On Poincaré compactification and the projectivization of polynomial vector fields

Authors: Fengbai Li

Abstract:

The main purpose of this note is to clarify two commonly used notions, the Poincaré compactification and the projectivization, in the study of polynomial vector fields in $\mathbf{C}^n$. We show that these two notions are indeed equivalent.

Keywords: Poincaré compactification, projectivization, polynomial vector fields
