Smooth Lyapunov 1-forms

arXiv:math/0304137

Abstract

We find conditions which guarantee that a given flow on a closed smooth manifold admits a smooth Lyapunov one-form lying in a prescribed de Rham cohomology class. These conditions are formulated in terms of Schwartzman's asymptotic cycles of the flow.
