Speaker:Wodson Mendson Date: 10:30 16/02/2024 Title: Foliations in positive characteristic Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of some objects related to codimension one foliations in positive characteristic. I will discuss how to use these objects to study problems of holomorphic foliations via reduction modulo p, in particular, the problem of detecting irreducible components of the space of codimension one foliations and some algebraicity problems of foliations in the complex projective plane.
