Foliation — In mathematics, a foliation is a geometric device used to study manifolds. Informally speaking, a foliation is a kind of clothing worn on a manifold, cut from a striped fabric. On each sufficiently small piece of the manifold, these stripes give… … Wikipedia

Taut foliation — In mathematics, a taut foliation is a codimension 1 foliation of a 3 manifold with the property there is a single transverse circle intersecting every leaf. By transverse circle, it is meant a closed loop that is always transverse to the tangent… … Wikipedia
Novikov's compact leaf theorem — In mathematics, Novikov s compact leaf theorem, named after Sergei Novikov, states that A codimension one foliation of a compact 3 manifold whose universal covering space is not contractible must have a compact leaf. Novikov s compact leaf… … Wikipedia
