This paper is about flow–orbit equivalence, a topological analog of even Kakutani equivalence. In addition to establishing many basic facts about this relation, we characterize the conjugacies of induced systems that can be extended to a flow–orbit equivalence. We also describe the relationship between flow–orbit equivalence and a distortion function of an orbit equivalence. We show that, if the distortion of an orbit equivalence is zero, then it is in fact a flow–orbit equivalence, and that the converse is true up to a conjugation by an element of the full group.
