Abstract

We study the degeneracy of holomorphic mappings tangent to holomorphic foliations on projective manifolds. Using Ahlfors currents in higher dimension, we obtain several strong degeneracy statements such as the proof of a generalized Green-Griffiths–Lang conjecture for threefolds with holomorphic foliations of codimension one.
