Audit review

The paper’s Theorem 4 states and proves that for a singular holomorphic foliation F of P3(C) with hyperbolic singularities, an invariant plane P, and no non-zero foliation cycles directed by F|P, there is a unique mass-1 harmonic current directed by F, namely the zero-extension to P3(C) of the unique harmonic current on P2(C) directed by F|P (explicitly stated in Theorem 4 and concluded after Theorem 7) . The model gives a shorter analytic proof: (i) use Fornæss–Sibony’s uniqueness on P2(C) (quoted as Theorem 2 in the paper) to get the unique current on P, (ii) extend by zero to P3(C), and (iii) show any directed harmonic current on P3(C) has no mass in P3\P by testing against dd^c of a convex exhaustion χ∘φ on C3. With a small fix (compare positive leafwise forms directly to dd^c(χ∘φ) on compact sublevel sets rather than to dd^cφ itself), the model’s argument is sound and reaches the same conclusion. The two approaches are substantively different: the paper uses Brownian motion and Lyapunov/contraction/similarity machinery, whereas the model uses a plurisubharmonic-exhaustion-and-positivity argument. Hence: both correct, different proofs.

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field

\textbf{Justification:}

The result is a natural and valuable extension of unique ergodicity from P2 to P3 under an invariant-plane hypothesis, and the paper’s dynamical method is technically interesting and may generalize further. The arguments appear correct, with clear structure and appropriate use of advanced tools (Lyapunov exponents, Brownian motion on leaves). A short comparison with a plurisubharmonic-exhaustion-based proof in this special setting would enhance clarity and situate the contribution’s breadth, hence the recommendation of minor revisions.
