Abstract:
We show that for any n⩾4 there exists an n-dimensional closed manifold Mn on which one can define a Morse–Smale gradient flow ft with two nodes and two saddles such that the closure of the separatrix of some saddle of ft is a wildly embedded sphere of codimension 2. We also prove that the closures of separatrices of a flow with three equilibrium points are always embedded in a locally flat way.
