Formulae for indices of holomorphic foliations via reduction of singularities
Abstract
We study numerical invariants associated with the reduction of singularities of holomorphic foliation germs on $(\mathbb{C}^2, 0)$. Building on our previous work on generalized curve foliations, we extend explicit formulas for several fundamental invariants to arbitrary foliations. In particular, we provide general expressions for the discrepancy vector, the Milnor and intrinsic Milnor numbers, and classical indices along a separatrix as Camacho-Sad, Variation, G\'omez-Mont-Seade-Verjovsky and also the Baum-Bott index. These extensions require a careful analysis of the contributions of saddle-nodes arising in the desingularization process. As applications, we recover results of Brunella and Cavalier-Lehmann, as well as a related statement appearing in [8], within a unified and purely numerical framework. Furthermore, we obtain intrinsic characterizations of generalized curve foliations in terms of indices and of second type foliations in terms of the discrepancy vector.
