Abstract

top
Some properties of the range on an open leaf of some codimension-one foliation are shown. They are different from the known properties of the distance of leaves. They imply that leaf is of fibred type over a complete Riemannian manifold with boundary, as well that there exists some vector field v on . If v is parallel then is diffeomorphic to ' × R and has non-positive curvature.

They imply that leaf ${\cal L}$ is of fibred type over a complete Riemannian manifold with boundary, as well that there exists some vector field $v$ on ${\cal L}$. If $v$ is parallel then ${\cal L}$ is diffeomorphic to ${\cal L}^{\prime }\times {\bf R}$ and has non-positive curvature.
