On the existence of stable compact leaves for transversely holomorphic foliations

We prove that a transversely holomorphic foliation on a compact manifold exhibits some compact leaf with finite holonomy group, provided that the set of compact leaves is not a zero measure set. A similar result is stated for groups of complex diffeomorphisms and periodic orbits.     

Semi-complete foliations associated to Hamiltonian vector fields in dimension 2

We classify the foliations associated to Hamiltonian vector fields on C², with an isolated singularity, admitting a semi-complete representative. In particular we also classify semi-complete foliations associated to the differential equation .     

Kodaira dimension of holomorphic singular foliations

We introduce numerical invariants of holomorphic singular foliations under bimeromorphic transformations of surfaces. The basic invariant is a foliated version of the Kodaira dimension of compact complex manifolds.The author was supported by CNPq-Brazil in 1998 and Conseil Régional de Bourgogne in 1999.     

A general approach to index theorems for holomorphic maps and foliations

Let M be a smooth complex manifold, and S(⊂ M) be a compact irreducible subvariety with dim _C S > 0. Let be given either a holomorphic map f : M → M with f _|S  = id _S , f ≠ id _M , or a holomorphic foliation on M: we describe an approach that can be applied to both map and foliation in order to obtain index theorems.

Rigidity of certain holomorphic foliations

There is a well-known rigidity theorem of Y. Ilyashenko for (singular) holomorphic foliations in and also the extension given by Gómez-Mont and Ortíz-Bobadilla (1989). Here we present a different generalization of the result of Ilyashenko: some cohomological and (generic) dynamical conditions on a foliation on a fibred complex surface imply the d-rigidity of , i.e. any topologically trivial deformation of is also analytically trivial. We particularize this result to the case of ruled surfaces. In this context, the foliations not verifying the cohomological hypothesis above were completely classified in an earlier work by X. Gómez-Mont (1989). Hence we obtain a (generic) characterization of non-d-rigid foliations in ruled surfaces. We point out that the widest class of them are Riccati foliations.

     

Residues of higher order and holomorphic vector fields

LetX ₁ andX ₂ be two holomorphic vector fields on a manifoldV with complex dimensionp. Assume that they have the same singular set . For all , it is known (after Chern-Bott) that each of the vector fields defines a residual characteristic classC ₁(V,X ₁)(resp.C ₁(V,X ₂)) inH ^2p (V, V-), which is a lift of the usual characteristic classC ₁ (V) of the tangent bundle. The differenceC ₁ (V,X ₂)-C ₁ (V,X ₁) belongs then to the image of in the exact sequence. In fact, there exists a canonical liftC ₁ (V,X ₁,X ₂) of this difference inH ^2p–1(V-): we will call itthe residual class of order 2 (associated toI, X ₁ andX ₂). This class is localized near the points whereX ₁ andX ₂ are colinear: we will explain this precisely in terms of Grothendieck residues. The formula that we obtain can be interpreted as a generalization of the purely algebraic identity, obtained from the general one as a byproduct: where ( ₁, , _p) and ( ₁,, _p ) denote two families of non-zero complex numbers, such that all denominators in this formula do not vanish. (This identity corresponds in fact to the case whereX ₁ andX ₂ are non-degenerate at the same isolated singular point.)If the _i 's (1ip) depend now differentiably (resp. holomorphically) on a real (resp. complex) parametert then, denoting by the derivative with respect tot, and assuming all numbers lying in a denominator not to be 0, we can deduce from the above identity the following derivation formula:     

Zeroes of complete polynomial vector fields

We prove that a complete polynomial vector field on has at most one zero, and analyze the possible cases of those with exactly one which is not of Poincaré-Dulac type. We also obtain the possible nonzero first jet singularities of the foliation at infinity and the nongenericity of completeness. Connections with the Jacobian Conjecture are established.

     

Invariant algebraic curves and rational first integrals of holomorphic foliations in CP(2)

In this paper, using the tools of algebraic geometry we provide sufficient conditions for a holomor-phic foliation in CP(2) to have a rational first integral. Moreover, we obtain an upper bound of the degrees of invariant algebraic curves of a holomorphic foliation in CP(2). Then we use these results to prove that any holomorphic foliation of degree 2 does not have cubic limit cycles.     

Extension of holomorphic vector bundles across a boundary point

Let U ? C ⁿ , n ≥ 3, be a domain and P ∈ ?U such that U is 2-concave at P. Here we prove the existence of a holomorphic vector bundle on U which does not extend across P, but it extends across every Q ∈ ?U with Q ≠ P. We also prove a similar result taking a Stein space X instead of C ⁿ .     

Elliptic planar vector fields with degeneracies

This paper deals with the normalization of elliptic vector fields in the plane that degenerate along a simple and closed curve. The associated homogeneous equation is studied and an application to a degenerate Beltrami equation is given.

     

Periodicity of some classes of holomorphic difference equations

In this paper, we investigate the periodicity character of some classes of difference equations. Among other results, we give a simpler proof of an Open Problem addressed in Csörnyei and Laczkovich, 2001, “Some periodic and non-periodic recursions”, Monath. Math., 132, 215–236. We also consider Open Problem 2.8 in Grove and Ladas, 2005, Periodicities in Nonlinear Difference Equations, (Chapman and Hall/CRC), and the case when a difference equation has periodic solutions depending on arbitrary parameters.     

From an iteration formula to Poincaré's Isochronous Center Theorem for holomorphic vector fields

We first generalize a classical iteration formula for one variable holomorphic mappings to a formula for higher dimensional holomorphic mappings. Then, as an application, we give a short and intuitive proof of a classical theorem, due to H. Poincaré, for the condition under which a singularity of a holomorphic vector field is an isochronous center.

     

Normal forms for periodic orbits of real vector fields

We consider normal forms of real vector fields near periodic orbits and provide sufficient conditions for their smooth linearization. In addition, the main results also assert the existence of vertical local foliations, whose leaves are all transversal to the periodic orbit.     

On degeneracy schemes of maps of vector bundles and applications to holomorphic foliations

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions for maps of vector bundles on smooth projective varieties to be uniquely determined by their degeneracy schemes. We then specialize to holomorphic distributions and foliations. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions for foliations of arbitrary rank on $\mathbb P ^n$ to be uniquely determined by their singular schemes.     

Existence of Generalized Cauchy-Riemann Side-Systems in Several Complex Variables

In the present paper we have deduced the necessary and sufficient conditions on which an initial value problem $\fraca {\partial w}{\partial z_j} = a_j(z,\overline {z})\overline {w}+b_j(z,\overline {z})w+c_j(z,\overline {z}), \, j = 1,\ldots , n,\, w(z_0,\overline {z_0}) = w_0$ is locally solvable in the class of generalized analytic functions of several complex variables, which are functions fulfilling generalized Cauchy-Riemann System, $\fraca {\partial w}{\partial \overline {z_k}} = \overline {\alpha _k(z,\overline {z})}\, \overline {w}+ \overline {\beta _k(z,\overline {z})}w+ \overline {\gamma _k(z,\overline {z})},\, k = 1,\ldots , n$ .
