Abstract
In this paper we give a description of the sets of accumulation of secants for orbits of real analytic vector fields in dimension three with the origin as only ω-limit point. It is an infinitesimal version of the Poincaré-Bendixson problem in dimension three. These sets have structure of cyclic graph when the singularities are isolated under one blow-up. If the reduction of singularities is hyperbolic, under conditions of Morse-Smale type, we prove that the accumulation set is a single point or homeomorphic to \({\mathbb{S}}^{1}\).
