We show that every Cherry flow admits a unique physical measure, whose basin has full volume. This proves a conjecture given by R. Saghin and E. Vargas in~\\cite{SV}. We also show that the perturbation of Cherry flow depends on the divergence at the saddle: when the divergence is negative, this flow admits a neighborhood, such that any flow in this neighborhood belongs to the following three cases: (a) has a saddle connection; (b) a Cherry flow; (c) a Morse-Smale flow whose non-wandering set consists two singularities and one periodic sink. In contrary, when the divergence is non-negative, this flow can be approximated by non-hyperbolic flow with arbitrarily larger number of periodic sinks.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-02-22T05:17:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A99", "37D25", "37E35" ], "keywords": [ "perturbation theory", "periodic sink", "cherry flow admits", "cherry flow depends", "divergence" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150206179Y" } } }
