Abstract
Consider some non-zero complex numbers with and the associated classical Lotka-Volterra systems We show that as long as for all and for , any tuples of pairwise distinct, non-degenerate solutions of these systems are algebraically independent over , meaning . Our proof relies on extending recent work of Duan and Nagloo by showing strong minimality of these systems, as long as . We also generalize a theorem of Brestovski which allows us to control algebraic relations using invariant volume forms. Finally, we completely classify all invariant algebraic curves in the non-strongly minimal, case by using machinery from geometric stability theory.
