Rotation number for a homogeneous vector field in $\mathbf{C}^{2}$

Abstract

In this paper, we use affine surfaces to describe completely the real-time trajectories of a homogeneous vector field in $\mathbf{C}^{2}$. We prove the existence of a continuous "rotation number" in $\mathbf{C}^{2}$ which is constant along real-time trajectories. A description of the trajectories depending on their rotation number is given.
