This presentation develops a deep analysis of polynomial Hamiltonian differential equations in two complex variables, focusing on the study of Abelian integrals related to their perturbations. It presents a comprehensive program to classify polynomials with trivial global monodromy and to compute effective bounds on the zeros of associated Abelian integrals. The work ties geometric, topological, and algebraic aspects of foliations, relying on normal forms and rational transformations, and has applications in understanding limit cycles and the global behavior of polynomial differential systems.

High-Level Overview

The core premise is to analyze polynomial Hamiltonian systems—differential equations derived from polynomials in two complex variables—and their perturbations. Such systems define foliations of the complex projective plane by algebraic curves. A key object of study is the Abelian integral, which arises when integrating perturbations over cycles in the leaves of these foliations. Understanding the zeros of these Abelian integrals relates directly to the emergence of limit cycles and complex dynamics in perturbed systems. The talk focuses on polynomials whose foliations exhibit trivial global monodromy, enabling classification and global uniformization methods. This framework allows effective computation of bounds on zeros of Abelian integrals, thereby advancing longstanding problems in dynamics and differential equations. The results are relevant for mathematicians studying foliations, dynamical systems, and algebraic geometry.
