Abstract

Let X be a projective manifold equipped with a codimension 1 (maybe singular) distribution whose conormal sheaf is assumed to be pseudoeffective. By a theorem of Jean–Pierre Demailly, this distribution is actually integrable and thus defines a codimension 1 holomorphic foliation \( \mathcal{F} \). We aim at describing the structure of such a foliation, especially in the non-abundant case: It turns out that \( \mathcal{F} \) is the pull-back of one of the “canonical foliations” on a Hilbert modular variety. This result remains valid for “logarithmic foliated pairs.”
