Limit cycles in piecewise smooth systems with circular switching manifold

We study limit cycles in piecewise complex systems with switching manifold $\mathbb{S}^1$. Using M\"obius transformations we establish an equivalence between circular and straight-line discontinuities that preserves periods, stability, and algebraic structure. For piecewise polynomial holomorphic systems we obtain lower bounds on the number of limit cycles via second-order averaging and, for low degrees, via Lyapunov quantities. For piecewise antiholomorphic systems we prove upper bounds: at most $3$ limit cycles in the linear case and $10$ in the quadratic case. We also prove a rigidity theorem: when both components admit classical holomorphic normal forms at the origin no crossing limit cycles exist. Finally, we construct explicit algebraic limit cycles in the circular context, providing, as far as we know the first such examples in the literature.
