Moduli of Distributions via Singular Schemes

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. We show that the map that sends a codimension one distribution on $X$ to its singular scheme is a morphism from the moduli space of distributions into a Hilbert scheme. We describe its fibers and, when $X = \mathbb{P}^n$, compute them via syzygies. As an application, we describe the moduli spaces of degree 1 distributions on $\mathbb{P}^3$. We also give the minimal graded free resolution for the ideal of the singular scheme of a generic distribution on $\mathbb{P}^3$.
