, the number of saddles is 2-2g less than the number of sinks and sources. We generalize this result by introducing a more…

We extend the Poincare'-Lyapounov-Nekhoroshev theorem from torus actions and invariant tori to general (non-abelian) involutory systems of vector fields and general invariant manifolds.

A geometric version of the Poincar\'e Lemma is established for the topological vector space of differential chains. In particular, every differential k-cycle with compact support in a contractible open subset U of a smooth n-manifold M is…

The Hopf theorem states that homotopy classes of continuous maps from a closed connected oriented smooth $n$-manifold $M$ to the $n$-sphere are classified by their degree. Such a map is equivalent to a section of the trivial $n$-sphere…

A classical theorem of H. Hopf asserts that a closed connected smooth manifold admits a nowhere vanishing vector field if and only if its Euler characteristic is zero. R. Brown generalized Hopf's result to topological manifolds, replacing…

The sub-Finslerian geometry means that the metric $F$ is defined only on a given subbundle of the tangent bundle, called a horizontal bundle. In the paper, a version of the Hopf-Rinow theorem is proved in the case of sub-Finslerian…

The Poincar\'{e} lemma (or Volterra theorem) is of utmost importance both in theory and in practice. It tells us every differential form which is closed, is locally exact. In other words, on a contractible manifold all closed forms are…
