Abstract

We consider smooth, nonvanishing complex (not essentially real) vector fields L =X + i Y that satisfy the Nirenberg-Treves condition (P) and are allowed to possess some closed one-dimensional orbits in the sense of Sussmann that we call clean orbits. Concerning global solvability, we deal with two different cases -depending on whether the surface is compact or not- and prove two positive results which extend and unify several known results on the subject.In our positive results, it is assumed that X perpendicular to Y vanishes of order greater than 1 on all closed one-orbits, on the other hand, we prove that global solvability cannot hold if there exists at least one closed one-orbit on which X perpendicular to Y vanishes of order 1.We also give a characterization of globally hypoelliptic complex vector fields L in terms of the topo-logical type of the equivalence classes determined by a standard equivalence relation defined on the set of non elliptic points of L. Some of the consequences are that globally hypoelliptic vector fields are globally solvable and that if a surface M carries a globally hypoelliptic vector field, it must be parallelizable.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
