Global results for PI , PII , PIV
✑ The union of exceptional lines is a repeller for the
flow.
✑ There exists a complex limit set, which is non-empty,
connected and compact.
✑ Every solution of PI , every solution of PII whose limit
set is not {0}, and every non-rational solution of PIV intersects the last exceptional line(s) infinitely many times ⇒ ∃ infinite number of movable poles and movable zeroes.
Duistermaat & J (2011); Howes & J (2014); J & Radnovic (2015, 2016)
The University of Sydney 51
Ingredients of proofs
– Energy and Jacobians of each coordinate chart. – Use each as a measure between the flow and the exceptional lines. – Use constancy of measure near an exceptional line to estimate the domain in each chart in which the solution is analytic. – Use compactness to show results about the limit set.
