As applications we give short alternative proofs of two results. The first one, due to the author and T\\\"{o}ben, states that there is non-exceptional orbit, if $M$ is simply connected. The second result, due to Lytchak, states that the orbits are closed and embedded if $M$ is simply connected. All results are proved in the more general case of polar foliations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-01-28T22:37:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C12", "57R30" ], "keywords": [ "fundamental group", "polar foliations", "complete riemannian manifold", "general case", "second result" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1012.0926A" } } }
