Are manifolds admitting a circle foliation covered by manifolds with a (non-trivial) circle action?
More precisely, is there a criterion that decides the above question?
I am particularly interested in the smooth setting: is a smooth manifold with a smooth regular foliation by circles covered by a ...

Is the orbit foliation of the Weyl chamber flow Riemannian?
$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}$Fix an integer $p\geq 1$ and a cocompact lattice $\Gamma\subset \SL(p+1,\mathbb{R})$. Consider the manifold
$$
M_{\Gamma}:=\SL(p+1,\mathbb{R})/\Gamma.
$$
Let $A\subset \SL(...

Does an abelian group acting on a riemaniann manifold define an othogonal foliation?
This question is related to my previous question. Suppose that a group $G$ acts freely and properly on a Riemaniann manifold $(M, g)$. Than the orbits form a foliation for $M$. For $p \in M$, let $V_p$...
