Metric properties of Cherry flows (Q1188225): Difference between revisions

The authors are concerned with the problem of classifying vector fields with a finite number of hyperbolic singularities on the two-dimensional torus. In particular it is studied the problem when the vector field, without closed orbits, has a finite number of hyperbolic singularities, sinks and saddles, and positive divergence on the saddle-type singularities. The problem seems open if one does not allow the condition about the divergence of the field on the singularities of saddle-type or if the vector field has both sinks and sources.
