We present existence results for certain singular 2-dimensional foliations on 4-manifolds. The singularities can be chosen to be simple, e.g. the same as those that appear in Lefschetz pencils. There seems to be a wealth of such creatures…
These lecture notes attempt to invite the reader towards the theory of singular foliations, both smooth and holomorphic. In addition to a systematic review of the foundations, and an attempt to put in order examples and several elementary…
We build a germ of singular foliation in dimension two with analytical class of separatrix and holonomy representations prescribed. Thanks to this construction, we study the link between moduli of a foliation and moduli of its separatrix.
A singular foliation is a partition of a manifold into leaves of perhaps varying dimension. Stefan and Sussmann carried out fundamental work on singular foliations in the 1970s. We survey their contributions, show how diffeological objects…
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…
We say that the the germ of a singular holomorphic foliation on $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ is algebraizable whenever it is holomorphically conjugate to the singularity of a foliation defined globally on a projective algebraic surface. The object of…
We study holomorphic foliations tangent to singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in compact complex manifolds of complex dimension two. We give some hypotheses to guarantee the existence of dicritical singularities of these…
We identify a class of singular algebraic foliations whose leaves through singular points retain regularity. The proof consists in showing existence of residual gerbes for certain formal stacks, which do not enjoy smooth presentations. As…
We prove that any holomorphic codimension 1 foliation on the complex projective plane has at most one singular point up to the action of an ad-hoc birational self map of the complex projective plane into itself. Consequently, any algebraic…
We study foliations $\mathscr{F}$ on projective complete intersection K3 surfaces $X \hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$, where $\mathscr{F}$ has isolated singularities and it is the restriction of a foliation of degree $d$ on $\mathbb{P}^n$ that…
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…
This paper is devoted to the study of codimension two holomorphic foliations and distributions. We prove the stability of complete intersection of codimension two distributions and foliations in the local case. Converserly we show the…
Let $\omega$ be a differential $q$-form defining a foliation of codimension $q$ in a projective variety. In this article we study the singular locus of $\omega$ in various settings. We relate a certain type of singularities, which we name…
This paper gives conditions for a singular foliation to be resolved.
We show that up to automorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^2_{\mathbb C}$ there are $5$ homogeneous convex foliations of degree four on $\mathbb{P}^2_{\mathbb C}.$ Using this result, we give a partial answer to a question posed in $2013$ by D.…
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…
We review properties of closed meromorphic $1$-forms and of the foliations defined by them. We present and explain classical results from foliation theory, like index theorems, the existence of separatrices, and resolution of singularities…
A singular foliation is called a singular Riemannian foliation (SRF) if every geodesic that is perpendicular to one leaf is perpendicular to every leaf it meets. A typical example is the partition of a complete Riemannian manifold into…
We describe the valuations following infinitely near singular points of a (singular) holomorphic foliation in the complex plane. They appear to be those satisfying a generalization of L'Hopital's rule. With them, we characterize dicritical…
To a singular foliation on the plane corresponds a circular boundary at infinity endowed with a pre-lamination on the circle. We solve the converse direction. We determine which pre-lamination on the circle are boundary at infinity of a…
