Abstract: We establish a new criterion for the existence of a global cross section to a non-singular volume-preserving flow on a compact manifold. Namely, if Phi is a non-singular smooth flow on a compact, connected manifold M with a smooth invariant volume form Omega, then Phi admits a global cross section if and only if the (n1)-form iXOmega is intrinsically harmonic, that is, harmonic with respect to some Riemannian metric on M.
