A modulus of 3-dimensional vector fields

Abstract: Abstract. In this paper, we prove that /i/A is a modulus for a Silnikov system with eigenvalues A and -fi ± ia>. To prove this we define a number using knot and link invariants of periodic orbits, which is related to the ratio of eigenvalues /i/A.

“…The saddle quantity, whether larger than one or not, is always a topological invariant of saddle-focus homoclinic orbits [21,67,116,395]. The proof of Togawa [395] uses link types of period orbits for saddle quantities smaller than one. Dufraine [116] proved that the absolute value of Im ν s is also a modulus.…”

“…Regarding the construction of invariants under conjugacy for homoclinic cycles of a vector field, we refer the reader to [21], where Togawa analyzes a homoclinic cycle of a saddle-focus and shows, using a knot-like argument, that the saddle-index is a conjugacy invariant; to the paper [1], where Arnold et al prove that the saddle-index is in fact an invariant under topological equivalence; and to the work [7] whose author, in the same setting, describes a new invariant under conjugacy given by the absolute value of the imaginary part of the complex eigenvalues of the saddle-focus. The search for a complete set of invariants for more general homoclinic cycles associated to either a saddle-focus or a periodic solution is still an open problem.…”
