  • We establish that $C^\infty$ three-dimensional flows with positive topological entropy admit only finitely many ergodic measures of maximal entropy, even when singularities (zero-velocity points) are present. Furthermore, every ergodic measure of maximal entropy is rapid mixing for such flows within a $C^\infty$ open and dense subset. To prove this, we develop a novel symbolic coding system for flows with singularities, which serves as a fundamental tool in this work. We also define the strong positive recurrence (SPR) property for singular flows and verify that SPR flows can be coded by suspension flows of SPR symbolic systems. This framework extends to other singular flows, including star flows, and to equilibrium states.
