\(R\)-covered branched surfaces (Q1775460)

The author gives sufficient conditions for an \(\mathbb{R}\)-covered codimension one foliation \(F\) of a closed 3-manifold to be carried by an \(\mathbb{R}\)-covered branched surface. It is also shown that in cases when the branched surface is generated by discs, the \(\mathbb{R}\)-covered property is stable for \(F\).
