This paper is quite long and it is very difficult to summarize all of this. But main purpose of this paper is to prove Theorem~{0.1} below. Let \(M\) be a compact orientable surface of genus \(g\geq2\). Let \((\Sigma, i)\) be a divisor on \(M\), \(\Sigma=\{p_1,\ldots,p_\sigma\}\subset M\), \(i=(i_1,\ldots,i_\sigma)\in Z^\sigma\), \(i_k<0\) and \(\sum_ki_k=2-2g\), \({\mathcal F}^i(M,\Sigma)\) be the space of orientable measured foliations, \({\mathcal E}^i_\omega(M,\Sigma)\) be the space of all smooth \(\omega\)-preserving vector fields on \(M\backslash\Sigma\) such that \(\eta_X=i_X\omega\) is smooth on \(M\) and the orbit foliation \({\mathcal F}_X=\{\eta_X=0\}\in{\mathcal F}^i(M,\Sigma)\). Theorem 0.1. For almost all \(X\in{\mathcal D}^i_\omega(M,\Sigma)\), the flow \(\Phi^\tau_X\) has a deviation spectrum in the following sense. There exists a finite set of exponents \[ \lambda_1'(X)=1> \lambda_2'(X)>\cdots> \lambda_s'(X)>0 \] and splitting of the space \({\mathcal T}^1_X(M)\) of \(X\)-invariant distributions of order 1 \[ {\mathcal T}^1_X(M)={\mathcal T}^1_X(\lambda_1')\oplus\cdots\oplus {\mathcal T}^1_X(\lambda_s') \] such that the following holds. Let \(f\in H^1_0(M\backslash\Sigma)\) be a weakly differentiable function with \(L^2\) partial derivatives, supported in \(M\backslash\Sigma\), such that \[ D^X(f)=0,\quad\text{for all }\quad D_X\in{\mathcal T}^1_X(\lambda_1')\oplus\cdots \oplus{\mathcal T}^1_X(\lambda_i'). \] If \(i<s\), then for all \(p\in M\) with regular forward trajectory, \[ \limsup_{T\to+\infty} {\log\int_0^{\mathcal T}f(\Phi_X(p,\tau)\,d\tau\over\log{\mathcal T}} \leq\lambda_{i+1}'(X) \] and there exists \(D^X_{i+1}\in{\mathcal T}_X(\lambda_{i+1}')\backslash\{0\}\) such that, if \(D_{i+1}^X(f)\neq0\), then equality holds for almost all \(p\in M\). If \(i=s\), then for all \(p\in M\) with regular forward trajectory, \[ \limsup_{T\to+\infty} {\log\int_0^{\mathcal T}f(\Phi_X(p,\tau)\,d\tau\over\log{\mathcal T}}=0. \] The multiplicities \(m_i(X)=\dim{\mathcal T}_X(\lambda_i')\) satisfy the conditions \(\sum_im_i(X)=g\) and \(m_1(X)=1\), since \({\mathcal T}_X(\lambda_1')=R\cdot\omega\). The deviation spectrum with multiplicities \(\{(\lambda_i'(X),m_i(X))\}\) is locally constant on \({\mathcal E}^i_\omega(M,\Sigma)\).
