    The author proves a generalization of the classical Baum-Bott formula for the number of singularities of a \(1\)-dimensional foliation on a projective space. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINELet \(m\) be the dimension of the singular locus of a foliation. He gives an upper bound for the number of singularities of dimension \(m\), counted with multiplicity and degree, in terms of the degree of the foliation. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEIn the last section a general formula for \(r\)-dimensional foliation on a smooth projective variety is presented.
