Distributions, first integrals and Legendrian foliations

We study germs of holomorphic distributions with "separated variables'. In codimension one, a well know example of this kind of distribution is given by the canonical contact structure on $\mathbb{P}^{2m+1}$ . Another example is the Darboux distribution, which gives the normal local form of any contact structure. Given a germ $D$ of holomorphic distribution with separated variables in $(\mathbb{C}^n,0)$, we show that there exists , for some $κ\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ related to the Taylor coefficients of $D$, a holomorphic submersion $H_{D}: (\mathbb{C}^n,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^κ,0)$ such that $D$ is completely non-integrable on each level of $H_{D}$. Furthermore, we show that there exists a holomorphic vector field $Z$ tangent to $D$, such that each level of $H_{D}$ contains a leaf of $Z$ that is somewhere dense in the level. In particular, the field of meromorphic first integrals of $Z$ and that of $D$ are the same.
