Does $\mathbb{CP}^2$ admit a Riemann surface lamination structure? Every paper or article I looked at, talk only about singular laminations on $\mathbb{CP}^2$. I was wondering why. If you know something about it or you can give some reference, it would be nice.

It is conjectured that $\mathbb {CP}^2$ contains no embedded compact laminated set (without singularities) apart the smooth algebraic curves.
This is a strong form of the "Minimal Exceptional" conjecture, stating that for a singular holomorphic foliation of $\mathbb{CP}^2$, every leaf accumulates in the singular set.
Nice references about this subject are the following surveys:
É. Ghys - Laminations par surfaces de Riemann. Dynamique et géométrie complexes - Panor. Synthèses, 8, 1999.
S. Zakeri - Dynamics of singular holomorphic foliations on the complex projective plane. Laminations and foliations in dynamics, geometry and topology - Contemp. Math., 269, Amer. Math. Soc., 2001.

$\begingroup$ Thanks! Can you please give the name of the articles. I guess you are talking about Riemann surface laminations by Ghys and Dynamics of \mathbb{P}^2 : examples by Fornaess and Sibony. I couldn't find the article by Zakeri. $\endgroup$ Jun 25, 2016 at 16:14
