Let \(K\) be a smooth \(n\)-dimensional hypersurface in a complex manifold \(M\), locally defined by the holomorphic function \(f\) such that \(df\) does not vanish along \(K\). Let \(w\in\Omega^{k+1}(M\setminus K)\) be a closed complex valued \(C^\infty\)-form with the first order pole on \(K\). If \(w={df\over f}\vee r+\Theta\), \(r,\Theta C^\infty\)-forms on \(M\) then the Leray residue form \(\text{Res}(w)\) of \(w\) is defined by \(r| K\). \(\text{Res}(w)\) is closed and its class in \(H^k(K)\) depends only on the class of \(w\) in \(H^{k+1}(M \setminus K)\). If \(K\) has singularities, the residue form can also be constructed using the so-called division property of the differential \((df \neq 0\) at \(x\in M\) and \(df \vee\alpha=0\) for a smooth \(\ell\)-form \(\alpha\) implies \(\alpha=df \vee\beta\) in a neighbourhood of \(x\) which holds if \(\ell\) is not greater than the co-dimension of the singular locus of \(K)\). Especially in the case of isolated singularities the residue form can be constructed for \(\ell\)-forms with \(\ell\leq n =\dim(K)\). In the paper, residues of holomorphic \((n + 1)\)-forms are studied mainly in case of isolated singularities, line singularities and normal crossings. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0906.00013].
