It is known after Jouanolou that a general holomorphic foliation of degree $\geq2$ in projective space has no algebraic leaf. We give formulas for the degrees of the subvarieties of the parameter space of one-dimensional foliations that…

We investigate the interplay between invariant varieties of vector fields and the inflection locus of linear systems with respect to the vector field. Among the consequences of such investigation we obtain a computational criteria for the…

We introduce new polynomial isotopy invariants for closed braids. They are constructed as polynomial valued {\em Gauss diagram 1-cocycles} evaluated on the full rotation of the closed braid $\hat \beta$ around the core of the corresponding…

The number of non-isomorphic cubic fields L sharing a common discriminant d(L) = d is called the multiplicity m = m(d) of d. For an assigned value of d, these fields are collected in a multiplet M(d) = (L(1) ,..., L(m)). In this paper, the…

The paper studies the generic complex 1-dimensional polynomial vector fields of the form $iP(z)\frac{\partial}{\partial z}$, where $P$ is a polynomial with real coefficients, under topological orbital equivalence preserving the separatrices…

The L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture states that the image of a multilinear noncommutative polynomial $f$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ is a vector space for every $n \in {\mathbb N}$. We prove this conjecture for the case where $f$ has degree…

Given a geometric structure on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $n$ even (e.g. Euclidean, symplectic, Minkowski, pseudo-Euclidean), we analyze the set of points inside the domain of definition of an arbitrary given $\mathcal{C}^1$ vector field, where…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. Let H be a subgroup of GL(n,k). We are interested in the determination of the vector invariants of H. When the characteristic of k is 0, it is known that the invariants of d…

We present a general construction of divergence-free knotted vector fields from complex scalar fields, whose closed field lines encode many kinds of knots and links, including torus knots, their cables, the figure-8 knot and its…

We employ an isometry group invariants approach to study Killing tensors of valence three defined in the Euclidean plane. The corresponding invariants are found to be homogeneous polynomials of the parameters of the vector space of the…

In this paper we deal with the existence of periodic orbits of geodesible vector fields on closed 3-manifolds. A vector field is geodesible if there exists a Riemannian metric on the ambient manifold making its orbits geodesics. In…

We study continuous groups of generalized Kerr-Schild transformations and the vector fields that generate them in any n-dimensional manifold with a Lorentzian metric. We prove that all these vector fields can be intrinsically characterized…
