Generic properties of proper foliations
We show that the theory of graph directed Markov systems can be used to study exceptional minimal sets of some foliated manifolds. A C¹ smooth embedding of a contracting or parabolic Markov system into the holonomy pseudogroup of a codimension one foliation allows us to describe in detail the h-dimensional Hausdorff and packing measures of the intersection of a complete transversal with exceptional minimal sets.
