We classify, up to a natural equivalence relation, vector fields of the plane which belong to the kernel of a 1--form. This form can be closed, in which case the vector fields are integrable, or not, in which case the differential of the…
An analytic classification of generic anti-polynomial vector fields $\dot z = \overline{P(z)}$ is given in term of a topological and an analytic invariants. The number of generic strata in the parameter space is counted for each degree of…
We prove that star-like limit cycles of any planar polynomial system can also be seen either as solutions defined on a given interval of a new associated planar non-autonomous polynomial system or as heteroclinic solutions of a…

We present a covariant formalism for studying nonlinear perturbations of scalar fields. In particular, we consider the case of two scalar fields and introduce the notion of adiabatic and isocurvature covectors. We obtain differential…
In this work we explicitly construct polynomial vector fields $\mathcal{L}_k,\;k=0,1,2,3,4,6$ on the complex linear space $\mathbb{C}^6$ with coordinates $X=(x_2,x_3,x_4)$ and $Z=(z_4,z_5,z_6)$. The fields $\mathcal{L}_k$ are linearly…
Answering a question of Frank Calegari, we extend some of our earlier results on dimension of fixed point spaces of elements in irreducible linear groups. We consider characteristic polynomials rather than just fixed spaces.
We determine a precise necessary and sufficient condition for completeness of the Hamiltonian vector field associated to a homogeneous cubic polynomial on a symplectic plane.
We study the evolution of nonlinear superhorizon perturbations in a universe dominated by a complex scalar field. The analysis is performed adopting the gradient expansion approach, in the constant mean curvature slicing. We derive general…
The asymptotic behaviour of a class of inhomogeneous scalar field cosmologies with a Liouville type of potential is studied. We define a set of new variables for which the phase space of the system of Einstein equations is bounded. This…
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over a finite field $\bF_q$, homogeneous under a linear algebraic group. We show that the number of rational points of $X$ over $\bF_{q^n}$ is a periodic polynomial function of $q^n$ with integer…
