Abstract

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions for maps of vector bundles on smooth projective varieties to be uniquely determined by their degeneracy schemes. We then specialize to holomorphic distributions and foliations. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions for foliations of arbitrary rank on \(\mathbb P ^n\) to be uniquely determined by their singular schemes.
