A topological characterization for non-wandering surface flows

Abstract: Let

v

be a continuous flow with arbitrary singularities on a compact surface. Then we show that if

v

is non-wandering then

v

is topologically equivalent to a

C^{i n f t y}

flow such that there are no exceptional orbits and

m a t h r m P s q c u p m a t h o p m a t h r m S i n g (v) = x i n M m i d o m e g a (x) c u p a l p h a (x) s u b s e t e q m a t h o p m a t h r m S i n g (v)

, where

m a t h r m P

is the union of non-closed proper orbits and

s q c u p

is the disjoint union symbol. Moreover,

v

is non-wandering if and only if

o v e r l i n e m a t h r m L D s q c u p m a t h o p m a t h r m P e r (v) s u p s e t e q M - m a t h o p m a t h r m S i n g (v)

, where

m a t h r m L D

is the union of locally dense orbits and

o v e r l i n e A

is the closure of a subset

A s u b s e t e q M

. On the other hand,

v

is topologically transitive if and only if

v

is non-wandering such that

m a t h o p m a t h r m i n t (m a t h o p m a t h r m P e r (v) s q c u p m a t h o p m a t h r m S i n g (v)) = e m p t y s e t

and

M - (m a t h r m P s q c u p m a t h o p m a t h r m S i n g (v))

is connected, where

m a t h r m i n t A

is the interior of a subset

A s u b s e t e q M

. In addition, we construct a smooth flow on

m a t h b b T^{2}

with

o v e r l i n e m a t h r m P = o v e r l i n e m a t h r m L D = m a t h b b T^{2}

.
