Abstract:
Let be a one dimensional foliation on a projective space, that is, an invertible subsheaf of the sheaf of sections of the tangent bundle. If the singularities of are isolated, Baum-Bott formula states how many singularities, counted with multiplicity, appear. The isolated condition is removed here. Let be the dimension of the singular locus of . We give an upper bound of the number of singularities of dimension , counted with multiplicity and degree, that may have, in terms of the degree of the foliation. We give some examples where this bound is reached. We then generalize this result for a higher dimensional foliation on an arbitrary smooth and projective variety.
