The infinitesimal 16th Hilbert problem in dimension zero

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the analogue of the infinitesimal 16th Hilbert problem in dimension zero. Lower and upper bounds for the number of the zeros of the corresponding Abelian integrals (which are algebraic functions) are found. We study the relation between the vanishing of an Abelian integral I(t) defined over mathbbQ and its arithmetic properties. Finally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an Abelian integral to be identically zero.


Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be Zariski open subsets in \({\mathbb C}^{q+1}\) and \({\mathbb C}\) respectively, \(f : X \rightarrow Y\) a morphism given by a polynomial, \(\gamma(a) \in H_q(f^{-1}(a), {\mathbb Z})\) a continuous family of \(q\)-cycles and \(\omega\) a polynomial \(q\)-form in \({\mathbb C}^{q+1}\), all these objects being defined over a subfield \(k \subset {\mathbb C}\). The infinitesimal 16th Hilbert problem asks to find the exact upper bound \(Z(m,n,k,q)\) for the number of zeros \(a \in K \cap D\) of the abelian integral \(I(a)= \int_{\gamma(a)} \omega\) where \(\deg(f) \leq m\), \(\deg(\omega) \leq n\) and \(D\) is any simply connected domain in \(Y\). In this paper, the authors consider the case \(q=0\) and its main result is Theorem 1 where they prove \[ m-1 - \lfloor \tfrac{n}{m} \rfloor \leq Z(m,n,k,0) \leq \frac{(m-1)(n-1)}{2}. \] Moreover, it is also investigated some arithmetic properties of abelian integrals. Thus, they improve the upper bound for the number of zeros of an abelian integral with fixed \(f\) and give a necessary and sufficient condition for an abelian integral to be zero.
