    Symmetries of degenerate center singularities of plane vector fields

    Full text link
    Let DD be a closed unit 22-disk on the plane centered at the origin OO, and FF be a smooth vector field such that OO is a unique singular point of FF and all other orbits of FF are simple closed curves wrapping once around OO. Thus topologically OO is a "center" singularity. Let also Diff(F)\mathrm{Diff}(F) be the group of all diffeomorphisms of DD which preserve orientation and orbits of FF. In arXiv:0907.0359 the author described the homotopy type of Diff(F)\mathrm{Diff}(F) under assumption that the 11-jet of FF at OO is non-degenerate. In this paper degenerate case is considered. Under additional "non-degeneracy assumptions" on FF the path components of Diff(F)\mathrm{Diff}(F) with respect to distinct weak topologies are described.Comment: 21 page, 3 figure
