Quadratic perturbations of a quadratic reversible center of genus one

In this paper, we study a reversible and non-Hamitonian system with a period annulus bounded by a hemicycle in the Poincaré disk. It is proved that the cyclicity of the period annulus under quadratic perturbations is equal to two. This verifies some results of the conjecture given by Gautier et al.     

Quadratic perturbations of a class of quadratic reversible center of genus one

Cyclicity of planar homoclinic loops and quadratic integrable systems

A general method for a homoclinic loop of planar Hamiltonian systems to bifurcate two or three limit cycles under perturbations is established. Certain conditions are given under which the cyclicity of a homoclinic loop equals 1 or 2. As an application to quadratic systems, it is proved that the cyclicity of homoclinic loops of quadratic integrable and non-Hamiltonian systems equals 2 except for one case.

In this paper, we investigate a class of quadratic reversible Lotka-Volterra system of genus one with b=3/5.

Moreover, we prove that the period function of its period trajectories is monotone increasing.     

On the period function of planar systems with unknown normalizers

A necessary and sufficient condition for the period function's monotonicity on a period annulus is given. The approach is based on the theory of normalizers, but is applicable without actually knowing a normalizer. Some applications to polynomial and Hamiltonian systems are presented.

Upper bounds for the associated number of zeros of Abelian integrals for two classes of quadratic reversible centers of genus one

In this paper, by using the method of Picard-Fuchs equation and Riccati equation, we study the upper bounds for the associated number of zeros of Abelian integrals for two classes of quadratic reversible centers of genus one under any polynomial perturbations of degree $n$, and obtain that their upper bounds are $3n-3$ ($n\geq 2$) and $18\left[\frac{n}{2}\right]+3\left[\frac{n-1}{2}\right]$ ($n\geq 4$) respectively, both of the two upper bounds linearly depend on $n$.     

A linear estimation to the number of zeros for Abelian integrals in a kind of quadratic reversible centers of genus one

In this paper, using the method of Picard-Fuchs equation and Riccati equation, we consider the number of zeros for Abelian integrals in a kind of quadratic reversible centers of genus one under arbitrary polynomial perturbations of degree $n$, and obtain that the upper bound of the number is $2\left[{(n+1)}/{2}\right]+$ $\left[{n}/{2}\right]+2$ ($n\geq 1$), which linearly depends on $n$.     

The cyclicity of the elliptic segment loops of the reversible quadratic Hamiltonian systems under quadratic perturbations

Denote by Q^H and Q^R the Hamiltonian class and reversible class of quadratic integrable systems. There are several topological types for systems belong to Q^H∩Q^R. One of them is the case that the corresponding system has two heteroclinic loops, sharing one saddle-connection, which is a line segment, and the other part of the loops is an ellipse. In this paper we prove that the maximal number of limit cycles, which bifurcate from the loops with respect to quadratic perturbations in a conic neighborhood of the direction transversal to reversible systems (called in reversible direction), is two. We also give the corresponding bifurcation diagram.     

Cyclicity of CM elliptic curves modulo

Let be an elliptic curve defined over and with complex multiplication. For a prime of good reduction, let be the reduction of modulo We find the density of the primes for which is a cyclic group. An asymptotic formula for these primes had been obtained conditionally by J.-P. Serre in 1976, and unconditionally by Ram Murty in 1979. The aim of this paper is to give a new simpler unconditional proof of this asymptotic formula and also to provide explicit error terms in the formula.

     

Models of some genus one curves with applications to descent

Let p denote a prime, and K a field of characteristic prime to p and containing the pth roots of unity. For p equal to 3 and 5, the author finds a scheme T_p and a family of genus one curves over T_p such that any genus one curve defined over the field K of index p whose Jacobian elliptic curve E has is isomorphic to a curve lying over a K-point of T_p. The author then relates the explicit presentation of such families to the program of descent on elliptic curves.     

Boundedness of solutions for sublinear reversible systems

where and satisfies the sublinear growth condition. Since the system in general is non-Hamiltonian, we have to introduce reversibility assumptions to apply the twist theorem for reversible mappings. Under some suitable conditions we then obtain the existence of invariant tori and thus the boundedness of all solutions.
