Abstract

We prove a complete classification of degree-22 foliations on Pn\mathbb{P}^n in any dimension, assuming they are not algebraically integrable. If F\mathcal{F} is such a foliation, then either F\mathcal{F} is the linear pull-back of a degree-22 foliation by curves on Pnk+1\mathbb{P}^{n-k+1}, or a logarithmic foliation of type (1nk+1,2)(1^{n-k+1},2), or a logarithmic foliation of type (1nk+3)(1^{n-k+3}), or the linear pull-back of a degree-22 foliation of dimension 22 on Pnk+2\mathbb{P}^{n-k+2} tangent to an action of the Lie algebra aff(C)\mathfrak{aff}(\mathbb{C}). Meanwhile, we prove that any 22-dimensional foliation tangent to a global vector field must satisfy that its tangent sheaf is either not locally free or has a direct summand isomorphic to OPn(a)\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{n}}(a), with a{0,1}a\in\{0,1\}. As a byproduct of our classification, we describe the geometry of Poisson structures on P4\mathbb{P}^{4} with generic rank two.
