Abstract:
In this paper, we study gradient-like flows without heteroclinic intersections on an n-sphere up to topological conjugacy. We prove that such a flow is completely defined by a bicolor tree corresponding to a skeleton formed by codimension one separatrices. Moreover, we show that such a tree is a complete invariant for these flows with respect to the topological equivalence also. This result implies that for these flows with the same (up to a change of coordinates) partitions into trajectories, the partitions for elements, composing isotopies connecting time-one shifts of these flows with the identity map, also coincide. This phenomenon strongly contrasts with the situation for flows with periodic orbits and connections, where one class of equivalence contains continuum classes of conjugacy. In addition, we realize every connected bicolor tree by a gradient-like flow without heteroclinic intersections on the n-sphere. In addition, we present a linear-time algorithm on the number of vertices for distinguishing these trees.
The realization results were implemented as an output of the RSF project No 17-11-01041.
The classification results were obtained with assistance from the Laboratory of Dynamical Systems
and Applications NRU HSE of the Ministry of science and Higher Education of the RF grant ag.
No 075-15-2019-1931 and the RFBR project No 20-31-90067. The algorithmic results (Theorem 2.7
and its proof) were prepared within the framework of the Basic Research Program at the National
Research University “Higher School of Economics” (HSE).
