Analytic foliations and center problem (Q5957950)

The author's main result (Theorem 1.3 of the paper) is the following: There is a germ of a real-analytic \(1\)-form \(\omega\) at \(0\) in \({\mathbb R}^2\) such that (a) up to a homeomorphism a given finite sequence of blowings-up is the minimal reduction of singularities of the complexification of the germ of the foliation defined by (the complexification of) \(\omega\), and the set of singularities of the blown-up foliation is equal to a fixed finite set of points of the corners and the inverse images of \(0\) under the sequence of blowings-up; (b) the complexification of the foliation defined by \(\omega\) is not dicritical; (c) the natural condition on the holonomy group of the complexified foliation holds.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThis result is applied to show that in general there is a germ of foliation at \(0\in{\mathbb C}^2\) as it has ``many sections'' at which it restricts to centers. Another negative corollary is that there do not exist multiform first integrals related to the types of singularities at the corners (linearizable and non-resonant) if the complexification of the foliation associated to the \(1\)-form has four invariant curves.
