On a Mattei-Salem theorem

Abstract

We investigate the relationship between the valuations of a germ of a singular foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on the complex plane and those of a balanced equation of separatrices for $\mathcal{F}$, extending a theorem by Mattei-Salem. Under certain conditions, we also derive inequalities involving the valuation, tangency excess, and degree of a holomorphic foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on the complex projective plane.
