Abstract: Many results in the classical minimal model program, such as the existence of flips and the base point free theorem, admit a natural generalisation to the category of foliations defined over a complex threefold. Other results, instead, seem to behave differently, such as existence of flops and canonical models. I will survey about some of the recent progress in this direction. Joint work with C. Spicer.
