The problem of classifying dynamical systems (flows) with global cross-sections in terms of the associated diffeomorphisms of the crosssections is considered. Suppose that, for i = 1,2, ty is a C flow (r > 0) on the Cr manifold M¡ that admits a global cross-section 5, Q M¡ with associated diffeomorphism ('first return map') d¡. If rank (HX(MX ;Z)) = 1, then (Mx,<j)X) is Cs equivalent (s < r) to...
