Unique ergodicity of harmonic currents on singular foliations of \({\mathbb{P}^2}\) (Q2269896)

In the paper under review the authors deal with holomorphic foliations of \(\mathbb P^2\) having only hyperbolic singularities and no invariant algebraic leaves. Such conditions (which are slightly released in the paper) are by no means restrictive since it is known after the work of A. Lins Neto and M. Soares that for any fixed degree \(d\geq 1\) the set of foliations having only hyperbolic singularities and no invariant algebraic leaves is a (real) Zariski dense open subset of the space of foliations of degree \(d\). The result contained in the paper states that for any given holomorphic foliation \(\mathcal F\) on \(\mathbb P^2\) with only hyperbolic singularities and no invariant algebraic leaves there exists a unique positive harmonic current \(T\) of mass \(1\) directed by \(\mathcal F\). This means that \(T\) is a positive current on \(\mathbb P^2\) of bidimension \((1,1)\) and mass \(1\) such that \(i\partial\overline{\partial} T=0\) and moreover \(T\wedge \omega_0=0\) whenever \(\mathcal F\) is locally given by the form \(\omega_0\). Moreover, in any flow box \(B\) which contains no singularities of \(\mathcal F\), the current \(T\) can be expressed as \(\int h_\alpha[V_\alpha] d\mu(\alpha)\), where the functions \(h_\alpha\) are positive harmonic on the local leaves \(V_\alpha\) of \(\mathcal F\) and \(\mu\) is a Borel measure on the transversal. Such a result is indeed a consequence of a more general result about closed invariant set of foliations. Namely, given a holomorphic foliation \(\mathcal F\) on \(\mathbb P^2\) having no invariant algebraic leaves, and a closed \(\mathcal F\)-invariant set \(X\) such that \(\mathcal F\) has only hyperbolic singularities on \(X\), then there exists a unique positive harmonic current \(T\) of mass \(1\) directed by \(X\). Several corollaries to such a result, together with intersection theory developed by the same authors for positive \(\partial\overline{\partial}\)-closed currents of bidegree \((1,1)\), are also given.
