Abstract:

Let F(r, d) denote the moduli space of algebraic foliations of codimension one and degree d in complex projective space of dimension r. We show that F(r, d) may be represented as a certain linear section of a variety of complexes. From this fact we obtain information on the irreducible components of F(r, d).
