Abstract: We study the cohomological equation for a smooth vector field on a compact manifold. We show that if the vector field is cohomology free, then it can be embedded continuously in a linear flow on an Abelian group.

Review text

The article deals with cohomology-free vector fields \(X\) on a compact smooth connected manifold \(M\). It is assumed that a flow \((\phi^t)\) generated by \(X\) is \(C^\infty\)-stable (that is the image of the Lie derivative operator \(L_X\) is a closed subspace of \(C^\infty(M)\)) and cohomology free (that is its flow cohomology \(C^\infty(M) / L_X(C^\infty(M))\) is one dimensional). It is proved that there are a (possibly non separated) topological Abelian group \(A\), a continuous homomorphism \(l \in {\mathbb R} \mapsto at \in A\), and a continuous injection \(l:\;M \to A\), such that \(l(\phi^t(y)) = ly + at\) for every \(y \in M\) and \(t \in {\mathbb R}\). Moreover, there is a continuous projection \(\pi\) of \(A\) onto Albanese torus of \(M\) such that \(\pi \circ l\) is semi-conjugacy (due to F. R. and J. R. Hertz). In other words, under assumptions given above, the vector field can be embedded continuously in a linear flow on an abelian group.
