Symmetries of degenerate center singularities of plane vector fields
Abstract
Let $D$ be a closed unit $2$-disk on the plane centered at the origin $O$, and $F$ be a smooth vector field such that $O$ is a unique singular point of $F$ and all other orbits of $F$ are simple closed curves wrapping once around $O$. Thus topologically $O$ is a "center" singularity. Let also $\mathrm{Diff}(F)$ be the group of all diffeomorphisms of $D$ which preserve orientation and orbits of $F$. In arXiv:0907.0359 the author described the homotopy type of $\mathrm{Diff}(F)$ under assumption that the $1$-jet of $F$ at $O$ is non-degenerate. In this paper degenerate case is considered. Under additional "non-degeneracy assumptions" on $F$ the path components of $\mathrm{Diff}(F)$ with respect to distinct weak topologies are described.
