Abstract: It is proved that the isometry classes of pointed connected complete Riemannian

n

-manifolds form a Polish space,

m a t h c a l M_{*}^{i} n f t y (n)

, with the topology described by the

C^{i} n f t y

convergence of manifolds. This space has a canonical partition into sets defined by varying the distinguished point into each manifold. The locally non-periodic manifolds define an open dense subspace

m a t h c a l M_{*, e x t l n p}^{i} n f t y (n) s u b s e t m a t h c a l M_{*}^{i} n f t y (n)

, which becomes a

C^{i} n f t y

foliated space with the restriction of the canonical partition. Its leaves without holonomy form the subspace

m a t h c a l M_{*, e x t n p}^{i} n f t y (n) s u b s e t m a t h c a l M_{*, e x t l n p}^{i} n f t y (n)

defined by the non-periodic manifolds. Moreover the leaves have a natural Riemannian structure so that

m a t h c a l M_{*, e x t l n p}^{i} n f t y (n)

becomes a Riemannian foliated space, which is universal among all sequential Riemannian foliated spaces satisfying certain property called covering-continuity.

m a t h c a l M_{*, e x t l n p}^{i} n f t y (n)

is used to characterize the realization of complete connected Riemannian manifolds as dense leaves of covering-continuous compact sequential Riemannian foliated spaces.

Review text

The authors prove that the isometry classes of pointed connected complete Riemannian \(n\)-manifolds form a Polish space with the topology defined by the \(C^\infty\)-convergence of manifolds: \(\mathcal{M}^\infty_\ast(n)\). This space has a canonical partition into sets defined by varying the distinguished point in each manifold. The set of locally non-periodic manifolds defines an open dense subspace \(\mathcal{M}^\infty_{\ast,\mathrm{lnp}}(n)\) of \(\mathcal{M}^\infty_\ast(n)\). This subspace becomes a \(C^\infty\)-foliated space with the restriction of the canonical partition; its leaves have a natural Riemannian structure. The authors prove that \(\mathcal{M}^\infty_{\ast,\mathrm{lnp}}(n)\) is a Riemannian foliated space universal among all sequential Riemannian foliated spaces verifying a particular property, and they use this fact to characterize the realization of complete connected Riemannian manifolds as dense leaves of covering-determined compact sequential Riemannian foliated spaces.
