Our first main result is that a foliation of degree m>1 is not stable only if it has singularities in dimension 1 or contains an isolated singular point with multiplicity at least (m^2-1)/(2m+1). Our second main result is the construction of an invariant map from the space of foliations of degree m to that of curves of degree m^2+m-2. We describe this map explicitly in case m=2.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-01-26T09:34:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "invariant theory", "projective plane", "first main result", "second main result", "isolated singular point" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
