A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…
These are slightly informal lecture notes intended for graduate students about the standard local theory of holomorphic foliations and vector fields. Though the material presented here is well-known some of the proofs differs slightly from…
This article studies codimension one foliations on projective man-ifolds having a compact leaf (free of singularities). It explores the interplay between Ueda theory (order of flatness of the normal bundle) and the holo-nomy representation…
We give a Kodaira-type classification of general singular fibers of a holomorphic Lagrangian fibration in Fujiki's class $\mathcal C$. Our approach is based on the study of the characteristic vector field of the discriminantal hypersurface,…
We consider holomorphic foliations by curves on compact complex manifolds, for which we investigate the existence of projective structures along the leaves varying holomorphically (foliated projective structures), that satisfy particular…
These results complete our paper in Hiroshima Mathematical Journal, vol. 42, pp. 37-75. Let C be a covering of the plane by disjoint complete folding curves which satisfies the local isomorphism property. We show that C is locally…
We study entire holomorphic curves in the algebraic torus, and show that they can be characterized by the ``growth rate'' of their derivatives.
A smooth foliation is Riemannian when its leaves are locally equidistant. The closures of the leaves of a Riemannian foliation on a simply connected manifold, or more generally of a Killing foliation, are described by flows of transverse…
It is known that there is at least an invariant analytic curve passing through each of the components in the complement of nodal singularities, after the reduction of singularities of a germ of singular foliation in ${\mathbb C}^2,0$}.…
In dimensions greater than or equal to 3, the local structure of a singular holomorphic foliation conceals a globally defined foliation on the projective space of dimension one less. In this paper, we will discuss how the global dynamics of…
We study codimension $q \geq 2$ holomorphic foliations defined in a neighborhood of a point $P$ of a complex manifold that are completely integrable, i.e. with $q$ independent meromorphic first integrals. We show that either $P$ is a…
The purpose of this paper is to present a ``Cech-De Rham'' model for the cohomology of leaf spaces. This model lends itself to the construction of characteristic classes (in the cohomology of classifying spaces) by explicit geometrical…
We classify holomorphic Cartan geometries on every compact complex curve, and on every compact complex surface which contains a rational curve.
We consider a finite composition of generalized H\'{e}non mappings $\mathfrak{f}:\mathbb{C}^2\to\mathbb{C}^2$ and its Green function $\mathfrak{g}^+:\mathbb{C}^2\to\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ (see Section 2). It is well known that each level set…
We give a survey of the approaches to classifying foliations, starting with the Haefliger classifying spaces and the various results and examples about the secondary classes of foliations. Various dynamical properties of foliations are…
We investigate the geometry of codimension one foliations on smooth projective varieties defined over fields of positive characteristic with an eye toward applications to the structure of codimension one holomorphic foliations on projective…
We propose a study of the foliations of the projective plane induced by simple derivations of the polynomial ring in two indeterminates over the complex field. These correspond to foliations which have no invariant algebraic curve nor…
A holomorphic foliation on $\mathbb P^2_{\mathbb C}$, or a real analytic foliation on $\mathbb{P}^{2}_{\mathbb{R}},$ is said to be convex if its leaves other than straight lines have no inflection points. The classification of the convex…
We study the space of deformations of a smooth foliation of the 5-sphere by complex manifolds
We consider closed positive currents invariant by a singular holomorphic foliation on an algebraic surface. We show that under some conditions the foliation must leave invariant an algebraic curve.
