Let Y and X denote C^k vector fields on a possibly noncompact surface with empty boundary, k >0. Say that Y tracks X if the dynamical system it generates locally permutes integral curves of X. Let K be a locally maximal compact set of zeroes of X. THEOREM Assume the Poincare-Hopf index of X at K is nonzero, and the k-jet of X at each point of K is nontrivial. If g is a supersolvable Lie algebra of C^k vector fields that track X, then the elements of g have a common zero in K. Applications are made to attractors and transformation groups.

Unless another thing is stated one works in the $C^infty$ category and manifolds have empty boundary. Let $X$ and $Y$ be vector fields on a manifold $M$. We say that $Y$ tracks $X$ if $[Y,X]=fX$ for some continuous function $fcolon Mrightarrowmathbb R$. A subset $K$ of the zero set ${mathsf Z}(X)$ is an essential block for $X$ if it is non-empty, compact, open in ${mathsf Z}(X)$ and its Poincare-Hopf index does not vanishes. One says that $X$ is non-flat at $p$ if its $infty$-jet at $p$ is non-trivial. A point $p$ of ${mathsf Z}(X)$ is called a primary singularity of $X$ if any vector field defined about $p$ and tracking $X$ vanishes at $p$. This is our main result: Consider an essential block $K$ of a vector field $X$ defined on a surface $M$. Assume that $X$ is non-flat at every point of $K$. Then $K$ contains a primary singularity of $X$. As a consequence, if $M$ is a compact surface with non-zero characteristic and $X$ is nowhere flat, then there exists a primary singularity of $X$.
Filip showed that there are constants $C>0$ and $delta>0$ such that the number of special Lagrangian fibrations of volume $leq V$ in a generic twistor family of K3 surfaces is $Ccdot V^{20}+O(V^{20-delta})$. In this note, we show that $delta$ can be taken to be any number $0<delta<frac{4}{697633}$.
The Conley theory has a tool to guarantee the existence of periodic trajectories in isolating neighborhoods of semi-dynamical systems. We prove that the positive trajectories generated by a piecewise-smooth vector field $Z=(X, Y)$ defined in a closed manifold of three dimensions without the scape region produces a semi-dynamical system. Thus, we have built a semiflow that allows us to apply the classical Conley theory. Furthermore, we use it to guarantee the existence of periodic orbits in this class of piecewise-smooth vector fields.
For a smooth family of exact forms on a smooth manifold, an algorithm for computing a primitive family smoothly dependent on parameters is given. The algorithm is presented in the context of a diagram chasing argument in the v{C}ech-de Rham complex. In addition, explicit formulas for such primitive family are presented.
We characterize the exact lumpability of smooth vector fields on smooth manifolds. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for lumpability and express them from four different perspectives, thus simplifying and generalizing various results from the literature that exist for Euclidean spaces. We introduce a partial connection on the pullback bundle that is related to the Bott connection and behaves like a Lie derivative. The lumping conditions are formulated in terms of the differential of the lumping map, its covariant derivative with respect to the connection and their respective kernels. Some examples are discussed to illustrate the theory.
