Brunella's algebraic separatrix conjecture for foliations on projective spaces

About 8 years old · traced to

Let d4d5d4d5 be a codimension one foliation on d4d9nd4d9^n, with nd45e3n d45e 3. An invariant algebraic hypersurface is an algebraic hypersurface preserved by d4d5d4d5; d4d5d4d5 is everywhere tangent to a foliation by codimension two algebraic subvarieties when its tangent directions are contained in those of such a foliation. Brunella's conjecture. Every codimension one foliation on d4d9nd4d9^n either admits an invariant algebraic hypersurface or is everywhere tangent to a foliation by codimension two algebraic subvarieties. The conjecture motivated the study of non-dicritical foliations; the paper proves the first alternative for non-dicritical foliations on d4d9nd4d9^n when nd45e4n d45e 4, but does not settle the conjecture in general, including dimension three.
