Holomorphic normal form of nonlinear perturbations of nilpotent vector fields

Resumo

We consider germs of holomorphic vector fields at a fixed point having a nilpotent linear part at that point, in dimension n ≥ 3. Based on Belitskii’s work, we know that such a vector field is formally conjugate to a (formal) normal form. We give a condition on that normal form which ensures that the normalizing transformation is holomorphic at the fixed point.We shall show that this sufficient condition is a nilpotent version of Bruno’s condition (A). In dimension 2, no condition is required since, according to Stróżyna–Żołladek, each such germ is holomorphically conjugate to a Takens normal form. Our proof is based on Newton’s method and sl2(C)-representations.
