Description

Reeb’s local and global theorems are classical results in the theory of smooth foliations, giving conditions under which a foliation is locally or globally the pullback of a foliation by points. These results depend on assumptions such as compactness and the finiteness of the fundamental group or holonomy of a leaf. In contrast, the Kupka Theorem concerns the local study of singular foliations of dimension greater than one and provides sufficient conditions for a germ of a foliation to be the pullback of a germ of a foliation by curves. In this talk, we will present results that may be viewed as fiber products of Reeb’s and Kupka’s theorems. Based on joint work with Gabriel Michels.
