Normalization of singular contact forms and primitive 1-forms

A differential 1-form $alpha$ on a manifold of odd dimension $2n+1$, which satisfies the contact condition $alpha wedge (dalpha)^n eq 0$ almost everywhere, but which vanishes at a point $O$, i.e. $alpha (O) = 0$, is called a textit{singular contact form} at $O$. The aim of this paper is to study local normal forms (formal, analytic and smooth) of such singular contact forms. Our study leads naturally to the study of normal forms of singular primitive 1-forms of a symplectic form $omega$ in dimension $2n$, i.e. differential 1-forms $gamma$ which vanish at a point and such that $dgamma = omega$, and their corresponding conformal vector fields. Our results are an extension and improvement of previous results obtained by other authors, in particular Lychagin cite{Lychagin-1stOrder1975}, Webster cite{Webster-1stOrder1987} and Zhitomirskii cite{Zhito-1Form1986,Zhito-1Form1992}. We make use of both the classical normalization techniques and the toric approach to the normalization problem for dynamical systems cite{Zung_Birkhoff2005, Zung_Integrable2016, Zung_AA2018}.
