Robustly transitive flows on compact manifolds (Q1420190)

Let \(M^n\) be a compact Riemannian \(n\)-manifold without boundary, \(n\geq 3\), and \(X\) a \(C^1\)-vector field defined on \(M^n\). The vector field \(X\) is robustly transitive if it admits a \(C^1\)-neighborhood \(U\) of transitive vector fields \(Y\), that is \(Y\) admits a dense orbit in \(M^n\). The main result of this note is the following: If \(X\) is robustly transitive, then \(X\) has no singularity. The main tool in the proof is the notion of dominated structure.
