Toward the classification of cohomology-free vector fields
Abstract
Description
In 1984, Anatole Katok conjectured that the only closed orientable manifolds that support cohomology-free vector fields are tori and these vector fields are smoothly conjugated to Diophantine (constant) ones.
In this work we present a proof of Katok conjecture for 3-manifolds.
