  This article studies codimension one foliations on projective man-ifolds
having a compact leaf (free of singularities). It explores the interplay
between Ueda theory (order of flatness of the normal bundle) and the holo-nomy
representation (dynamics of the foliation in the transverse direction). We
address in particular the following problems: existence of foliation having as
a leaf a given hypersurface with topologically torsion normal bundle, global
structure of foliations having a compact leaf whose holonomy is abelian (resp.
solvable), and factorization results.
