Abstract

This article deals with the problem of what suspended subshifts of finite type can be realized as a basic set of a nonsingular Smale flow on three-dimensional manifolds. It is shown that any suspended subshift can be realized in such a flow on some three-manifold. Also if signs reflecting orientation are included in the matrix of the subshift of finite type then there is an obstruction to the realization on 53 of basic sets corresponding to some matrices.
