We determine topological and algebraic conditions for a germ of holomorphic foliation $\mathcal F(X)$ induced by a generic vector field $X$ on $(\mathbb{C}^{3},0)$ to have a holomorphic first integral, i.e., a germ of holomorphic map $F \colon(\mathbb{C}^{3},0)\longrightarrow(\mathbb{C}^{2},0)$ such that the leaves of $\mathcal F(X)$ are contained in the level curves of $F$.
We introduce and give normal forms for (one-dimensional) Riccati foliations (vector fields) on $\ov \bc \times \bc P(2)$ and $\ov \bc \times \ov \bc^n$. These are foliations are characterized by transversality with the generic fiber of the first projection and we prove they are conjugate {\em in some invariant Zariski open subset} to the suspension of a group of automorphisms of the fiber, $\bc P(2)$ or $\ov \bc^n$, this group called {\it global holonomy}. Our main result states that given a finitely generated subgroup $G$ of $\Aut(\bc P (2))$, there is a Riccati foliation on $\ov \bc \times \bc P(2)$ for which the global holonomy is conjugate to $G$.
Let $V$ be an irreducible complex analytic space of dimension two with normal singularities and $\vr:\mathbb{C^*}\times V\to V$ a holomorphic action of the group $\mathbb{C^*}$ on $V$. Denote by $\fa_\vr$ the foliation on $V$ induced by $\vr$. The leaves of this foliation are the one-dimensional orbits of $\vr$. %and its singularities are the fixed points of $\vr$. We will assume that there exists a \emph{dicritical} singularity $p\in V$ for the $\bc^*$-action, i.e. for some neighborhood $p\in W\subset V$ there are infinitely many leaves of $\mathcal {F}_\vr|_{W}$ accumulating only at $p$. The closure of such a local leaf is an invariant local analytic curve called a \emph{separatrix} of $\mathcal{F}_\vr$ through $p$. In \cite{Orlik} Orlik and Wagreich studied the 2-dimensional affine algebraic varieties embedded in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$, with an isolated singularity at the origin, that are invariant by an effective action of the form $σ_Q(t,(z_{0},...,z_{n}))=(t^{q_{0}}z_{0},..., t^{q_{n}}z_{n})$ where $Q=(q_0,...,q_n) \in\mathbb N^{n+1}$, i.e. all $q_{i}$ are positive integers. Such actions are called \emph{good} actions. In particular they classified the algebraic surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ endowed with such an action. It is easy to see that any good action on a surface embedded in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ has a dicritical singularity at $0\in\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$. Conversely, it is the purpose of this paper to show that good actions are the models for analytic $\mathbb{C^*}$-actions on Stein analytic spaces of dimension two with a dicritical singularity.
In this paper we study (smooth and holomorphic) foliations which are invariant under transverse actions of Lie groups.
We study the classification of singularities of holomorphic foliations and non-integrable one-forms under the hypothesis of transversality with real hypersurfaces.
We study codimension one (transversally oriented) foliations $\fa$ on oriented closed manifolds $M$ having non-empty compact singular set $\sing(\fa)$ which is locally defined by Bott-Morse functions. We prove that if the transverse type of $\fa$ at each singular point is a center and $\fa$ has a compact leaf with finite fundamental group or a component of $\sing(\fa)$ has codimension $\ge 3$ and finite fundamental group, then all leaves of $\fa$ are compact and diffeomorphic, $\sing(\fa)$ consists of two connected components, and there is a Bott-Morse function $f:M \to [0,1]$ such that $f\colon M \setminus \sing(\fa) \to (0,1)$ is a fiber bundle defining $\fa$ and $\sing(\fa) = f^{-1}(\{0,1\})$. This yields to a topological description of the type of leaves that appear in these foliations, and also the type of manifolds admiting such foliations. These results unify, and generalize, well known results for cohomogeneity one isometric actions and a theorem of Reeb for foliations with Morse singularities of center type. In this case each leaf of $\fa$ is a sphere fiber bundle over each component of $\sing(\fa)$.
