Non-compact complex foliation on a compact manifold

Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold and let $mathscr F$ be a foliation on $M$ such that each leaf $ Fin mathscr F$ is a non-compact complex manifold.



Is it true that a function $f:Ftomathbb C$ is holomorphic iff $f$ is a constant?

  • As it stands, you're asking if a function on a single leaf (which can be endowed with some complex structure) must be constant if it's holomorphic. Take a foliation where the leaves are diffeomorphic to $Bbb R^2congBbb C$, and choose a complex structure for one of the leaves. You certainly can take nonconstant holomorphic functions on that particular copy of $Bbb C$.

  • Thanks Ted! So if we assume that $M$ is homogeneous under a Lie group action and the leaves are orbits and all of them are biholomorphic. Does that change anything?
