β¦ Synopsis
It has recently been proved [3] that the solution spaces of certain classes of differential equations whose local solutions are parametrized by three or four arbitrary constants can be endowed with conformal Lorentzian metrics in a natural way. We shall prove that these conformal structures are preserved when the differential equations are transformed by a contact transformation.

We introduce new methods of complex analysis (inequalities of Bernstein type) to study projections of analytic sets. These techniques are applied to problems of bifurcations of periodic orbits of differential equations such as the local Hilbert's 16 th problem. 1997 Academic Press ## I. INTRODUCTI
Differential calculus on the space of asymptotically linear curves is developed. The calculus is applied to elucidate the integrability of the vortex filament equation.
