A volume-preserving counterexample to the Seifert conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that every 3-manifold possesses a C, volume-preserving flow with no fixed points and no closed trajectories. The main construction is a volume-preserving version of the Schweitzer plug. We also prove that every 3-manifold possesses a volume-preserving, C flow with discrete closed trajectories and no fixed points (as well as a PL flow with the same geometry), which is needed for the first result. The proof uses a Dehn-twisted Wilson-type plug which also preserves volume.

On the Construction of a C-counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert Conjecture in R
We outline the construction of a proper C2-smooth function on R4 such that its Hamiltonian flow has no periodic orbits on at least one regular level set. This result can be viewed as a C2-smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture in dimension four.

متن کاملOn the oriented perfect path double cover conjecture
An oriented perfect path double cover (OPPDC) of a graph $G$ is a collection of directed paths in the symmetric orientation $G_s$ of $G$ such that each arc of $G_s$ lies in exactly one of the paths and each vertex of $G$ appears just once as a beginning and just once as an end of a path. Maxov{'a} and Ne{v{s}}et{v{r}}il (Discrete Math. 276 (2004) 287-294) conjectured that ...
متن کاملA Smooth Counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert Conjecture in R
A smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture in R is found. Namely, we construct a smooth proper function H : R → R, 2n ≥ 6, such that the level set {H = 1} is non-singular and has no periodic orbits for the Hamiltonian flow of H with respect to the standard symplectic structure. The function H can be taken to be C-close and isotopic to a positive-definite quadratic form so tha...
متن کاملHamiltonian Dynamical Systems without Periodic Orbits
The present paper is a review of counterexamples to the “Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture” or, more generally, of examples of Hamiltonian systems having no periodic orbits on a compact energy level. We begin with the discussion of the “classical” and volume– preserving Seifert conjectures. Then the constructions of counterexamples to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture in dimensions greater than o...
