Abstract

By considering all possible reparametrizations of the flows instead of the time- $1$ maps, we introduce Bowen topological entropy and local entropy on subsets for flows. Through handling techniques for reparametrization balls, we prove a covering lemma for fixed-point free flows and then prove a variational principle.
