In addition the set of regular points is open and dense in each section. This result generalizes a result of Boualem and solves a problem inspired by a remark of Palais and Terng and a work of Szenthe about polar actions. We also study the singular holonomy of a singular riemannian foliation with sections (s.r.f.s for short) and in particular the transverse orbit of the closure of each leaf. Furthermore we prove that the closure of the leaves of a s.r.f.s. on M form a partition of M which is a singular riemannian foliation. This result proves partially a conjecture of Molino.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-09-18T18:21:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C12", "57R30" ], "keywords": [ "singular riemannian foliation", "conjecture", "normal distribution", "complete immersed totally geodesic submanifold", "result generalizes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......9405A" } } }
