A "Birkhoff-Lewis" type result for a class of Hamiltonian systems.
We prove that the lowest upper bound for the number of isolated zeros of the Abelian integrals associated to quadratic Hamiltonian vector fields having a center and an invariant straight line after quadratic perturbations is one.
Let be the real vector space of Abelian integralswhere is a fixed real polynomial, is an arbitrary real polynomial and , , is the interior of the oval of which surrounds the origin and tends to it as . We prove that if is a semiweighted homogeneous polynomial with only Morse critical points, then is a free finitely generated module over the ring of real polynomials , and compute its rank. We find the generators of in the case when is an arbitrary cubic polynomial. Finally we...
