Abstract: In this note we present variants of Kostov's theorem on a versal deformation of a parabolic point of a complex analytic 1-dimensional vector field. First we provide a self-contained proof of Kostov's theorem, together with a proof that this versal deformation is indeed universal. We then generalize to the real analytic and formal cases, where we show universality, and to the Cinfty case, where we show that only versality is possible.


The authors present variants of {V. P. Kostov}'s theorem [Funct. Anal. Appl. 18, 335--337 (1984; Zbl 0573.58002); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 18, No. 4, 81--82 (1984); Math. USSR, Izv. 37, No. 3, 525--537 (1990; Zbl 0738.58001); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 54, No. 6, 1168--1180 (1990)] on a versal deformation of a parabolic point of a complex analytic 1-dimensional vector field. Such a vector field is locally analytically conjugate to any one of the following two normal forms: \((x^{k+1}-\mu x^{2k+1})\partial /\partial x\) or \((x^{k+1}/(1+\mu x^k))\partial /\partial x\). They provide a self-contained proof of Kostov's theorem, together with a proof that this versal deformation is indeed universal. They then generalize the results to the real analytic and formal cases, where they prove universality, and to the \(C^{\infty}\)-case, where they show that only versality is possible.
