Singular locus of q-logarithmic foliations
Ariel Molinuevo, Federico Quallbrunn
TL;DR
This paper studies the singular locus of generic codimension $q$-logarithmic foliations $\omega$ on smooth varieties and its relation to unfoldings. It combines unfolding theory with the Kupka/persistent singularities framework to show that $\mathrm{Sing}(\omega)$ splits into a Kupka component of codimension $q+1$ and a residual piece, and proves $\mathpzc{Kup}(\omega)=\mathpzc{Per}(\omega)$ under genericity. It provides an explicit algebraic description of the persistent singularities via $\mathscr{I}(\omega)$ (and its closure $\mathscr{K}(\omega)$) equaling $\sum_{|J|=q}\mathcal I(F_{\widehat J})$ and also $\bigcap_{|K|=q+1}\sum_{i\in K}\mathcal I(f_i)$. In projective space, these give a concrete graded ideal description for the scheme of persistent singularities, enabling computable characterizations of higher-codimension foliations.
Abstract
We determine the structure of the singular locus of generic codimension-$q$ logarithmic foliations and its relation with the unfoldings of said foliations. In the case where the ambient variety is the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ we calculate the graded ideal defining the scheme of persistent singularities.
