description

In this chapter we explain a remarkable theorem of Miyaoka [32] which asserts that a foliation whose cotangent bundle is not pseudoeffective is a foliation by rational curves. The original Miyaoka’s proof can be thought as a foliated version of Mori’s technique of construction of rational curves by deformations of morphisms in positive characteristic [33].
