Let $\mathcal{F}$ denote a singular holomorphic foliation on $\mathbb{P}^2$ having a finite automorphism group $\mbox{aut}(\mathcal{F})$. Fixed the degree of $\mathcal{F}$, we determine the maximal value that $|\mbox{aut}(\mathcal{F})|$ can…

A holomorphic foliation $\mathscr{F}$ on a compact complex manifold $M$ is said to be an $\mathscr{L}$-foliation if there exists an action of a complex Lie group $G$ such that the generic leaf of $\mathscr{F}$ coincides with the generic…

We give an example of a one dimensional foliation $\cal F$ of degree two in a Zariski open set of a four dimensional weighted projective space which has only an enumerable set of algebraic leaves. These are defined over rational numbers and…

In this paper we study two families of three-dimensional quartics in the complex projective space ${\mathbb P}^4$: hypersurfaces with a unique quadratic singularity of rank 3, which is resolved by two blowups, and hypersurfaces with two…

We consider a class of foliations on the complex projective plane that are determined by a quadratic vector field in a fixed affine neighborhood. Such foliations, as a rule, have an invariant line at infinity. Two foliations with…

A singular foliation $\mathcal F$ gives a partition of a manifold $M$ into leaves whose dimension may vary. Associated to a singular foliation are two complexes, that of the diffeological differential forms on the leaf space $M / \mathcal…

We introduce and give normal forms for (one-dimensional) Riccati foliations (vector fields) on $\ov \bc \times \bc P(2)$ and $\ov \bc \times \ov \bc^n$. These are foliations are characterized by transversality with the generic fiber of the…

Starting with an O(2)-principal fibration over a closed oriented surface F_g, g>=1, a 2-fold covering of the total space is said to be special when the monodromy sends the fiber SO(2) = S^1 to the nontrivial element of Z_2. Adapting D…

In this paper we give a geometric description of the foliation of a generic real analytic family unfolding a real analytic vector field with a weak focus at the origin, and show that two such families are orbitally analytically equivalent…

Let $D$ be a set of smooth vector fields on the smooth manifold $M$.It is known that orbits of $D$ are submanifolds of M. Partition $F$ of M into orbits of $D$ is a singular foliation. In this paper we are studying geometry of foliation…

An orbit-like foliation is a singular foliation on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ whose leaves are locally equidistant (i.e., a singular Riemannian foliation) and (transversely) infinitesimally homogenous. This class of singular…

Let G be a finitely generated group having the property that any action of any finite-index subgroup of G by homeomorphisms of the circle must have a finite orbit. (By a theorem of E.Ghys, lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank at least…

The space of all pencils of conics in the plane $\mathbb{P} V$ (where $\dim V = 3$) is a projective Grassmannian $\mathbb{G} (1, \mathbb{P} \mathrm{Sym}^2 V^*)$ and admits a natural $\mathrm{PGL}(V)$ action. It is a classical theorem that…

Let G be a noncompact real semisimple Lie group. The regular coadjoint orbits of G can be partitioned into a finite set of types. We show that on each regular orbit, the Iwasawa decomposition induces a left-invariant foliation which is…

We study the natural action of $\mathrm{PGL}(V)$ on the Grassmannian $G=\operatorname{Gr}(2,\operatorname{Sym}^2 V^\vee)$, where $\dim V=4$ and points of $G$ are pencils of quadrics in $\mathbb{P}(V)\cong \mathbb{P}^3$. Here $\dim G=16$…

We give formulas for the degrees of the spaces of foliations in P2 with a dicritical singularity of prescribed order. Blowing up such singularity induces, generically, a foliation with all but finitely many leaves transversal to the…

In this work we consider holomorphic foliations of degree two on the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$ having an invariant line. In a suitable choice of affine coordinates these foliations are induced by a quadratic vector field over the…
