Abstract

Up to topological equivalence, a continuous flow in a surface is determined by its separatrix configuration. This claim is widely known as Markus-Neumann theorem, but it is false with the definition of separatrix originally considered. Recently, Esp & iacute;n Buend & iacute;a and Jim & eacute;nez L & oacute;pez delivered counterexamples and proposed an updated definition of separatrix in order that the claim becomes true. The main objective of this paper is to provide a detailed and self-contained proof of Markus-Neumann theorem taking into account this new definition of separatrices, with a slight generalization.
