Abstract: The paper deals with a modified Godbillon-Vey class defined by Losik for codimension-one foliations. This characteristic class takes values in the cohomology of the second order frame bundle over the leaf space of the foliation. The definition of the Reeb foliation depends upon two real functions satisfying certain conditions. All these foliations are pairwise homeomorphic and have trivial Godbillon-Vey class. We show that the modified Godbillon-Vey is non-trivial for some Reeb foliations and it is trivial for some other Reeb foliations. In particular, the modified Godbillon-Vey class can distinguish non-diffeomorphic foliations and it provides more information than the classical Godbillon-Vey class. We also show that this class is non-trivial for some foliations on the two-dimensional surfaces.

Review text

The paper is a continuation of a previous work of the first two authors on characteristic classes of codimension-one foliations [``Losik classes for codimension-one foliations, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1810.01143}, accepted by J. Inst. Math. Jussieu] based on Mark V. Losik's ideas. The characteristic class used here is a modified Godbillon-Vey class which takes values in the cohomology of the second order frame bundle over the leaf space of the foliation. Reeb foliations have trivial Godbillon-Vey class. The authors show that the modified Godbillon-Vey class is non-trivial for some Reeb foliations. In particular, this characteristic class, the modified Godbillon-Vey class, can distinguish non-diffeomorphic foliations and, in this way, it provides more information than the classical Godbillon-Vey class.
