REZENDE, DANA SCHLOMIUK, NICOLAE VULPE Abstract. Let QSH be the whole class of non-degenerate planar quadratic differential systems possessing at least one invariant hyperbola. We classify this family of systems, modulo the action of the group of real affine transfor- mations and time rescaling, according to their geometric properties encoded inthe configurations of invariant hyperbolas and invariant straight lines which these systems possess. The classification is given both in terms of algebraic geometric invariants and also in terms of affine invariant polynomials. It yields a total of 205 distinct such configurations. We have 162 configurations for the subclass QSH (η>0) of systems which possess three distinct real singularities at infinity in P 2 (C), and 43 configurations for the subclass QSH (η=0) of systems which possess either exactly two distinct real singularities at infinity or the line at infinity filled up with singularities. The algebraic classification, based on the invariant polynomials, is also an algorithm which makes it possible to verify for any given real quadratic differential system if it has invariant hy- perbolas or not and to specify its configuration of invariant hyperbolas and straight lines.
