Generic complex polynomial vector fields with real coefficients (Q7010887)

The paper studies the complex 1-dimensional polynomial vector fields \(P(z)\partial /\partial z\) with real coefficients, where \(P=z^{k+1}+\varepsilon _{k-1}z^{k-1}+\cdots +\varepsilon _1z+\varepsilon_0\) for \(k\) odd and \(P=\pm z^{k+1}+\varepsilon _{k-1}z^{k-1}+\cdots +\varepsilon _1z+\varepsilon_0\) for \(k\) even. Such vector fields are considered under topological orbital equivalence preserving the separatrices of the pole at infinity. The number of generic strata is determined, and a complete parametrization of these strata is given in terms of a modulus formed by a combinatorial and an analytic part. The bifurcation diagram is described for the degree 4. A realization theorem is proved for any generic modulus.
