Taut foliations of 3-manifolds and suspensions of S 1

David Gabai (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let M be a compact oriented 3-manifold whose boundary contains a single torus P and let be a taut foliation on M whose restriction to M has a Reeb component. The main technical result of the paper, asserts that if N is obtained by Dehn filling P along any curve not parallel to the Reeb component, then N has a taut foliation.

Limit sets of foliations

Richard Sacksteder, Art J. Schwartz (1965)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Soit V une variété munie d’une structure feuilletée de co-dimension un. On démontre plusieurs théorème relatifs à des conditions entraînant que le groupe d’holonomie et le pseudo-groupe d’holonomie d’une certaine feuille F V est infini.

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...

Tischler fibrations of open foliated sets

John Cantwell, Lawrence Conlon (1981)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let M be a closed, foliated manifold, and let U be an open, connected, saturated subset that is a union of locally dense leaves without holonomy. Supplementary conditions are given under which U admits an approximating (Tischler) fibration over S 1 . If the fibration exists, conditions under which the original leaves are regular coverings of the fibers are studied also. Examples are given to show that our supplementary conditions are generally required.
