Connected components of partition preserving diffeomorphisms

Abstract: Let

f : m a t h b b R^{2} o m a t h b b R

be a real homogeneous polynomial and

S (f)

be the group of diffeomorphisms

h : m a t h b b R^{2} o m a t h b b R^{2}

preserving

f

, i.e.

f c i r c h = f

. Denote by

S (f, r)

,

(0 l e q r l e q i n f t y)

, the identity path component of

S (f)

with respect to the weak Whitney

C_{W}^{r}

-topology. We prove that

S (f, i n f t y) = c d o t s = S (f, 1)

for all such

f

and that

S (f, 1) o t = S (f, 0)

if and only if

f

is a product of at least two distinct irreducible over

m a t h b b R

quadratic forms.
