Linear pullback components of the space of codimension one foliations (Q2040961)

The geometry of the spaces of codimension one foliations in complex projective spaces is a rich field of research. In particular, the space of holomorphic foliations of codimension one and degree \(d\geq 2\) in \(\mathbb{P}^n\) \((n \geq 3)\) has an irreducible component whose general element can be written as a pullback \(F^*\mathcal{F}\), where \(\mathcal{F}\) is a general foliation of degree \(d\) in \(\mathbb{P}^2\) and \(F : \mathbb{P}^n \to \mathbb{P}^2\) is a general rational linear map. The author gives a polynomial formula for the degrees of such components. Scripts for Macaulay2 are provided.
