Some examples of nonsingular Morse-Smale vector fields on S 3

One wonders or not whether it is possible to determine the homotopy class of a vector field by examining some algebraic invariants associated with its qualitative behavior. In this paper, we investigate the algebraic invariants which are usually associated with the periodic solutions of non-singular Morse-Smale vector fields on the 3-sphere. We exhibit some examples for which there appears to be no correlation between the algebraic invariants of the periodic solutions and the homotopy...

On a generalization of the Conley index

In this note we present the main ideas of the theory of the Conley index over a base space introduced in the papers [7, 8]. The theory arised as an attempt to solve two questions concerning the classical Conley index. In the definition of the index, the exit set of an isolating neighborhood is collapsed to a point. Some information is lost on this collapse. In particular, topological information about how a set sits in the phase space is lost. The first question addressed is how to retain...
