A difficult classical problem in the qualitative theory of differential systems in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ is the center-focus problem, i.e. to distinguish between a focus and a center. Another difficult problem is to distinguish inside a…

Let $\Sigma(f)$ be critical points of a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{K}[x,y]$ in the plane $\mathbb{K}^2$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. Our goal is to study the critical point map $\mathfrak{S}_d$, by sending polynomials…

A center of a differential system in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ is an equilibrium point $p$ having a neighborhood $U$ such that $U\setminus \{p\}$ is filled of periodic orbits. A center $p$ is global when $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus \{p\}$ is…
