A counterexample to a multidimensional version of the weakened Hilbert's 16th problem

Abstract: In the weakened 16th Hilbert's Problem one asks for a bound on the number of limit cycles which appear after a polynomial perturbation of a planar polynomial Hamiltonian vector field. It is known that this number is finite for an individual vector field. In the multidimensional generalization of this problem one considers polynomial perturbation of a polynomial vector field with an invariant plane supporting a Hamiltonian dynamics. We present an explicit example of such perturbation with an infinite number of limit cycles which accumulate at some separatrix loop.

Key words and phrases: Polynomial vector field, limit cycle, invariant manifold, Abelian integral.
