Abstract: Let T=S1imesD2 be the solid torus, mathcalF the extit{singluar} foliation on T into 2-tori parallel to the boundary and one singular circle S1imes0, which is the central circle of the torus T, and mathcalD(mathcalF,partialT) the group of diffeomorphisms of T fixed on partialT and leaving each leaf of the foliation mathcalF invariant. We prove that mathcalD(mathcalF,partialT) is contractible. Gluing two copies of T by some diffeomorphism between their boundaries, we will get a lens space Lp,q with a foliation mathcalFp,q obtained from mathcalF on each copy of T. We also compute the homotopy type of the group mathcalD(mathcalFp,q) of diffeomorphisms of Lp,q leaving invariant each leaf of mathcalFp,q.


The authors consider the solid torus \(T= S^1\times D^2\) equipped with the Morse-Bott foliation \(\mathcal{F}\) on \(T\) into \(2\)-tori parallel to the boundary and one singular circle \(S^1\times 0\), which is the central circle of the torus \(T\). Let \(\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F},\partial T)\) be the group of diffeomorphisms of \(T\) fixed on \(\partial T\) and leaving each leaf of the foliation \(\mathcal{F}\) invariant. The authors prove the following result: Theorem 1. \(\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F},\partial T)\) is contractible. Gluing two copies of \(T\), the authors compute the homotopy type of the subgroup \(\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F}_{p,q})\subset \mathcal{D}(L_{p,q})\) of the diffeomorphism group of the lens space \(L_{p,q}\) leaving invariant each leaf of the Morse-Bott foliation \(\mathcal{F}_{p,q}\) obtained from \(\mathcal{F}\) on each copy of \(T\). Namely, the following statement holds: Theorem 2. The identity path component of \(\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F}_{p,q})\) is weakly homotopy equivalent to the \(2\)-torus \(T^2\), and \[ \pi_0 \mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F}_{p,q}) = \begin{cases} \mathcal{G}, & \text{for } L_{0,1} = S^1\times S^2, \\ \mathbb{Z}_2 \oplus \mathbb{Z}_2, & \text{for } L_{1,0} = S^3,\ L_{2,1} = \mathbb{R}{P}^3, \\ \mathbb{Z}_2 & \text{for } p>2, \end{cases} \] where \(\mathcal{G}\) denotes the following subgroup of \(\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\): \[ \mathcal{G}:=\left\{ \begin{pmatrix} \varepsilon &0 \\ m &\delta\end{pmatrix} \mid m\in\mathbb{Z}, \, \varepsilon,\delta\in\{\pm1\} \right\}. \] Moreover, if \(p>2\) and \(q^2\not=\pm1 (\bmod\ p)\), then the inclusion \(\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F}_{p,q})\subset\mathcal{D}(L_{p,q})\) is a weak homotopy equivalence.
