Conformal geometry of foliations

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2481357





The purpose of the paper under review is to initiate a systematic investigation of conformal geometric properties of foliations of codimension~1. Specifically, in the first few sections of the paper, one focuses on such foliations on space forms and one describes geometric ways of constructing local conformal invariants. The last sections of the paper deal with global conformal properties of foliations on compact Riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature. For instance, one proves that a compact hyperbolic 3-dimensional manifold cannot have any Dupin foliation, that is, a 2-dimensional foliation whose leaves are pieces of Dupin cyclides.
