Abstract: | We analyze the dynamics of diffeomorphisms in terms of their suspension flows. For many Axion A diffeomorphisms we find simplest
representatives in their flow equivalence class and so reduce flow equivalence to conjugacy. The zeta functions of maps in
a flow equivalence class are correlated with a zeta function ζ
H
for their suspended flow. This zeta function is defined for any flow with only finitely many closed orbits in each homology
class, and is proven rational for Axiom A flows. The flow equivalence of Anosov diffeomorphisms is used to relate the spectrum
of the induced map on first homology to the existence of fixed points. For Morse-Smale maps, we extend a result of Asimov
on the geometric index.
