Abstract: We prove that a flow on a compact surface is expansive if and only if the singularities are of saddle type and the union of their separatrices is dense. Moreover we show that such flows are obtained by surgery on the suspension of minimal interval exchange maps.

Review text

The paper is a systematic study of expansive flows on surfaces. The main result states that the following conditions are equivalent for a flow \(\phi\) without fixed points of index \(0\) on a compact surface: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[1.] \(\phi\) is expansive; \item[2.] \(\phi\) is nonwandering flow with finitely many fixed points and no periodic points (minimal period \(t>0\)); \item[3.] all fixed points are of saddle type and the union of their separatrices is dense in the surface. \end{itemize}} Then characterizations of expansive flows for various cases are provided. For example, it is proved that a suspension of an interval exchange transformation \(f\) is an expansive flow if \(f\) has no periodic points and the surface is not a torus. It is also shown that a compact connected surface \(S\) admits an expansive flow iff it is obtained from the sphere by attaching \(h\geq 0\) handles, \(b\geq 0\) boundaries and \(c\geq 0\) cross-cups, where the inequalities \(h>0\), \(h+b+c>1\) are satisfied.
