Monodromy of Darboux transformations of polarised curves

Abstract

We show that every finite type polarised curve in the conformal $2$-sphere with a polynomial conserved quantity admits a resonance point, under a non-orthogonality assumption on the conserved quantity. Using this fact, we deduce that every finite type curve polarised by space form arc-length in the conformal $2$-sphere admits a resonance point, possibly on a multiple cover.
