As shown in a previous paper, whenever a rational vector field on $\mathbb C^n$, $n>2$, is Liouvillian integrable, then it admits a first integral obtained by two successive integrations from a one-form with coefficients in a finite…

Prelle and Singer showed in 1983 that if a system of ordinary differential equations defined on a differential field $K$ has a first integral in an elementrary field extension $L$ of $K$, then it must have a first integral consisting of…

We consider complex rational vector fields in dimension $n>2$ (equivalently, differential forms of degree $n-1$ in $n$ variables) which admit a Liouvillian first integral. Extending a classical result by Singer for $n=2$, our main result…

The Prelle-Singer method allows determining an elementary first integral admitted by a polynomial vector field in the plane. It is a semi-algorithm whose nonlinear step consists of determining the Darboux polynomials of the vector field. In…

We consider a three dimensional complex polynomial, or rational, vector field (equivalently, a two-form in three variables) which admits a Liouvillian first integral. We prove that there exists a first integral whose differential is the…

We study algebraic integrability of complex planar polynomial vector fields $X=A (x,y)(\partial/\partial x) + B(x,y) (\partial/\partial y) $ through extensions to Hirzebruch surfaces. Using these extensions, each vector field $X$ determines…

We prove a sufficient condition for the existence of explicit first integrals for vector fields which admit an integrating factor. This theorem recovers and extends previous results in the literature on the integrability of vector fields…

Darboux's theorem and Jouanolou's theorem deal with the existence of first integrals and rational first integrals of a polynomial vector field. These results are given in terms of the degree of the polynomial vector field. Here we show that…

We study the class of planar polynomial vector fields admitting Darboux first integrals of the type $\prod_{i=1}^r f_i^{\alpha_i}$, where the $\alpha_i$'s are positive real numbers and the $f_i$'s are polynomials defining curves with only…

In this paper we study elementary extensions of differential fields in prime characteristic. In particular, we show that, in contrast to Liouville's result in characteristic zero, all elements of an elementary extension admit an…

Consider a planar polynomial vector field $X$, and assume it admits a symbolic first integral $\mathcal{F}$, i.e. of the $4$ classes, in growing complexity: Rational, Darbouxian, Liouvillian and Riccati. If $\mathcal{F}$ is not rational, it…

A rational vector field on a complex projective smooth surface $S$ is said to be birationally integrable if it generates, by integration, a one-parameter subgroup of the group $\operatorname{Bir}(S)$ of birational transformations of $S$. We…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a foliation defined on a complex projective manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ and admitting a holomorphic vector field $X$ tangent to it along some non-empty Zariski-open set. In this paper we prove that if $X$ has…

We state some generalizations of a theorem due to G. Darboux, which originally states that a polynomial vector field in the complex plane exhibits a rational first integral and has all its orbits algebraic provided that it exhibits…

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 extend the theorem of Liouville on integration in finite terms to include dilogarithmic integrals. The results provide a necessary and sufficient condition for an element of the base field to have an antiderivative in a field extension…

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…

We extend results of Videla and Fukuzaki to define algebraic integers in large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of Q and use these definitions for some of the fields to show the first-order undecidability. We also obtain a…

The purpose of this article is to develop an algebraic approach to the problem of integrable classification of differential-difference equations with one continuous and two discrete variables. As a classification criterion, we put forward…

Singular complex analytic vector fields on the Riemann surfaces enjoy several geometric properties (singular means that poles and essential singularities are admissible). We describe relations between singular complex analytic vector fields…
