Gevrey normal forms of vector fields with one zero eigenvalue

We study normal forms of isolated singularities of vector fields in Rn or Cn. When all eigenvalues of the linear part of the vector field are nonzero, one can eliminate all so-called nonresonant terms from the equation provided some spectral condition (like Siegel) is satisfied. In this paper, we discuss the case where there is one zero eigenvalue (in that case Siegel’s condition is not satisfied), and show that the formal normalizing transformations are either convergent or divergent of at most Gevrey type. In some cases, we show the summability of the normalizing transformations, which leads to the existence of analytic normal forms in complex sectors around the singularity. © 2008 Elsevier Inc.
