Courbes polaires d'un feuilletage singulier (Q4511643)

Let \(\omega=A(x,y)dx+B(x,y)dy=0\) define a singular foliation on \(({\mathbb C}^2,0)\). The curve \(a A(x,y)+b B( x,y)=0\) is its polar curve in the direction \((a:b)\). In the case that \(\omega\) is the differential of a function \(f\) one obtains the usual notion of polar curve. For functions one knows the behaviour of generic polars [see Chapter 6 of \textit{E. Casas-Alvero}, ``Singularities of plane curves'', London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series. 276. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2000; Zbl 0967.14018)]. The results on the decomposition of generic polars are generalised to foliations under the assumption that the foliation defines a generalised curve, which is non dicritical and satisfies a non resonance condition.
