On The Log Sarkisov Program For Foliations On Projective 3-Folds
Roktim Mascharak
TL;DR
The work extends the Sarkisov program to foliations on normal projective 3-folds with F-dlt singularities by developing a foliated MMP framework and log geography, proving that maps between foliated Mori fiber spaces decompose into foliated Sarkisov links of types 1-4. It constructs polyhedral structures in the divisor space (BCHM-style) and uses them to control MMP steps and conclude finiteness and factorization results. A parallel theory for rank one foliations is developed with a distinct method to obtain common open foliated Mori fiber spaces, while highlighting limitations when singularities are canonical. Together, these results provide a foliated birational toolkit for analyzing birational maps and automorphisms of foliated 3-folds, bridging foliations and classical birational geometry.
Abstract
In this article we prove the Sarkisov Program for co-rank one foliation with suitable singularities on normal projective threefolds. We also relate two foliated Mori fiber spaces with rank one foliations on normal projective threefolds in the spirit of the Sarkisov Program.
