Review text

The authors deal with the problem of existence of transverse foliations for non-singular flows on closed \(3\)-manifolds. They prove for a Reebless flow that it is transverse to a foliation \(F\) if and only if its associated branched transverse surface can be modified to carry \(F\) while staying transverse to the flow.
