Reeb stability and the Gromov-Hausdorff limits of leaves in compact foliations

Abstract: We show that the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence of leaves in a compact foliation is a covering space of the limiting leaf which is no larger than this leaf's holonomy cover. We also show that convergence to such a limit is smooth instead of merely Gromov-Hausdorff. Corollaries include Reeb's local stability theorem, part of Epstein's local structure theorem for foliations by compact leaves, and a continuity theorem ofÁlvarez and Candel. Several examples are discussed.

“…The sequence (Π n ) n∈N is called a sequence of convergence mappings of (L n , g n , x n ) n∈N with respect to (L, g, x). This mode of convergence is sometimes called smooth convergence: [29,33]. It appeared first in [25], where Gromov proved that Cheeger's finiteness theorem (see [15]) was in fact a compactness result.…”

“…For any n ∈ N, let M * (n) denote the set 1 of isometry classes, [M, x], of pointed complete connected Riemannian n-manifolds, (M, x). A sequence [17, Appendix A] (see also [81,Chapter 10], [73]). The corresponding Polish space is denoted by M ∞ * (n), and its closure operator by Cl ∞ .…”

“…Example The following simple examples clarify Definition : (i)The Reeb foliation on S 3 with the standard metric is covering‐continuous, but it is not holonomy‐continuous with any Riemannian metric. If the metric is modified around the compact leaf T2=S1×S1 so that the diffeomorphism (x,y)(y,x) of T 2 is not an isometry, then this foliation becomes non‐covering‐continuous. (ii)The Riemannian foliated space of [, Example 2.5] is covering‐determined but not holonomy‐continuous. This example can be easily realized as a saturated subspace of a Riemannian foliated space where the holonomy coverings of the leaves are isometric to double-struckR.…”
