Topological equivalence for saddle connections (Q1431471)

The author gives a complete topological classification for saddle connections of three-dimensional analytic real vector fields that respect a normal crossing divisor. This kind of connections many appear after blowing-up of degenerate singularities, the divisor being the exceptional divisor of the blowing-up sequence. The main result is that one gets three classes of topological equivalence, depending on the fact that the first ratio of eigenvalues is lower, equal or higher than the second one.
