Thom's conjecture on invariant functions of generic vector fields
Thom's conjecture on invariant functions of generic vector fields
Let be a compact connected manifold, let be a -generic vector field on , and let be a function that is either or . Call invariant if it is constant along the flow orbits of . Thom's conjecture. Every invariant function is constant on . This conjecture would yield triviality of the -centralizer for generic vector fields with at most finitely many sinks or sources. The source attributes the conjecture to René Thom; its resolution status is not specified here.
