Zariski's multiplicity conjecture for holomorphic foliations

Let F\mathcal{F} and G\mathcal{G} be holomorphic foliations by curves at (Cn,0)(\mathbb{C}^{n},0), with algebraic multiplicities denoted by ν(F,0)\nu(\mathcal{F},0) and ν(G,0)\nu(\mathcal{G},0). Say that they are topologically equivalent if a homeomorphism of (Cn,0)(\mathbb{C}^{n},0) sends every integral curve of one foliation onto an integral curve of the other. Zariski's multiplicity conjecture for holomorphic foliations. If F\mathcal{F} and G\mathcal{G} are topologically equivalent, then

ν(F,0)=ν(G,0).\nu(\mathcal{F},0)=\nu(\mathcal{G},0).

This is the foliation analogue of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture and concerns a basic proposed topological invariant of holomorphic foliations and ordinary differential equations. The paper describes it as a fundamental open problem and proves invariance in several classes and under additional hypotheses.
