Existence and directional uniqueness of ODD integral curves
Existence and directional uniqueness of ODD integral curves
Let be an ODD Riemannian manifold, let , and let be an ODD vector field without zeros. An ODD regular integral curve is a regular integral curve in the ODD sense.
Existence and directional uniqueness conjecture. There exists and at least one ODD regular integral curve with . If and are two integral curves through , and is chosen small enough that and are regular away from , then
The claim extends existence of integral curves beyond general points of maximal components, while allowing non-uniqueness in the usual parametrized sense; uniqueness is asserted through the limiting normalized directions. The surrounding discussion presents this as a conjectural extension, and no resolution is given.
