Anti-classification for flows on two-tori

We prove that the classification of real-analytic vector fields on the two-torus up to orbital topological equivalence does not admit a complete numerical invariant that is a Borel function. Moreover, smooth vector fields that are difficult to classify appear in generic smooth 7-parameter families. In dimension 2, this improves the recent result of Gorodetski and Foreman (arXiv:2206.09322) for non-classifiability of smooth diffeomorphisms up to continuous conjugacy.

Abstract

We prove that the classification of real-analytic vector fields on the two-torus up to orbital topological equivalence does not admit a complete numerical invariant that is a Borel function. Moreover, smooth vector fields that are difficult to classify appear in generic smooth 7-parameter families. In dimension 2, this improves the recent result of Gorodetski and Foreman (arXiv:2206.09322) for non-classifiability of smooth diffeomorphisms up to continuous conjugacy.
