integral curve starting at a zero of a vector field












0












$begingroup$


This is a question from Loring Tu's book "Introduction to manifolds" (Page-161 14.6(b))



Show that if X is the zero vector field on a manifold M, and ct(p) is the maximal integral curve of X starting at p, then the one-parameter group of diffeomorphisms c:R->Diff(M) is the constant map c(t)=1M.



From the previous part of this question I know that if X is a smooth vector field on a manifold M that vanishes at a point p in M then the integral curve of X with initial point p is the constant curve c(t)=p.



I am stuck and really don't know how to proceed.Thanks.

    Aren't you almost done already? Since $X$ vanishes at every point, every integral curve is just a constant curve. So no point moves, which is just what the identity map does.

You are basically done, because $c_p(t) = p = mathrm{id}(p)$, so $c(t)$ is the identity in $textrm{Diff}(M)$.

    Actually all i know is that one-parameter group of diffeomorphisms is a homomorphism c:R->Diff(M). This is all that this book says about it. But i think you have related it to the integral cures. How to do that?
