A smooth counterexample to the Seifert conjecture (Q1842646): Difference between revisions

Developing an ingenious construction of a \(C^\infty\) aperiodic plug in dimension three, the author offers a counterexample to the Seifert conjecture: every nonsingular continuous vector field on \(S^3\) has a closed integral curve. In fact the answer of the author is the following (Theorem 5.1): There exists on \(S^3\) a \(C^\infty\) dynamical system with no compact orbits.
