We study holomorphic foliations of codimension $k\geq 1$ on a complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n+k$ from the point of view of the exceptional minimal set conjecture. For $n\geq 2$ we show in particular that if the holomorphic normal…

The purpose of this paper has twofold. The first is to prove a unicity theorem for meromorphic mappings of a complete K\"{a}hler manifold M in P^n(C) sharing few hypersurfaces. The second is to give a unicity theorem for the case of…

We prove that, under mild restrictions, the space of codimension-one foliations of degree one on a smooth projective complete intersection has two irreducible components of logarithmic type. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for…

We classify nonsingular holomorphic foliations of dimension and codimension one on certain Hopf manifolds. More general, we prove that all nonsingular codimension one distributions on intermediary or generic Hopf manifolds are integrable…

Let ${\mathcal Q}_n^d$ be the vector space of homogeneous forms of degree $d\ge 3$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$, with $n\ge 2$. The object of our study is the map $\Phi$, introduced in earlier articles by J. Alper, M. Eastwood and the author, that…

We establish a structure theorem for degree three codimension one foliations on projective spaces of dimension $n\ge 3$, extending a result by Loray, Pereira, and Touzet for degree three foliations on $\mathbb P^3$. We show that the space…

We study groups of germs of complex diffeomorphisms having a property called irreducibility. The notion is motivated by a similar property of the fundamental group of the complement of an irreducible hypersurface in the complex projective…

Let G be a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant semi-Riemannian metric. Let K be a semisimple subgroup of G generating a left-invariant conformal foliation F of codimension two on G. We then show that the foliation F is minimal. This…

The classification of algebraic vector bundles of rank 2 over smooth affine fourfolds is a notoriously difficult problem. Isomorphism classes of such vector bundles are not uniquely determined by their Chern classes, in contrast to the…

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…

Let $d\ge 3$, $n\ge 2$. The object of our study is the morphism $\Phi$, introduced in earlier articles by J. Alper, M. Eastwood and the author, that assigns to every homogeneous form of degree $d$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$ for which the…

In this work, we study dominant rational maps preserving singular holomorphic codimension one foliations on projective manifolds and that exhibit non-trivial transverse dynamics.

For any closed oriented surface F of genus at least three, we prove the existence of foliated F-bundles over surfaces such that the signatures of the total spaces are non-zero. We can arrange that the total holonomy of the horizontal…

We investigate diagonal forms of degree $d$ over the function field $F$ of a smooth projective $p$-adic curve: if a form is isotropic over the completion of $F$ with respect to each discrete valuation of $F$, then it is isotropic over…

Earlier we introduced and studied the concept of holomorphic {\it branched Cartan geometry}. We define here a foliated version of this notion; this is done in terms of Atiyah bundle. We show that any complex compact manifold of algebraic…

The goal of this work is to study geometric properties of geometrically irreducible subschemes on degenerations of Fano varieties (more generally, of separably rationally connected varieties). It is known that these geometrically…

Let $X$ be a complex surface and $Y$ be an elliptic curve embedded in $X$. Assume that there exists a non-singular holomorphic foliation $\mathcal{F}$ with $Y$ as a compact leaf, defined on a neighborhood of $Y$ in $X$. We investigate the…

A singular point of a smooth map F: M -> N of manifolds is a point in M at which the rank of the differential dF is less than the minimum of dimensions of M and N. The classical invariant of the set S of singular points of F of a given type…

A singular (or Hermann) foliation on a smooth manifold $M$ can be seen as a subsheaf of the sheaf $\mathfrak{X}$ of vector fields on $M$. We show that if this singular foliation admits a resolution (in the sense of sheaves) consisting of…

Let $H \subset {\mathbb P}^n$ be a real-analytic subvariety of codimension one induced by a real-analytic curve in the Grassmannian $G(n+1,n)$. Assuming $H$ has a global defining function, we prove $H$ is Levi-flat, the closure of its…
