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 $X$.

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.
We use group representation theory to give algebraic formulae to compute complete transversals of singularities of vector fields, either in the nonsymmetric or in the reversible equivariant contexts. This computation produces normal forms directly, which are used sistematically in the local analysis of symmetric dynamics.
We use the notion of isomorphism between two invariant vector fields to shed new light on the issue of linearization of an invariant vector field near a relative equilibrium. We argue that the notion is useful in understanding the passage from the space of invariant vector fields in a tube around a group orbit to the space invariant vector fields on a slice to the orbit. The notion comes from Hepworths study of vector fields on stacks.
In this paper we consider the gradient flow of the following Ginzburg-Landau type energy [ F_varepsilon(u) := frac{1}{2}int_{M}vert D uvert_g^2 +frac{1}{2varepsilon^2}left(vert uvert_g^2-1right)^2mathrm{vol}_g. ] This energy is defined on tangent vector fields on a $2$-dimensional closed and oriented Riemannian manifold $M$ (here $D$ stands for the covariant derivative) and depends on a small parameter $varepsilon>0$. If the energy satisfies proper bounds, when $varepsilonto 0$ the second term forces the vector fields to have unit length. However, due to the incompatibility for vector fields on $M$ between the Sobolev regularity and the unit norm constraint, critical points of $F_varepsilon$ tend to generate a finite number of singular points (called vortices) having non-zero index (when the Euler characteristic is non-zero). These types of problems have been extensively analyzed in a recent paper by R. Ignat and R. Jerrard. As in Euclidean case, the position of the vortices is ruled by the so-called renormalized energy. In this paper we are interested in the dynamics of vortices. We rigorously prove that the vortices move according to the gradient flow of the renormalized energy, which is the limit behavior when $varepsilonto 0$ of the gradient flow of the Ginzburg-Landau energy.
Assume M is a 3-dimensional real manifold without boundary, A is an abelian Lie algebra of analytic vector fields on M, and X is an element of A. The following result is proved: If K is a locally maximal compact set of zeroes of X and the Poincare-Hopf index of X at K is nonzero, there is a point in K at which all the elements of A vanish.
