We prove that to each real singularity $f: (\mathbb{R}^{n+1}, 0) \to (\mathbb{R}, 0)$ one can associate two systems of differential equations $\mathfrak{g}^{k\pm}_f$ which are pushforwards in the category of $\mathcal{D}$-modules over…

We provide an upper bound for the number of limit cycles that planar polynomial differential systems of a given degree may have. The bound turns out to be a polynomial of degree four in the degree of the system. The strategy brings together…

Starting from a Pfaffian equation in dimension $N$ and focusing on compact solutions for it, we place in perspective the variational method used in [29] to solve Hilbert's 16th problem. In addition to exploring how this viewpoint can help…

Let $(f, g)$ be a pair of complex analytic functions on a singular analytic space $X$. We give ``the correct'' definition of the relative polar curve of $(f, g)$, and we give a very formal generalization of L\^e's attaching result, which…

The paper considers the Hilbert space $\hat{H}_r$ of real functions summable with the square $L^2(a,b)_r$ on any interval $\{(a,b)_r\}_{r=1}^{\infty}\in \mathbb{R}$. It is shown on the basis of the theorem on zeros of real orthogonal…

We study completely integrable systems attached to Takiff algebras $\mathfrak{g}_N$, extending open Toda systems of split simple Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$. With respect to Darboux coordinates on coadjoint orbits $\mathcal{O}$, the…

The algebraic form of Hilbert's 13th Problem asks for the resolvent degree $\text{rd}(n)$ of the general polynomial $f(x) = x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + a_n$ of degree $n$, where $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ are independent variables. The resolvent…

These highly informal lecture notes aim at introducing and explaining several closely related problems on zeros of analytic functions defined by ordinary differential equations and systems of such equations. The main incentive for this…

The second part of the Hilbert's sixteenth problem consists in determining the upper bound $\mathcal{H}(n)$ for the number of limit cycles that planar polynomial vector fields of degree $n$ can have. For $n\geq2$, it is still unknown…
