Abstract: Let M be a smooth manifold and F be a vector field on M. My article ["Smooth shifts along trajectories of flows", Topol. Appl. 130 (2003) 183-204, arXiv:math/0106199] concerning the homotopy types of the group of diffeomorphisms preserving orbits of F contains two errors. They imply that the principal statement of that paper holds under additional assumptions on F. Unfortunately this result was essentially used in another paper of mine ["Homotopy types of stabilizers and orbits of Morse functions on surfaces" Ann. Glob. Anal. Geom., 29 no. 3, (2006) 241-285, arXiv:math/0310067]. The aim of this article is to expose the results of the first paper in a right way, extend them to a larger class of flows with degenerate singularities, and show that the results of the second paper remain true.


For a smooth flow \(F:M\times\mathbb R\to M\) on a smooth manifold \(M\) let \(\mathcal E(F)\) consist of those \(C^\infty\) maps \(M\to M\) which map each orbit into itself and which are local diffeomorphisms at every singular point of \(F\). Let \(\mathcal D(M)\) be the group of \(C^\infty\) diffeomorphisms and \(\mathcal D(F)=\mathcal E(F)\cap\mathcal D(M)\). It is shown for a class of flows that the inclusion \(\mathcal D_{\text{id}}(F)\subset\mathcal E_{\text{id}}(F)\) is a homotopy equivalence and both spaces are either contractible or homotopy equivalent to \(\mathbb S^1\) when the Whitney \textsl{W}\(^r\) topology (\(0\leq r\leq\infty\)) is used, where the subscript id means the identity component.
