We define a laminar branched surface to be a branched surface satisfying the following conditions: (1) Its horizontal boundary is incompressible; (2) there is no monogon; (3) there is no Reeb component; (4) there is no sink disk (after eliminating trivial bubbles in the branched surface). The first three conditions are…

The Poincare-Hopf theorem tells us that given a smooth, structurally stable vector field on a surface of genus g, the number of saddles is 2-2g less than the number of sinks and sources. We generalize this result by introducing a more complex combinatorial invariant. Using this tool, we demonstrate that many such struc…
