**A revision: Novembre  2020**

I am realy indebted to [Loic  Teyssier](https://mathoverflow.net/users/24309/lo%c3%afc-teyssier)  for his two very valuable  comments and  suggestions. I summarize his comments as follows:

1) To have  a  hyperbolic complex limit cycle it is  not sufficient you check $\int_{\gamma} \alpha \neq 0$ but you should check that this integral is different from $2k\pi i$

2) If your example realy work, you can obtain a similar example with real coefficient if you replace $z^2+w^2+1=0$ with  $(z^2+w^2-4i)$.

Now after more than one year of his suggestions, I look at my answer again.

His first comment leads me to compute the corresponding integral again. Then I just realiz that this integral is equal to $0$!. More over I realize that not only this example is  not  appropriate for the purpose of this  question but also every possible reform of this  example is not appropriate. For example consideration of $$ \begin{cases} z'=w+z(z^2+w^2-4i)\\ w'=-z+w(z^2+w^2-4i) \end{cases}$$ does not work. For all these examples the holonomy would be tangent to the identity maps. Hence a relevant  question would be that: Are the corresponding leaf $z^2+w^2=4i$ is  a leaf with non trivial holonomy?

His second comment help me to realize that the following system has a complex limit cycle $z^2+w^2+1=0$ which obviously does not intersect the real plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Here is the true  example as required as an answer to this post:

 
$$ \begin{cases} z'=w+z(z^2+w^2+1)\\ w'=-z+w(z^2+w^2+1) \end{cases}$$

Finally we include the following question in our answer:

Can a real polynomial vector field possess a hyperbolic complex limit cycle $\gamma$ which is not algebraic and does not intersect the real plane?


********************************************************************************

**The previous version of my answer:**


The  answer to this  question is  **yes.** There  is  a complex  polynomial  vector  field on $\mathbb{C}^2$ with a complex  limit  cycle  which  does  not  intersect the  real plane $im(z)=im(w)=0$.

Consider the  differential  equation $$\begin{cases}z'=w+(z^2+w^2-4i)\\ w'=-z+(z^2+w^2-4i) \end{cases}$$

The regular  leaf $L: z^2+w^2=4i$ of  this  singular  foliation does  not intersect  the  real part of  $\mathbb{C}^2$. This  leaf, which is  topologically a  cylinder,  has  a  non trivial holonomy. In  fact  we  have  more: there  is  a  closed curve on this  leaf whose  corresponding holonomy  map  is  a hyperbolic  map: namely the holonomy is  not  tangent to the identity map. Here is  the  argument:

The hyperbolicity, hence non triviality, of the  holonomy of  this  leaf is  a   consequence of  [Theorem 3.2  Page 333 of  the  paper:  First  Variation of  Holomorphic  forms  and  some  applications](https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.hokmj/1351257968).

**Elaboration:** The  foliation is defined by $$\omega= (w+(z^2+w^2-4i))dw-(-z+(z^2+w^2-4i))dz=0$$

To  apply the   theorem 3.2  in the above  paper we  find  a  $1-$ form $\alpha$ which  satisfies $d\omega=\alpha \wedge \omega$, locally around  an appropriate   closed curve $\gamma$ in $L$. 

Represent  the  above  $1$- form  $\omega$ in the  form  $\omega=Pdw-Qdz$. Then for $$\alpha=(P_z+Q_w)/(P^2+Q^2)(Pdz+Qdw)$$ we  have  $d\omega=\alpha \wedge \omega$.  Note  that $P^2+Q^2$  does  not  vanish  on $L$. Now  we have to  compute $\int_{\gamma} \alpha$, along an appropriate  closed curve  $\gamma \subset L$,  and  show  that this  integral is  non zero.

To  compute  this  integral  we  parametrize the  cylinder $L$ with  
$$ \phi(t)= \begin{cases} z(t)=t+i/t\\w(t)=t/i+1/t  \end{cases}$$ where  $$\phi:\mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}\to \mathbb{C}^2$$ is the  global parametrization of $L$. We will see that the desired   appropriate  curve $\gamma$ is $\phi(S^1)$.

We  denote  by $\phi^*(\alpha) $, the pull back of $\alpha$ under embedding $\phi$. Now a  very simple  computation shows  that $\int_{S^1} \phi^* \alpha$ is  non zero  **since we  obtain  a  pole of  order 1  at the  origin.** In  fact  the  later  integral is  $\int_{S^1} 2(z(t)+w(t))(wdz-zdw)$. An  straightforward and  short computation shows that we  have a non degenerate  pole, namely  a  pole  of  order  1.  so the  integral  does not  vanish. So the  multiplier $e^{\int _{S^1} \alpha}  $  is  different from $1$. Then the  leaf $L$  is a hyperbolic  leaf. $\square$
