contents The (negative) gradient vector fields of Morse functions on a compact manifold provide an important example in dynamical system. In this note we prove two important properties of this kind of vector field: Connectedness of critical points through orbits and exponential shrinkage of the flow on stable submanifolds. We also find applications in showing some vanishing results of maps or curvature operators.
