An Eigenvalue Condition for the Injectivity and Asymptotic
Stability at Infinity

Roland Rabanal

Let $X:U\to\mathbb{R}^2$ be a differentiable vector field defined on the complement of a compact set. We study the intrinsic relation between the asymptotic behavior of the real eigenvalues of the differential $DX_z$ and the global injectivity of the local diffeomorphism given by $X.$ This set $U$ induces a neighborhood of $\infty$ in the Riemann Sphere $\mathbb{R}^2\cup\{\infty\}.$ In this work we prove the existence of a sufficient condition which implies that the vector field $X:(U, \infty) \to (\mathbb{R}^2,0),$ ---which is differentiable in $U\setminus\{\infty\}$ but not necessarily continuous at $\infty,$--- has $\infty$ as an attracting or a repelling singularity.
This improves the main result of Guti\'{e}rrez--Sarmiento: Asterisque, {\bf 287} (2003) 89--102.
