Ekedahl–Shepherd-Barron–Taylor–Bost algebraicity conjecture for foliations

Let RCR\subset\mathbb{C} be a finitely-generated Z\mathbb{Z}-algebra, and let MM be a smooth RR-scheme. A foliation FTM/R\mathscr{F}\subset T_{M/R} is a sub-bundle of Lie algebras. Vanishing pp-curvature means that Fmodp\mathscr{F}\bmod p is closed under pp-th powers mod pp. Ekedahl–Shepherd-Barron–Taylor–Bost conjecture. The complex-analytic leaves of F\mathscr{F} are analytifications of algebraic subvarieties of MCM_{\mathbb{C}} if and only if Fmodp\mathscr{F}\bmod p is closed under pp-th powers mod pp for almost all primes pp, equivalently, it has vanishing pp-curvature. This is the foliated analogue of the Grothendieck–Katz conjecture and is used as the conceptual framework for the paper's non-abelian isomonodromy results; the source does not state a general resolution.
