Abstract
In this paper we find conditions which guarantee that a given flow Φ on a compact metric space X admits a Lyapunov 1-form ω lying in a prescribed Čech cohomology class ξ ∼ Ȟ⊥(X; ℝ). These conditions are formulated in terms of the restriction of ξ to the chain recurrent set of Φ. The result of the paper may be viewed as a generalization of a well-known theorem by Conley about the existence of Lyapunov functions.
