Codimension \(1\) foliations with numerically trivial canonical class on singular spaces (Q2657470)

\textit{F. Loray} et al. [Invent. Math. 213, No. 3, 1327--1380 (2018; Zbl 1426.32014)] classified codimension-one foliations \(\mathcal F\) and numerically trivial canonical class on a complex projective manifold \(X\). In particular, they proved that if the singularities of \(\mathcal F\) are canonical then after passing to an étale cover \(X\) becomes a product \(Y\times Z\) of projective manifolds with \(K_Y=0\) and \(\mathcal F\) becomes the pullback of a foliation \(\mathcal G\) on \(Z\) with trivial canonical class. They also gave a precise description of \(Z\) and \(\mathcal G\) in case the general leaf of \(\mathcal F\) is not algebraic. The main aim of the paper under review is to extend these results to the case when \(X\) is a normal complex projective variety with canonical singularities. This is achieved under further assumption that \(K_{\mathcal F}\) is torsion. The author shows also that numerical triviality of \(K_{\mathcal F}\) implies that \(K_{\mathcal F}\) is torsion in case \(X\) has terminal singularities or \(K_{\mathcal F}\) is Cartier. The general strategy of proofs is motivated by the proofs in [loc. cit.]. In the subsequent paper with W. Ou, the author extends these results to the case when \(X\) has only klt singularities (see [\textit{S. Druel} and \textit{W. Ou}, ``Codimension one foliations with trivial canonical class on singular spaces. II'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1912.07727}]).
