Abstract: There is a natural way to deform a Killing foliation with non-closed leaves, due to Ghys and Haefliger--Salem, into a closed foliation, i.e., a foliation whose leaves are all closed. Certain transverse geometric and topological properties are preserved under these deformations, as previously shown by the authors. For instance, the basic Euler characteristic is invariant. In this article we show that the equivariant basic cohomology ring structure is preserved under these deformations, which in turn leads to a sufficient algebraic condition (namely, equivariant formality) for the Betti numbers of basic cohomology to be preserved as well. In particular, this is true for the deformation of the Reeb orbit foliation of a $K$-contact manifold. Another consequence is that there is a universal bound on the sum of basic Betti numbers of any equivariantly formal, positively curved Killing foliation of a given codimension. We also show that a Killing foliation with negative transverse Ricci curvature is closed. If the transverse sectional curvature is negative we show, furthermore, that its fundamental group has exponential growth. Finally, we obtain a transverse generalization of Synge's theorem to Killing foliations.
