Abstract

Given a foliation F\mathcal{F} on XX and an embedding XYX\subseteq Y, is there a foliation on YY extending F\mathcal{F}? Using formal methods, we show that this question has an affirmative answer whenever the embedding is sufficiently positive with respect to (X,F)(X,\mathcal{F}) and the singularities of F\mathcal{F} belong to a certain class. These tools also apply in the case where YY is the total space of a deformation of XX. Regarding the uniqueness of the extension, we prove a foliated version of a statement by Fujita and Grauert ensuring the existence of tubular neighborhoods. We also give sufficient conditions for a foliation to have only trivial unfoldings, generalizing a result due to G\'omez-Mont.
