Your comment/answer must have come while I was in China and not easily able to respond to MO. Also, when you respond by adding an 'answer', I don't get notified that there has been a response to my answer, so I didn't notice your 'answer' until I looked at this question again by chance. At any rate, I'm not sure that I understand your question. By the 'flow of a vector field $X$' being 'geodesic for some metric $g$, do you mean that the flow lines of $X$ are geodesics of $g$? If so, such a vector field cannot have zeros. | |

I see you this was written, though, with a different user as the one you sed to ask the question. If you need to have the two users merges, you should ask the moderators to do this for you on tea.mathoverflow.net | |
