Abstract

top
The foliation of a Morse form ω on a closed manifold M is considered. Its maximal components (cylinders formed by compact leaves) form the foliation graph; the cycle rank of this graph is calculated. The number of minimal and maximal components is estimated in terms of characteristics of M and ω . Conditions for the presence of minimal components and homologically non-trivial compact leaves are given in terms of rk ω and Sing ω . The set of the ranks of all forms defining a given foliation without minimal components is described. It is shown that if ω has more centers than conic singularities then b 1 ( M ) = 0 and thus the foliation has no minimal components and homologically non-trivial compact leaves, its folitation graph being a tree.

AB - The foliation of a Morse form $\omega $ on a closed manifold $M$ is considered. Its maximal components (cylinders formed by compact leaves) form the foliation graph; the cycle rank of this graph is calculated. The number of minimal and maximal components is estimated in terms of characteristics of $M$ and $\omega $. Conditions for the presence of minimal components and homologically non-trivial compact leaves are given in terms of $\mathop {\rm rk}\omega $ and ${\rm Sing} \omega $. The set of the ranks of all forms defining a given foliation without minimal components is described. It is shown that if $\omega $ has more centers than conic singularities then $b_1(M)=0$ and thus the foliation has no minimal components and homologically non-trivial compact leaves, its folitation graph being a tree.
