Let $M$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary equipped with a 1-dimensional foliation all of whose leaves are circles. An old theorem of Epstein says that $M$ is a Seifert fibered space. The proof of ...

Eliashberg and Thurston showed that a taut foliation may be deformed to tight (positive and negative) contact structures. Vogel proved that for a taut foliation without torus leaves, the associated ...

The question is based on the proof of the main theorem of Gabai's paper on Foliations and the topology of 3-manifolds which is the following: Theorem 5.1. Suppose $M$ is connected, and $(M,\gamma)$ ...

I am interested in the topology of foliations. In particular, I want to understand taut foliations, or projectively Anosov flows, and Anosov flows. I guess that A. Candel and L. Conlon, Foliations I (...
