Abstract
We prove that every trajectory of a polynomial vector field on the complex projective plane accumulates to the singular locus of the vector field. This statement represents a holomorphic version of the Poincare-Bendixson theorem and solves the complex analytic counterpart of Hilbert's 16th problem. The main result can be also reformulated as the nonexistence of "exceptional minimals" of holomorphic foliations on and, in particular, implies the nonexistence of real analytic Levi flat hypersurfaces in the complex projective plane. Finally, we describe (in the first approximation) the way a minimal complex trajectory approaches the singular locus of the vector field.
