Lehmann-Suwa residues of codimension one holomorphic foliations and applications

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a singular codimension one holomorphic foliation on a compact complex manifold $X$ of dimension at least three such that its singular set has codimension at least two. In this paper, we determine Lehmann-Suwa residues of $\mathcal{F}$ as multiples of complex numbers by integration currents along irreducible complex subvarieties of $X$. We then prove a formula that determines the Baum-Bott residue of simple almost Liouvillian foliations of codimension one, in terms of Lehmann-Suwa residues, generalizing a result of Marco Brunella. As an application, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of dicritical singularities of a singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurface $M\subset X$ tangent to $\mathcal{F}$.
