Birational Geometry of Foliations

The text presents the birational classification of holomorphic foliations of surfaces.  It discusses at length the theory developed by L.G. Mendes, M. McQuillan and the author to study foliations of surfaces  in the spirit of the classification

Preface

This text was originally written as a lecture note for a course given at the First Latin American Congress of Mathematicians, held at IMPA in August 2000. It is now reprinted with no changes, but some new related results appeared in the last 3 years. First of all, the Hilbert Modular Conjecture appearing at the end of the book, and completing the classification of foliations with Kodaira dimension 1, has been completely proved. One essential ingredient is the plurisu
