Abstract

Let ξ\xi be a real analytic vector field with an elementary isolated singularity at 0R30\in \mathbb{R}^3 and eigenvalues ±bi,c\pm bi,c with b,cRb,c\in \mathbb{R} and b0b\neq 0. We prove that all cycles of ξ\xi in a sufficiently small neighborhood of 00, if they exist, are contained in a finite number of subanalytic invariant surfaces entirely composed by a continuum of cycles. In particular, we solve Dulac's problem, i.e. finiteness of limit cycles, for such vector fields.
