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 .

Foliations with all leaves compact

D. B. A. Epstein (1976)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

The notion of the “volume" of a leaf in a foliated space is defined. If L is a compact leaf, then any leaf entering a small neighbourhood of L either has a very large volume, or a volume which is approximatively an integral multiple of the volume of L . If all leaves are compact there are three related objects to study. Firstly the topology of the quotient space obtained by identifying each leaf to a point ; secondly the holonomy of a leaf ; and thirdly whether the leaves have a locally...

Foliations and spinnable structures on manifolds

Itiro Tamura (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this paper we study a new structure, called a spinnable structure, on a differentiable manifold. Roughly speaking, a differentiable manifold is spinnable if it can spin around a codimension 2 submanifold, called the axis, as if the top spins. The main result is the following: let M be a compact ( n - 1 ) -connected ( 2 n + 1 ) -dimensional differentiable manifold ( n 3 ) , then M admits a spinnable structure with axis S 2 n + 1 . Making use of the codimension-one foliation on S 2 n + 1 , this yields that M admits...
