Abstract:
Our basic question is: What open, orientable surfaces of finite type occur as leaves with polynomial growth in what closed 3-manifolds? This question is motivated by other work of the authors. It is proven that every such surface so occurs for suitable ${C^\infty }$ foliations of suitable closed 3-manifolds and for suitable ${C^1}$ foliations of all closed 3-manifolds. If the surface has no isolated nonplanar ends it also occurs for suitable ${C^\infty }$ foliations of all closed 3-manifolds. Finally, a large class of surfaces with isolated nonplanar ends occurs in suitable ${C^\infty }$ foliations of all closed, orientable 3-manifolds that are not rational homology spheres.References
