Local Integrating Factors
Journal of Lie theory, Tome 13 (2003) no. 1, pp. 279-289
This is an investigation of local (analytic or formal) integrating factors near certain degenerate stationary points of plane analytic vector fields. The method is to use blow-ups and then apply known results from the non-degenerate case. The main result is that in general there is no formal integrating factor which is algebraic over the quotient field of the formal power series ring.
