In this paper, we classify all polynomial vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of degree up to three such that their flow makes the torus $$\mathbb{T}^2=\{(x,y,z)\in \mathbb{R}^3:(x^2+y^2-a^2)^2+z^2-1=0\}~\mbox{with}~a\in (1,\infty)$$ invariant.…

In this paper, we consider the following two algebraic hypersurfaces $$S^1\times S^2=\{(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)\in \mathbb{R}^4:(x_1^2+x_2^2-a^2)^2 + x_3^2 + x_4^2 -1=0;~ a>1\}$$ and $$S^2\times S^1=\{(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)\in…
In this paper, we characterize arbitrary polynomial vector fields on $S^n$. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a degree one vector field on the odd-dimensional sphere $S^{2n-1}$ to be Hamiltonian. Additionally, we…
In this work we revisit and extend the method introduced by Lins Neto, Sad and Sc\'{a}rdua for detecting the non-existence of invariant algebraic curves other than some prescribed invariant nodal curve. We prove that, under the existence of…
In the paper, we first give the least upper bound formula on the number of centers of planar real polynomial Hamiltonian vector fields. This formula reveals that the greater the number of invariant straight lines of the vector field and the…
First we characterize all the polynomial vector fields in $\R^4$ which have the Clifford torus as an invariant surface. After we study the number of invariant meridians and parallels that such polynomial vector fields can have in function…
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 construct a polynomial planar vector field of degree two with one invariant algebraic curves of large degree. We exhibit an explicit quadratic vector fields which invariant curves of degree nine, twelve, fifteen and eighteen degree.
Cubic complexes appear in the theory of finite type invariants so often that one can ascribe them to basic notions of the theory. In this paper we begin the exposition of finite type invariants from the `cubic' point of view. Finite type…
Let X be a homogeneous polynomial vector field of degree 2 on S^2. We show that if X has at least a non--hyperbolic singularity, then it has no limit cycles. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for determining if a singularity of X…
A large class of real $3$-dimensional nilpotent polynomial vector fields of arbitrary degree is considered. The aim of this work is to present general properties of the discrete and continuous dynamical systems induced by these vector…
A relationship between real, complex, and quaternionic vector fields on spheres is given by using a relationship between the corresponding standard inner products. The number of linearly independent complex vector fields on the standard…
We give an interpretation of the maximal number of linearly independent vector fields on spheres in terms of the Spin(9) representation on R^16. This casts an insight on the role of Spin(9) as a subgroup of SO(16) on the existence of vector…
This paper is devoted to the problem of classification, up to smooth isomorphisms or up to orbital equivalence, of smooth integrable vector fields on 2-dimensional surfaces, under some nondegeneracy conditions. The main continuous…
We study bifurcations in finite-parameter families of vector fields on $S^2$. Recent papers by Yu. Ilyashenko, N. Goncharuk, Yu. Kudryashov, I. Schurov, and N. Solodovnikov provide examples of (locally generic) structurally unstable…
Consider a general $3$-dimensional Lotka-Volterra system with a rational first integral of degree two of the form $H=x^i y^j z^k$. The restriction of this Lotka-Volterra system to each surface $H(x,y,z)=h$ varying $h\in \mathbb{R}$ provide…
A proof is given of the vector identity proposed by Gubarev, Stodolsky and Zakarov that relates the volume integral of the square of a 3-vector field to non-local integrals of the curl and divergence of the field. The identity is applied to…
This is a complete study of the dynamics of polynomial planar vector fields whose linear part is a multiple of the identity and whose nonlinear part is a contracting homogeneous polynomial. The contracting nonlinearity provides the…
