Pull-back of singular Levi-flat hypersurfaces (Q824954)

The pull-back of a real algebraic curve in \({\mathbb{P}}^1\) via a rational map \(R \colon {\mathbb{P}}^N \to {\mathbb{P}}^1\) results in a so-called Levi-flat hypersurface \(H\) in \({\mathbb{P}}^N\), that is, a singular hypersurface which is locally, at regular points, foliated by complex hypersurfaces. A natural question is which Levi-flat hypersurfaces are such pullbacks. The reviewer gave sufficient conditions in [J. Geom. Anal. 22, No. 2, 410--432 (2012; Zbl 1354.32006)]. Later, the authors [J. Geom. Anal. 29, No. 2, 1407--1427 (2019; Zbl 1420.32021)] generalized these results to subvarieties of different dimensions. In both of these results, the conditions revolve around a singular holomorphic foliation such that \(H\) is invariant and the foliation has infinitely many algebraic leaves. In this current paper, the authors extend these results by requiring infinitely many quasi-invariant subvarieties instead of infinitely many algebraic leaves, and they obtain that \(H\) is then either a pullback of an algebraic curve in \({\mathbb{P}}^1\) or of a Levi-flat semianalytic subset of a complex surface via a rational dominant map.
