Foliation Theory in Algebraic Geometry

Featuring a blend of original research papers and comprehensive surveys from an international team of leading researchers in the thriving fields of foliation theory, holomorphic foliations, and birational geometry, this book presents the proceedings of the conference "Foliation Theory in Algebraic Geometry," hosted by the Simons Foundation in New York City in September 2013.

Topics covered include: Fano and del Pezzo foliations; the cone theorem and rank one foliations; the structure of s...
