Higher codimensional foliations and Kupka singularities (1408.7020v1)
Abstract: We consider holomorphic foliations of dimension $k>1$ and codimension $\geq 1$ in the projective space $\mathbb{P}n$, with a compact connected component of the Kupka set. We prove that, if the transversal type is linear with positive integers eigenvalues, then the foliation consist on the fibers of a rational fibration. As a corollary, if $\mathcal{F}$ is a foliation such that $dim(\mathcal{F})\geq cod(\mathcal{F})+2$ and has transversal type diagonal with different eigenvalues, then the Kupka component $K$ is a complete intersection and we get the same conclusion. The same conclusion holds if the Kupka set is a complete intersection and has radial transversal type. Finally, as an application, we find a normal form for non integrable codimension one distributions on $\mathbb{P}{n}$.
