Abstract

In this article, we study transitive flows on manifolds or on manifold-like phase spaces. These are flows in which at least one orbit is dense. By quantifying the nature of the set of dense orbits, a variety of transitivity types is obtained. We explore conditions under which products or ‘scaled’ products of transitive flows are again transitive. We also investigate a connection between transitivity and topologically strong mixing.
