Abstract: In the current article we study complex cycles of higher multiplicity in a specific polynomial family of holomorphic foliations in the complex plane. The family in question is a perturbation of an exact polynomial one-form giving rise to a foliation by Riemann surfaces. In this setting, a complex cycle is defined as a nontrivial element of the fundamental group of a leaf from the foliation. In addition to that, we introduce the notion of a multi-fold cycle and show that in our example there exists a limit cycle of any multiplicity. Furthermore, such a cycle gives rise to a one-parameter family of cycles continuously depending on the perturbation parameter. As the parameter decreases in absolute value, the cycles from the continuous family escape from a very large subdomain of the complex plane.

Review text

The author studies complex cycles of higher multiplicity in a particular polynomial family of holomorphic foliations in the complex plane: the example studied is a perturbation of an exact polynomial one-form giving rise to a foliation by Riemann surfaces. In this framework, a complex cycle is defined as a nontrivial element of the fundamental group of a leaf from the foliation. The author also introduces the notion of a `multi-fold cycle' and shows that, in the particular case studied, there exists a limit cycle of any multiplicity. Besides, such a cycle gives rise to a one-parameter family of cycles continuously depending on the perturbation parameter. When the parameter decreases in absolute value, the cycles from the continuous family escape from a very large subdomain of the complex plane.
