Reeb foliation

Reeb foliation

In mathematics, the Reeb foliation is a particular foliation of the 3-sphere, introduced by the French mathematician Georges Reeb (1920-1992).

It is based on dividing the sphere into two solid tori, along a 2-torus. Each of the solid tori is foliated internally, in codimension 1, and the dividing torus surface forms one more leaf.
