Rational pullbacks of toric foliations
This article is dedicated to the study of singular codimension $1$ foliations $\mathcal{F}$ on a simplicial complete toric variety $X$ and their pullbacks by dominant rational maps $φ:\mathbb{P}^n\dashrightarrow X$. First, we describe the singularities of $\mathcal{F}$ and $φ^*\mathcal{F}$ for a generic pair $(φ,\mathcal{F})$. Then we show that the first order deformations of $φ^*\mathcal{F}$ arising from first order unfoldings are the families of the form $φ_\varepsilon^*\mathcal{F}$, where $φ_\varepsilon$ is a perturbation of $φ$. We also prove that the deformations of the form $φ^*\mathcal{F}_\varepsilon$ consist exactly of the families which are tangent to the fibers of $φ$. In order to do so, we state some results of independent interest regarding the Kupka singularities of these foliations.
