Generating positive geometric entropy from recurrent leaves

Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new

C^{r} -

perturbation procedure, with respect to the

C^{r}

-Epstein topology, for

C^{r}

-foliations by surfaces. Using this perturbation procedure we show how one can use the existence of recurrent leaves of certain

C^{r} -

foliation

m a t h c a l F

to obtain a foliation

m a t h c a l G

,

C^{r} -

close to

m a t h c a l F

in the

C^{r} -

Epstein topology, which has a resilient leaf. In particular, one can take advantage of recurrence property to construct examples of

C^{r} -

foliations by surfaces,

C^{r} -

close to each other and such that one of them has a resilient leaf while the other is Riemannian (therefore has trivial dynamics).
