Instability of equilibria in dimension three
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 48 (1998) no. 5, pp. 1345-1357.

In this paper we show that if v is an analytic vector field on 3 having an isolated singular point at 0, then there exists a trajectory of v which converges to 0 in the past or in the future. The proof is based on certain results concerning desingularizaton of vector fields in dimension three and on index-type arguments à la Poincaré-Hopf.

Dans cet article on démontre que si v est un champ de vecteurs analytique sur 3 ayant une singularité isolée en 0, alors il existe une trajectoire de v qui tend vers 0 dans le passé ou dans le futur. La preuve repose sur certains résultats concernant la désingularisation des champs de vecteurs en dimension trois et sur des arguments d’indice à la Poincaré-Hopf.
