Dependency of the positive and negative long-time behaviors of flows on surfaces. (English) Zbl 1528.37037

In this paper, the author studies the structure of \(\omega\)-limit sets of flows defined on compact surfaces. In particular, it is shown that the \(\omega\)-limit of an orbit whose closure has non-empty interior (locally dense orbit), is either a nowhere dense subset of singular points or the closure of a non-closed locally dense recurrent trajectory (Theorem A). Further, the author observes that this is also the structure depicted by the \(\omega\)-limit sets of non-closed trajectories of non-wandering flows (Theorem B). For Hamiltonian flows, Theorem C establishes that \(\omega\)-limits of non-closed trajectories on possibly non-compact surfaces consist of singular points.
The author also introduces the notion of pre-Hamiltonian flow which is a flow whose non-singular trajectories are the connected components of the level sets of the restriction of some real-valued function to the surface obtained by removing the singular points, and comprise a codimension-one foliaton of this new surface. Theorem E states that if a flow has a finite number of singular points being pre-Hamiltonian is equivalent to being Hamiltonian.
