In global analysis, one considers a smooth manifold $M^n$ and a differential equation $\\xi: M \\to TM$ on $M$ and studies the flow $\\Phi_t: M \\times \\mathbb{R} \\to M$ of the differential equation. In this paper, we consider a necessary and sufficient condition for a self-diffeomorphism $f$ of a manifold $M$ to be the time-1 map $\\Phi_1$ of the flow of a differential equation on $M$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2022-04-08T19:37:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37C10", "37C05", "58-01" ], "keywords": [ "differential equation", "sufficient condition", "smooth manifold", "self-diffeomorphism", "self-maps properties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
