Three heteroclinic orbits induce a countable family of equivalence classes of regular flows

We solve the problem of topological classification for smooth structurally stable flows on closed four-dimensional manifolds, the non-wandering set of which contains exactly two saddle equilibria, and the wandering set contains isolated trajectories connecting these saddle equilibria (heteroclinic curves). In particular, we show that for a flow of the class under consideration on $\mathbb{CP}^2$, the number of heteroclinic curves is a complete topological invariant, while on the sphere $\mathbb S^4$, there exists a countably many equivalence classes with an arbitrary odd number $γ\geq 3$ of heteroclinic curves. These results contrast with a three-dimensional case, where under similar conditions there exists only finite set of equivalence classes for each number of heteroclinic curves.

On Topology of Carrying Manifolds of Regular Homeomorphisms

We describe interrelations between a topology structure of closed manifolds (orientable and non-orientable) of the dimension $n\geq 4$ and the structure of the non-wandering set of regular homeomorphisms, in particular, Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms.

Morse index of saddle equilibria of gradient-like flows on connected sums of $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times \mathbb{S}^1$

Let $M$ be either $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ or a connected sum of finitely many copies of $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times \mathbb{S}^{1}$, $n\geq4$. A flow $f^t$ on $M$ is called gradient-like whenever its non-wandering set consists of finitely many hyperbolic equilibria and their invariant manifolds intersects transversally. We prove that if invariant manifolds of distinct saddles of a gradient-like flow $f^t$ on $M$ do not intersect each other (in other words, $f^t$ has no heteroclinic intersections), then for each saddle of $f^t$ its Morse index (i.e. dimension of the unstable manifold) is either $1$ or $n-1$, so there are no saddles with Morse indices $i\in\{2,\ldots,n-2\}$.

On Topological Classification of Morse-Smale Diffeomorphisms on the Sphere $S^n$

We consider a class $G(S^n)$ of orientation preserving Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms of the sphere $S^{n}$ of dimension $n>3$ in assumption that invariant manifolds of different saddle periodic points have no intersection. We put in a correspondence for every diffeomorphism $f\in G(S^n)$ a colored graph $Γ_f$ enriched by an automorphism $P_f$. Then we define the notion of isomorphism between two colored graphs and prove that two diffeomorphisms $f, f'\in G(S^n)$ are topologically conjugated iff the graphs $Γ_f$, $Γ_f'$ are isomorphic. Moreover we establish the existence of a linear-time algorithm for distinguishing two colored graphs of diffeomorphisms from the class $G(S^n)$.
