Abstract:
The global stability theorem of G. Reeb is no longer true if the codimension of the foliation is greater than one. However, in the presence of a complete transverse Riemannian structure, B. Reinhart obtained a global stability result. We prove global stability theorems for the much larger class of conformal foliations.References
