Abstract

Let f:R2Rf:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R} be a real homogeneous polynomial and S(f)S(f) be the group of diffeomorphisms h:R2R2h:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2 preserving ff, i.e. fh=ff \circ h = f. Denote by S(f,r)S(f,r), (0r)(0\leq r \leq \infty), the identity path component of S(f)S(f) with respect to the weak Whitney CWrC^{r}_{W}-topology. We prove that S(f,)==S(f,1)S(f,\infty) = \cdots = S(f,1) for all such ff and that S(f,1)S(f,0)S(f,1) \not= S(f,0) if and only if ff is a product of at least two distinct irreducible over R\mathbb{R} quadratic forms.

22 pages, 6 figures. In the previous version only polynomials without multiple factors were considered. Now the result is proved for all homogeneous polynomials. Moreover some proofs are rewritten with more details
