Review text

For an analytic proper function \(f:M\to \mathbb{R}\) on a Riemannian manifold \(M\) defined in a neighborhood of a closed regular set \(P\subset f^{-1}(y)\), it is shown that the sets of nontrivial trajectories of the equation \(\dot{x}=\nabla f(x)\) attracted by \(P\) and \(\Omega\cap\{f<y\}\) (where \(\Omega\) is an conveniently choosen neighborhood of \(P\)) have the same Čech-Alexander cohomology groups. Also necessary conditions for the existence of a trajectory joining two subsets \(P_j\subset f^{-1}(y_j)\), \(j=1,2\), when the interval \((y_1,y_2)\) consists of regular values of \(f\), are obtained.
