%0 Journal Article %T Vanishing Cycles in Holomorphic Foliations by Curves and Foliated Shells %A S. Ivashkovich %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X The purpose of this paper is the study of vanishing cycles in holomorphic foliations by complex curves on compact complex manifolds. The main result consists in showing that a vanishing cycle comes together with a much richer complex geometric object - we call this object a foliated shell. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.2114v3
