Abstract

We study the conormal sheaves and singular schemes of 1-dimensional foliations on smooth projective varieties XX of dimension 3 and Picard rank 1. We prove that if the singular scheme has dimension 0, then the conormal sheaf is μ\mu-stable whenever the tangent bundle TXTX is stable, and apply this fact to the characterization of certain irreducible components of the moduli space of rank 2 reflexive sheaves on P3\mathbb{P}^3 and on a smooth quadric hypersurface Q3P4Q_3\subset\mathbb{P}^4. Finally, we give a classification of local complete intersection foliations, that is, foliations with locally free conormal sheaves, of degree 0 and 1 on Q3Q_3.
