Abstract

In this article we provide a version of Chow's theorem for real analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in the complex projective space Pn\mathbb{P}^{n}, n2n \geq 2. More specifically, we prove that a real analytic Levi-flat hypersurface MPnM \subset \mathbb{P}^{n}, with singular set of real dimension at most 2n42n-4 and whose Levi leaves are contained in algebraic hypersurfaces, is tangent to the levels of a rational function in Pn\mathbb{P}^{n}. As a consequence, MM is a semialgebraic set. We also prove that a Levi foliation on Pn\mathbb{P}^{n} - a singular real analytic foliation whose leaves are immersed complex manifolds of codimension one - satisfying similar conditions - singular set of real dimension at most 2n42n-4 and all leaves algebraic - is defined by the level sets of a rational function.
