Abstract

In this paper, we study volume-preserving great circle flows on the 3-sphere S<superscript>3</superscript>, and introduce a moduli space for these, consisting of distance-decreasing holomorphic maps from connected open subsets of S<superscript>2</superscript> to S<superscript>2</superscript>; one consequence is that the only volume-preserving great circle flows defined on the entire 3-sphere are those tangent to Hopf fibrations.
