Stability of Hausdorff foliations of 5-manifolds by Klein bottles (Q1340375)

A foliation \(F\) is called \(C^ r\)-stable if every foliation which is \(C^ r\)-close to \(F\) has a compact leaf. The author proves various \(C^ 1\)-stability and \(C^ r\)-non-stability results for foliations of 5- manifolds by Klein bottles whose leaf space is Hausdorff (i.e. generalized Seifert fibrations of codimension 3 all of whose leaves are Klein bottles). The key step of the proof of the stability theorem is an application of a theorem of \textit{C. Bonatti} and \textit{A. Haefliger} [Topology 29, No. 2, 205-229 (1990; Zbl 0703.57013)] which reduces the stability question to the case of circle foliations. \{Note: The list of possible holonomy groups given in theorem 5 was completed by the author in a note added in proof. These additional possibilities are not covered by the theorem of Bonatti and Haefliger. One therefore has to adjust theorem 8.\}.
