In [Xiang Zhang, The embedding flows of $C^{\infty}$ hyperbolic diffeomorphisms, J. Differential Equations 250 (2011), no. 5, 2283-2298] Zhang proved that any local smooth hyperbolic diffeomorphism whose eigenvalues are weakly nonresonant is embedded in the flow of a smooth vector field. We present a new, simpler and more conceptual proof of such result using the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition in algebraic groups and the properties of the exponential operator. We characterize the hyperbolic smooth (resp. formal) diffeomorphisms that are embedded in a smooth (resp. formal) flow. We introduce a criterium showing that the presence of weak resonances for a diffeomorphism plus two natural conditions imply that it is not embeddable. This solves a conjecture of Zhang. The criterium is optimal, we provide a method to construct embeddable diffeomorphisms with weak resonances if we remove any of the conditions.
