Abstract

In this paper, we characterize all polynomial Kolmogorov vector fields for which the standard nn-sphere is invariant. We exhibit completely integrable Kolmogorov vector fields of degree mm on Sn\mathbb{S}^n for any m>2m >2. Then, we show that there is no cubic Hamiltonian Kolmogorov vector field that makes an odd-dimensional sphere invariant. We examine the conditions under which a cubic Kolmogorov vector field has a Darboux first integral. In many cases, we determine whether they constitute necessary and sufficient conditions. Moreover, we study the complete integrability of cubic Kolmogorov vector fields having an invariant nn-sphere.
