Extract

Let M be a closed manifold of dimension 3 and let Fol(M) be the space of codimension one C-foliations on M. A foliation ∈ Fol(M) is said to be Cr- structurally stable if there exists a neighbourhood V of in Fol(M) in the (Epstein) Cr-topology such that every foliation is topologically conjugate to , through a homeomorphism near to the identity. Some background on the problem of structural stability of foliations can be found in [8]. In this paper we shall be concerned with proper foliations, i.e. foliations all of whose leaves are proper.
