‟Generalizing the Poincaré-Hopf index in the discrete case” by Nelson Schuback
Abstract:
In this talk, we will present a generalization of the Poincaré-Hopf index between trajectories of a non-singular flow on the plane to the discrete case. The main ingredient of the proof is to show that the space of pairs of positively-acessible points of a planar foliation forms a Serre fibration.
