Abstract: For $ngeq1$, we exhibit a lower bound for the volume of a unit vector field on $$ depending on the absolute values of its Poincar'e indices around $pmp$. We determine which vector fields achieve this volume, and discuss the idea of having multiple isolated singularities of arbitrary configurations.
