Abstract
As shown in a previous paper, whenever a rational vector field on , , is Liouvillian integrable, then it admits a first integral obtained by two successive integrations from a one-form with coefficients in a finite algebraic extension of the rational function field . In the present work we discuss and characterize exceptional vector fields in this class, for which -- by definition -- the choice is not possible. In particular we show that exceptional vector field exist, giving explicit constructions in dimension three.
