Conjecture F on algebraic integrability of foliations

Let XX be a normal complex quasi-projective variety, and let FTX\mathcal{F}\subset T_X be a coherent subsheaf closed under the Lie bracket. The distribution F\mathcal{F} is algebraically integrable if there is a dense open subvariety UXU\subset X and a smooth morphism f:UVf:U\to V such that kerdf=FU\ker df=\mathcal{F}|_U. Choose a finitely generated Z\mathbb{Z}-subalgebra RCR\subset\mathbb{C} over which XX and F\mathcal{F} have models; reduction modulo almost all primes means reduction modulo all maximal ideals of RR outside a proper closed subscheme of SpecR\operatorname{Spec}R. In characteristic pp, a coherent Lie subalgebra is pp-integrable if it is closed under taking pp-th powers. Conjecture F. F\mathcal{F} is algebraically integrable if and only if its reduction is pp-integrable modulo almost all primes pp. This predicts that algebraic integrability of a foliation is exactly detected by its reductions in positive characteristic; the supplied source does not state whether the conjecture is resolved.
