Algebraic geometry of the center-focus problem for Abel differential equations. (English) Zbl 1362.37055

This paper deals with centers of the Abel’s equation \(y'=p(x)y^3+q(x)y^2\), with polynomial coefficients \(p\), \(q\), from an algebraic geometry point of view.
In fact, by translating some previous results by the second author et al. [Compos. Math. 149, No. 4, 705–728 (2013; Zbl 1273.30024); Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 99, No. 3, 633–657 (2009; Zbl 1177.30046)] into the language of center equations, the authors show that the center conditions can be expressed in terms of the composition algebra, thus providing an extension of results by M. Briskin et al. [Ann. Math. (2) 172, No. 1, 437–483 (2010; Zbl 1216.34025)].
Further, this paper initiates the study of some second-order approximations of the center equations, called “second Melnikov coefficients”, that along with the vanishing of the moments can be used to characterize centers.
