Holomorphic slow-fast systems

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with studying the existence of invariant complex manifolds of two-dimensional holomorphic systems. From the geometric singular perturbation theory we know that if a slow-fast system has associated a normally hyperbolic compact critical manifold, then there exists a smooth locally invariant manifold. However, this smooth manifold does not necessarily have a complex structure. Here, we provide conditions to guarantee the existence of one-dimensional invariant complex manifolds. Consequently, this allows us to establish that the centers, foci, and nodes of the reduced problem are persistent by singular perturbation. The tools used by us are the usual techniques of Fenichel and Briot-Bouquet Theories.
