We study the displacement map associated to small one-parameter polynomial unfoldings of polynomial Hamiltonian vector fields on the plane. Its leading term, the generating function $M(t)$, has an analytic continuation in the complex plane…

We give essentially unique ``normal forms'' for germs of a holomorphic vector field of the complex plane in the neighborhood of an isolated singularity which is a p:q resonant-saddle. Hence each vector field of that type is conjugate, by a…

For a non-vanishing gradient-like vector field on a compact manifold $X^{n+1}$ with boundary, a discrete set of trajectories may be tangent to the boundary with reduced multiplicity $n$, which is the maximum possible. (Among them are…

Given a compact complex manifold $X$, we prove a Baum-Bott type formula for one-dimensional holomorphic foliations on $X$ that are logarithmic along a hypersurface with isolated singularities. We show that the residues of these foliations…

We study the number of limit cycles that a planar polynomial vector field can have as a function of its number $m$ of monomials. We prove that the number of limit cycles increases at least quadratically with $m$ and we provide good lower…

We study holomorphic vector fields on isolated hypersurface singularities and derive global obstructions to the existence of holomorphic vector fields on compact singular varieties. For a hypersurface germ $(V,0)$ with an isolated…

Let F be a codimension one singular holomorphic foliation on a compact complex manifold M. Assume that there exists a meromorphic vector field X on M generically transversal to F. Then, we prove that F is the meromorphic pull-back of an…

We study the problem of characterizing polynomial vector fields that commute with a given polynomial vector field on a plane. It is a classical result that one can write down solution formulas for an ODE that corresponds to a planar vector…

For isolated complex hypersurface singularities with real defining equation we show the existence of a monodromy vector field such that complex conjugation intertwines the local monodromy diffeomorphism with its inverse. In particular, it…

We study the monoid of so called projection functors $\p{S}$ attached to simple modules $S$ of a finite dimensional algebra, which appear naturally in the study of torsion pairs. We determine defining relations in special cases of path…

In this paper we address the following questions: (i) Let $C\subset \mathbb C^2$ be an orbit of a polynomial vector field which has finite total Gaussian curvature. Is $C$ contained in an algebraic curve? (ii) What can be said of a…

We discuss criteria for the nonexistence, existence and computation of invariant algebraic surfaces for three-dimensional complex polynomial vector fields, thus transferring a classical problem of Poincar\'e from dimension two to dimension…

We propose a study of the foliations of the projective plane induced by simple derivations of the polynomial ring in two indeterminates over the complex field. These correspond to foliations which have no invariant algebraic curve nor…
