On the algebraic invariant curves of plane polynomial differential systems
We consider a plane polynomial vector field of degree
. To each algebraic invariant curve of such a field we associate a compact
Riemann surface with the meromorphic differential . The
asymptotic estimate of the degree of an arbitrary algebraic invariant curve is
found. In the smooth case this estimate was already found by D. Cerveau and A.

Critical behavior of magnetic systems with extended impurities in general dimensions
We investigate the critical properties of d-dimensional magnetic systems with
quenched extended defects, correlated in
dimensions (which can be considered as the dimensionality of the
defects) and randomly distributed in the remaining dimensions;
both in the case of fixed dimension d=3 and when the space dimension
continuously changes from the lower critical dimension to the upper one. The
renormalization group calculations are performed in the minimal subtraction
scheme. We analyze the two-loop renormalization group functions for different
fixed values of the parameters . To this end, we apply the
Chisholm-Borel resummation technique and report the numerical values of the
critical exponents for the universality class of this system.Comment: 8 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev.
