The main objective of this article is to classify the structure of divergence-free vector fields on general two-dimensional compact manifold with or without boundaries. First we prove a Limit Set Theorem, Theorem 2.1, a generalized version of the Poincare-Bendixson to divergence-free vector fields on 2-manifolds of nonzero genus. Namely, the $\omega$ (or $\alpha$) limit set of a regular point of a regular divergence-free vector field is either a saddle point, or a closed orbit, or a…

we see that ao is a group of homeomorphisms under the usual composition of maps. We define a to be the group of homeomorphisms generated by To01 and K where K(z) -+ 1/2. Then C/$o and C/$ are the
