Abstract
This is an enlarged version of a talk given in La Rábida 91 which was entitled “Webs of maximum rank in ℂ2 which are algebraic”. We begin with a short survey on web geometry in ℂ2. The linearization problem for webs in ℂ2 is discussed and new results are given. In particular, we characterize maximum rank webs in ℂ2 which are linearizable. At the end of the article, we pose some questions and we show how to use basic facts of algebraic analysis (i.e., D-modules theory) to recover some classical results and study new problems for webs in ℂ2.
