 Posted Sep 14, 2006 by toybox - 713705 searching future Why will there be two special points and not just one?
For instance, take a plane and some constant vector field, then fold the plane into a punctured sphere and extend the vector field to the whole sphere by 0 on the puncture. Why doesn't this construction work?

 Posted Jul 16, 2007 by Gnomon [See A60420098 for details of new sign-in system] You're right. I've removed the reference to the second point.
Sorry it took me so long to get around to this.
