Foliations with few non-compact leaves

چکیده
Let F be a foliation of codimension 2 on a compact manifold with at least one non-compact leaf. We show that then F must contain uncountably many non-compact leaves. We prove the same statement for oriented p-dimensional foliations of arbitrary codimension if there exists a closed p form which evaluates positively on every compact leaf. For foliations of codimension 1 on compact manifolds it is known that the union of all non-compact leaves is an open set [Hae]. AMS Classification 57R30

Hyperbolicity of Holomorphic Foliations with Parabolic Leaves
In this paper, we study a notion of hyperbolicity for holomorphic foliations with 1-dimensional parabolic leaves, namely the non-existence of holomorphic cylinders along the foliation – holomorphic maps from D × C to the manifold sending each {∗} × C to a leaf. We construct a tensor, that is a leaf-wise holomorphic section of a bundle above the foliated manifold, which vanishes on an open satur...
متن کاملFoliations with Complex Leaves and Instability for Harmonic Foliations
In this paper, we study stability for harmonic foliations on locally conformal Kähler manifolds with complex leaves. We also discuss instability for harmonic foliations on compact submanifolds immersed in Euclidean spaces and compact homogeneous spaces.

A Examples and counter-examples of foliations A.1. Elmar Vogt A.1.1 Question : Let F be a compact foliation (i.e. a foliation with all leaves compact) of codimension 3 on a compact manifold. Let B be the first bad set of the Epstein hierarchy of F , i.e. B is the union of all leaves of F with infinite holonomy group. If B is not empty, can B be a manifold ? Remarks : In [44], arguments (due to ...
متن کاملNon-absolutely Continuous Foliations
We consider a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of a compact smooth manifold preserving a smooth measure. Assuming that the central distribution is integrable to a foliation with compact smooth leaves we show that this foliation fails to have the absolute continuity property provided that the sum of Lyapunov exponents in the central direction is not zero on a set of positive measure. We also ...
متن کاملThe Diffeomorphism Group of a Lie Foliation
We explicitly compute the diffeomorphism group of several types of linear foliations (with dense leaves) on the torus T, n ≥ 2, namely codimension one foliations, flows, and the so-called nonquadratic foliations. We show in particular that non-quadratic foliations are rigid, in the sense that they do not admit transverse diffeomorphisms other than ±id and translations. The computation is an app...
