the paper is concerned with the bifurcation of limit cycles in general quadratic perturbations of a quadratic reversible and non-hamiltonian system, whose period annulus is bounded by an elliptic separatrix related to a singularity at infinity in the poincar'{e} disk. attention goes to the number of limit cycles produced by the period annulus under perturbations. by using the appropriate p...

Dilaton transformation under abelian and non-abelian T-duality in the path-integral approach ABSTRACT We present a convenient method for deriving the transformation of the dilaton under T-duality in the path-integral approach. Subtleties arising in performing the integral over the gauge fields are carefully analysed using Pauli-Villars regularization, thereby clarifying existing ambiguities in ...

We study the analogue of the infinitesimal 16th Hilbert problem in dimension zero. Lower and upper bounds for the number of the zeros of the corresponding Abelian integrals (which are algebraic functions) are found. We study the relation between the vanishing of an Abelian integral I(t) defined over Q and its arithmetic properties. Finally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an Abe...

Let G be a finite group, S ⊆ G \ {1} be a set such that if a ∈ S, then a−1 ∈ S, where 1 denotes the identity element of G. The undirected Cayley graph Cay(G, S) ofG over the set S is the graphwhose vertex set is G and two vertices a and b are adjacent whenever ab−1 ∈ S. The adjacency spectrum of a graph is the multiset of all eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the graph. A graph is called i...

Let Γ be a finite, additive group, S ⊆ Γ, 0 6∈ S, − S = {−s : s ∈ S} = S. The undirected Cayley graph Cay(Γ, S) has vertex set Γ and edge set {{a, b} : a, b ∈ Γ, a − b ∈ S}. A graph is called integral, if all of its eigenvalues are integers. For an abelian group Γ we show that Cay(Γ, S) is integral, if S belongs to the Boolean algebra B(Γ) generated by the subgroups of Γ. The converse is proven...

The general properties of the abelian projection are reviewed. We derive the explicit expression for the abelian functional integral for U(1) abelian theory which corresponds to the abelian projection of the SU(2) gluodynamics. The numerical results for the temperature dependence of the monopole condensate are presented.

Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
