The basic point is the existence of an analytic first integral for the given 1-form. In this paper, we consider generalizations for two main frameworks: (1) real analytic foliations of codimension one in higher dimension and (2) singular holomorphic foliations in dimension two. All this is related to the problem of finding criteria assuring the existence of analytic first integrals for a given codimension one germ with a suitable first jet. Our approach consists in giving an interpretation of the center theorem in terms of holomorphic foliations and, following an idea of Moussu, apply the holomorphic foliations arsenal to obtain the required first integral. As a consequence we are able to revisit some of Reeb’s classical results on integrable perturbations of exact homogeneous 1-forms, and prove versions of these in the framework of non-isolated (perturbations of transversely Morse type) singularities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37546,"journal":{"name":"Arnold Mathematical Journal","volume":"7 4","pages":"561 - 571"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s40598-021-00183-x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47105478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work of Morton, Morton–Patel, and Vivaldi–Hatjispyros in the early 1990s connected the irreducibility and Galois-theoretic properties of dynatomic polynomials to rational periodic points; from the Galois–dynamics correspondence, we derive similar consequences for quadratic periodic points of unicritical polynomials.
