Holomorphic and Formal First Integrals for Foliations of Codimension One on Complex Analytic Space Germs

Abstract

We study holomorphic and formal first integrals for germs of codimension-one holomorphic foliations on normal complex analytic spaces. In dimension two, under the assumption that the dual graph of the exceptional divisor of a resolution is a tree, we prove that the foliation admits a holomorphic first integral if and only if its leaves are closed outside the singular point and only finitely many leaves accumulate at that point. This extends a classical integrability theorem of Mattei and Moussu to singular ambient spaces. We also prove a holomorphic prolongation theorem for normal quotient germs admitting a smooth quasi-\'etale cover and a smooth connected lift of a generic two-dimensional section. We record, in addition, a conditional formal prolongation statement under depth assumptions on the conormal powers and an injectivity condition for the corresponding differential-form obstruction modules. Under the quotient-prolongation hypothesis, and with a reduced tangent cone where formal restriction must be detected, the higher-dimensional integrability results follow from their surface counterparts. We give a reduced nonnormal example satisfying both dynamical conditions but admitting no holomorphic first integral, showing that normality is essential. Our arguments combine resolution of singularities, holonomy techniques, formal completion, and extension properties of holomorphic functions on normal analytic spaces.
