Degree-one foliations on complete intersections

Algebraic Geometry 2025-12-03 v2 Complex Variables

Abstract

We prove that, under mild restrictions, the space of codimension-one foliations of degree one on a smooth projective complete intersection has two irreducible components of logarithmic type. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for any smooth hypersurface of dimension at least three that is not a quadric threefold. The proof of these results follows essentially from a more general structure theorem for foliations on manifolds covered by lines.
