Automorphisms of generic gradient vector fields with prescribed finite symmetries

Publication date 18 December 2019

Abstract: Let

M

be a compact and connected smooth manifold endowed with a smooth action of a finite group

G a m m a

, and let

f

be a

G a m m a

-invariant Morse function on

M

. We prove that the space of

G a m m a

-invariant Riemannian metrics on

M

contains a residual subset

{m a t h c a l M e t}_{f}

with the following property. Let

g i n {m a t h c a l M e t}_{f}

and let

a b l a^{g} f

be the gradient vector field of

f

with respect to

g

. For any diffeomorphism

p h i

of

M

preserving

a b l a^{g} f

there exists some real number

t

and some

g a m m a i n G a m m a

such that for every

x i n M

we have

p h i (x) = g a m m a, P h i_{t}^{g} (x)

, where

P h i_{t}^{g}

is the time-

t

flow of the vector field

a b l a^{g} f

.
