Quotient manifolds of flows

Robert E. Gompf

This paper investigates which smooth manifolds arise as quotients (orbit spaces) of flows of vector fields. Such quotient maps were already known to be surjective on fundamental gr…

Orbit Spaces of Gradient Vector Fields

Jack S. Calcut, Robert E. Gompf

We study orbit spaces of generalized gradient vector fields for Morse functions. Typically, these orbit spaces are non-Hausdorff. Nevertheless, they are quite structured topologica…
