On transversely holomorphic foliations with homogeneous transverse structure

Abstract

In this paper we study transversely holomorphic foliations of complex codimension one with a transversely homogeneous complex transverse structure. We prove that the only cases are the transversely additive, affine and projective cases. We shall focus on the transversely affine case and describe the holonomy of a leaf which is "at the infinity" with respect to this structure and prove this is a solvable group. Using this we are able to prove linearization results for the foliation under the assumption of existence of some hyperbolic map in the holonomy group. Such foliations will then be given by simple-poles closed transversely meromorphic one-forms.
