Stability of singular leaves of compact Hausdorff foliations with tori as generic leaves (Q1304944)

Let \(M\) be a closed manifold and \({\mathcal F}\) a codimension \(qC^r\) foliation. \({\mathcal F}\) is called \(C^r\)-stable if there exists a neighbourhood \(V\) of \({\mathcal F}\) in the set of codimension \(qC^r\)-foliations which carries a natural weak \(C^r\)-topology, such that every foliation in \(V\) has a compact leaf. The foliation \({\mathcal F}\) is said to be Hausdorff if the leaf space \(M/{ \mathcal F}\) is Hausdorff. A leaf \(L\) of \({\mathcal F}\) is singular if it has nontrivial holonomy group. The aim of this work is to formulate and prove some theorems for the stability of Hausdorff \(C^r\) \((1\leq r\leq\infty)\) foliations of closed manifolds of dimension 4 and 5 with tori as generic leaves. The main results are presented in certain tables of isomorphism classes. The author considers foliations of codimensions two and three, with tori as the generic leaves and classifies neighbourhoods of singular leaves \(L\) which are obviously tori \(T^2\) or Klein bottles \(K^2\). Finally, he studies the local stability of singular leaves. The exposition is well intelligible.
