Tangential Hilbert problem for perturbations of hyperelliptic Hamiltonian systems

The tangential Hilbert 16th problem is to place an upper bound for the number of isolated ovals of algebraic level curves { H ( x , y ) = const } \{H(x,y)=\operatorname {const}\} over which the integral of a polynomial 1-form P ( x , y ) d x + Q ( x , y ) d y P(x,y)\,dx+Q(x,y)\,dy (the Abelian integral) may vanish, the answer to be given in terms of the degrees n = deg ⁡ H n=\deg H and d = max ( deg ⁡ P , deg ⁡ Q ) d=\max (\deg P,\deg Q) . We describe an algorithm producing this upper bound in the form of a primitive recursive (in fact, elementary) function of n n and d d for the particular case of hyperelliptic polynomials H ( x , y ) = y 2 + U ( x ) H(x,y)=y^2+U(x) under the additional as…

Redundant Picard–Fuchs System for Abelian Integrals

We derive an explicit system of Picard-Fuchs differential equations satisfied by Abelian integrals of monomial forms and majorize its coefficients. A peculiar feature of this construction is that the system admitting such explicit majorants, appears only in dimension approximately two times greater than the standard Picard-Fuchs system. The result is used to obtain a partial solution to the tangential Hilbert 16th problem. We establish upper bounds for the number of zeros of arbitrary Abelian integrals on a positive distance from the critical locus. Under the additional assumption that the critical values of the Hamiltonian are distant from each other (after a proper normalization), we were…
