Abstract

The paper contains the classification up to conjugation in the categoryC k,k=1,...,∞, of complete nondegenerate divergence-free vector fieldson a compact surface (possibly with boundary) almost all of whose trajectories are closed. The classification up to conjugation in given for arbitrary nondegenerate divergence-free vector fields on the surfacesS 2,\(\mathbb{R}P^2 \),K 2,T 2,\(K^2 \# \mathbb{R}P^2 \), possibly with holes.
