The Poincaré-Bendixson theorem and arational foliations on the sphere

Igor Nikolaev (1996)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Foliations on the 2-sphere with a finite number of non-orientable singularities are considered. For this class a Poincaré-Bendixson theorem is established. In particular, the work gives an answer to a problem of H. Rosenberg concerning labyrinths.

Smoothability of proper foliations

John Cantwell, Lawrence Conlon (1988)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Compact, C 2 -foliated manifolds of codimension one, having all leaves proper, are shown to be C -smoothable. More precisely, such a foliated manifold is homeomorphic to one of class C . The corresponding statement is false for foliations with nonproper leaves. In that case, there are topological distinctions between smoothness of class C r and of class C r + 1 for every nonnegative integer r .

Regular projectively Anosov flows with compact leaves

Takeo Noda (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

This paper concerns projectively Anosov flows φ t with smooth stable and unstable foliations s and u on a Seifert manifold M . We show that if the foliation s or u contains a compact leaf, then the flow φ t is decomposed into a finite union of models which are defined on T 2 × I and bounded by compact leaves, and therefore the manifold M is homeomorphic to the 3-torus. In the proof, we also obtain a theorem which classifies codimension one foliations on Seifert manifolds with compact leaves which...
