Rational pullbacks of toric foliations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This article is dedicated to the study of singular codimension 1 foliations mathcalF on a simplicial complete toric variety X and their pullbacks by dominant rational maps varphi:mathbbPndashrightarrowX. First, we describe the singularities of mathcalF and varphi∗mathcalF for a generic pair (varphi,mathcalF). Then we show that the first order deformations of varphi∗mathcalF arising from first order unfoldings are the families of the form varphivarepsilon∗mathcalF, where varphivarepsilon is a perturbation of varphi. We also prove that the deformations of the form varphi∗mathcalFvarepsilon consist exactly of the families which are tangent to the fibers of varphi. In order to do so, we state some results of independent interest regarding the Kupka singularities of these foliations.


This article deals with deformation and, more specifically, first order unfoldings of codimension-\(1\) foliations. An \textit{unfolding} of a foliation given by an integrable \(1\)-form \(\omega\in\Omega^1_X\) is a foliation on a product space \(X\times S\) given by a \(1\)-form \(\widetilde{\omega}\in\Omega^1_{X\times S}\) that restricts to \(\omega\) in the fiber over a point \(0\in S\), that is \(\widetilde{\omega}|_{X\times\{0\}} =\omega\). When \(S=\mathrm{Spec}(k[x]/(x)^2)\) we talk of a first order unfolding, and it determines a deformation of the foliation given by \(\omega\). Here the authors study the cases where \(X\) is a simplicial toric variety first and then the case where the ambient variety is \(\mathbb{P}^n\) and the foliation is the pull-back \(\varphi^*\alpha\) of a foliation \(\alpha\) on a simplicial toric surface \(X\) by a rational map \(\varphi:\mathbb{P}^n\to X\). The deformations of foliations \(\varphi^*\alpha\) that comes from unfoldings are characterized as being of the form \(\varphi_\epsilon^*\alpha\) with \(\varphi_\epsilon^*\) a deformation of the rational map \(\varphi\). The results are obtained from a careful study of the expression of \(\alpha\) and \(\varphi\) in homogeneous coordinates of \(\mathbb{P}^1\) and the toric surface \(X\).
