Let be a codimension-one foliation on : for each point we define as the order of the first non-zero jet of a holomorphic 1-form defining at . The singular set of is . We prove (main Theorem 1.2) that a foliation satisfying for all has a non-constant rational first integral. Using this fact we are able to prove that any foliation of degree-three on , with , is either the pull-back of a foliation on , or has a transverse affine structure with poles. This extends previous results for foliations of degree at most two.
