We generalize the Hirsch construction of a smooth foliation on a 3-manifold with a unique exceptional minimal set, to obtain a method for constructing smooth foliations of arbitrary codimension with exotic minimal sets. The method also yields a procedure to realize a given system ofétale correspondences as the holonomy of a smooth foliation of a compact manifold. This generalizes the well-known group suspension construction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
