Higher codimensional foliations with Kupka singularities

Abstract

We consider holomorphic foliations of dimension [Formula: see text] and codimension [Formula: see text] in the projective space [Formula: see text], with a compact connected component of the Kupka set. We prove that if the transversal type is linear with positive integer eigenvalues, then the foliation consists of the fibers of a rational fibration [Formula: see text]. As a corollary, if [Formula: see text] and has a transversal type diagonal with different eigenvalues, then the Kupka component [Formula: see text] is a complete intersection and the leaves of the foliation define a rational fibration. The same conclusion holds if the Kupka set has a radial transversal type. Finally, as an application, we find a normal form for non-integrable codimension-one distributions on [Formula: see text].
