Expansive flows on uniform spaces

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper we study several dynamical properties on uniform spaces. We define expansive flows on uniform spaces and provide some equivalent ways of defining expansivity. We also define the concept of expansive measures for flows on uniform spaces. We prove for flows on compact uniform spaces that every expansive measure vanishes along the orbits and has no singularities in the support. We also prove that every expansive measure for flows on uniform spaces is aperiodic and is expansive with respect to time-<inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ T $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> map. Furthermore we show that every expansive measure for flows on compact uniform spaces maintains expansive under topological equivalence.</p>

A solution to Flinn’s conjecture on weakly expansive flows

In L. W. Flinn’s PhD thesis published in 1972, the author conjectured that weakly expansive flows are also expansive flows. In this paper we use the horocycle flow on compact Riemann surfaces of constant negative curvature to show that Flinn’s conjecture is not true.

Countably Expansiveness for Continuous Dynamical Systems

Expansiveness is very closely related to the stability theory of the dynamical systems. It is natural to consider various types of expansiveness such as countably-expansive, measure expansive, N-expansive, and so on. In this article, we introduce the new concept of countably expansiveness for continuous dynamical systems on a compact connected smooth manifold M by using the dense set D of M, which is different from the weak expansive flows. We establish some examples having the countably expansive property, and we prove that if a vector field X of M is C 1 stably countably expansive then it is quasi-Anosov.

Geodesic Flows Modelled by Expansive Flows

Given a smooth compact surface without focal points and of higher genus, it is shown that its geodesic flow is semi-conjugate to a continuous expansive flow with a local product structure such that the semi-conjugation preserves time parametrization. It is concluded that the geodesic flow has a unique measure of maximal entropy.
