Wrinkling of smooth mappings. III. Foliations of codimension greater than one (Q1282200): Difference between revisions

The first paper of the authors with the same title is devoted to the foundations of the wrinkling method concerning singularities of smooth maps [Invent. Math. 130, No. 2, 345-369 (1997; Zbl 0896.58010)]. The present paper is devoted to applications of this technique in foliation theory. The authors prove the theorem of regularization of augmented Haefliger structures established by \textit{W. P. Thurston} [Comment. Math. Helv. 49, 214-231 (1974; Zbl 0295.57013)] and by the authors, with an alternative proof, in [Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 11, 43-53 (1977; Zbl 0449.57005)]. Moreover, they prove a multiparametric version of the above result.
