TL;DR
This work establishes a stability-type theorem for foliations on projective spaces that are pullbacks of foliations with split tangent sheaf on weighted projective spaces, under precise non-positivity and codimension conditions. By showing that every first-order deformation of such a pullback is the pullback of a base deformation (up to a controlled map deformation), the authors construct numerous irreducible components of the moduli spaces of codimension-1 foliations on P^n and prove generic reducedness along these components. The results unify and extend prior stability phenomena, including foliations induced by Lie group actions and logarithmic foliations, and encompass pullbacks from toric varieties as a broader source of stable families. Overall, the paper provides a versatile toolkit for generating and understanding stable components in spaces of foliations ^1(^n, d) via weighted-projective pullbacks.
Abstract
We show a stability-type theorem for foliations on projective spaces which arise as pullbacks of foliations with a split tangent sheaf on weighted projective spaces. As a consequence, we will be able to construct many irreducible components of the corresponding spaces of foliations, most of them being previously unknown. This result also provides an alternative and unified proof for the stability of other families of foliations.
