Liouvillian integrability of three dimensional vector fields
Abstract
We consider a three dimensional complex polynomial, or rational, vector field (equivalently, a two-form in three variables) which admits a Liouvillian first integral. We prove that there exists a first integral whose differential is the product of a rational 1-form with a Darboux function, or there exists a Darboux Jacobi multiplier. Moreover, we prove that Liouvillian integrability {in any dimension } always implies the existence of a first integral that is obtained by two successive integrations from one-forms with coefficients in a finite algebraic extension of the rational function field.

Some proofs are unnecessarily long. The essential results are being transferred to a shorter paper (entitled "Liouvillian integrability of vector fields in higher dimensions"), which also contains more material
