The locally translation structure of flows on the wandering points set (Q4494987)

The authors consider uniformly continuous flows of homeomorphisms \(f^t:X\to X\), \(t\in\mathbb{R}\), \(X\) is a topological space. A flow \(f^t\) is conjugate to a flow \(g^t\) if there exists a homeomorphism \(\Phi:X\to X\) such that \(\Phi f^t=g^t\Phi\). The following main theorems are stated and proved. Theorem 1.2. For every flow \(f^t:X\to X\) on a normal topological space \(X\) there exists an open invariant covering \(\bigcup X_\alpha\) of the wandering points set such that every restriction \(f\mid X_\alpha\) is conjugate to a shift on a topological space \(Z_\alpha \times\mathbb{R}\). Theorem 2.2. Let \(X\) be a normal topological space. Then a flow \(f^t:X\to X\) is conjugate to a shift if and only if there exists a countable expanding open wandering covering \(\bigcup X_n\) of \(X\). Theorem 2.2 is proved first and used to prove Theorem 2.1. In Section 3 a characterization of the property of so-called semiconjugacy of a \(C^k\) flow to a shift (Theorem 3.1) is given.
