Centralizer of fixed point free separating flows

Abstract: In this paper, we study the centralizer of a separating continuous flow without fixed points. We show that if

M

is a compact metric space and

p h i_{t} : M o M

is a separating flow without fixed points, then

p h i_{t}

has a quasi-trivial centralizer, that is, if a continuous flow

p s i_{t}

commutes with

p h i_{t}

, then there exists a continuous function

A : M o m a t h b b R

which is invariant along the orbit of

p h i_{t}

such that

p s i_{t} (x) = p h i_{A (x) t} (x)

holds for all

x i n M

. We also show that if

M

is a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and

P h i_{u}

is a separating

C^{1}

m a t h b b R^{d}

-action on

M

, then

P h i_{u}

has a quasi-trivial centralizer, that is, if

P s i_{u}

is a

m a t h b b R^{d}

-action on

M

commuting with

P h i_{u}

, then there is a continuous map

A : M o m a t h c a l M_{d i m e s d} (m a t h b b R)

which is invariant along orbit of

P h i_{u}

such that

P s i_{u} (x) = P h i_{A (x) u} (x)

for all

x i n M

. These improve Theorem 1 of cite{O} and Theorem 2 of cite{BRV} respectively.
