This article is the first in a series of two in which we study the vanishing cycles of curves in toric surfaces. We give a list of possible obstructions to contract vanishing cycles within a given complete linear system. Using tropical…

Let X be a compact complex surface with a real foliation. If all leaves are compact complex curves, the foliation must be holomorphic.

The purpose of this paper is to study singular holomorphic foliations of arbitrary codimension defined by logarithmic forms on projective spaces.

The current article studies certain problems related to complex cycles of holomorphic foliations with singularities in the complex plane. We focus on the case when polynomial differential one-form gives rise to a foliation by Riemann…

We study vanishing cycles naturally attached to a meromorphic function with isolated singularities, in both local and global settings.

A holomorphic foliation is defined as an integrable coherent subsheaf of the tangent sheaf. The structure of the leaves around a singularity is read off from the structure of the stalks. This was done by Baum when the dimension of the…

We show that the integral foliated simplicial volume of a connected compact oriented smooth manifold with a regular foliation by circles vanishes.

Given an ample line bundle on a toric surface, a question of Donaldson asks which simple closed curves can be vanishing cycles for nodal degenerations of smooth curves in the complete linear system. This paper provides a complete answer.…

This is a survey paper dealing with holomorphic G-structures and holomorphic Cartan geometries on compact complex manifolds. Our emphasis is on the foliated case: holomorphic foliations with transverse (branched or generalized) holomorphic…

It is a well-known and elementary fact that a holomorphic function on a compact complex manifold without boundary is necessarily constant. The purpose of the present article is to investigate whether, or to what extent, a similar property…

The geometric monodromy of a plane curve singularity is a quasi-finite diffeomorphism. In this paper we locate the reduction curves of the geometric monodromy and the quadratic vanishing cycles of the singularity. An application to the…

Consider a holomorphic foliation with singularities of a 2-dimensional complex manifold. In this article we prove a new sufficient condition for this foliation to have countably many homologically independent complex limit cycles. In…

We study those real $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ foliations in complex surfaces whose leaves are holomorphic curves. The main motivation is to try and understand these foliations in neighborhoods of curves: can we expect the space of foliations in…

Consider a complex one dimensional foliation on a complex surface near a singularity $p$. If $\mathcal{I}$ is a closed invariant set containing the singularity $p$, then $\mathcal{I}$ contains either a separatrix at $p$ or an invariant real…

This manuscript is an introduction to the theory of holomorphic foliations on the complex projective plane. Historically the subject has emerged from the theory of ODEs in the complex domain and various attempts to solve Hilbert's 16th…

Generalized cycles can be thought of as the extension of form-cycle duality between holomorphic forms and cycles, to meromorphic forms and generalized cycles. They appeared as an ubiquitous tool in the study of spectral curves and…

For a holomorphic function on a complex manifold, we show that the vanishing cohomology of lower degree at a point is determined by that for the points near it, using the perversity of the vanishing cycle complex. We calculate it explicitly…

We provide a classification of complex projective surfaces with a holomorphic foliation whose group of birational symetries is infinite.

If $\Adot$ is a bounded, constructible complex of sheaves on a complex analytic space $X$, and $f:X\to\C$ and $g:X\to\C$ are complex analytic functions, then the iterated vanishing cycles $\phi_g[-1](\phi_f[-1]\Adot)$ are important for a…
