Abstract

In the first part we present properties of irrotational vector fields and in the second part properties of arbitrary vector fields, all arising from the study of the energy associated to the vector field. The results relate to critical points and extrema of the energy, the Riemannian structure on the manifold, the behaviour of the energy along orbits of the field and the type of these orbits.
