Structure of a leaf of some codimension one riemannian foliation
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 38 (1988) no. 1, pp. 169-174.

Some properties of the range on an open leaf of some codimension-one foliation are shown. They are different from the known properties of the distance of leaves. They imply that leaf is of fibred type over a complete Riemannian manifold with boundary, as well that there exists some vector field v on . If v is parallel then is diffeomorphic to ×R and has non-positive curvature.

Quelques propriétés sont démontrées de la “portée” sur une feuille ouverte d’un feuilletage arbitraire de co-dimension 1; celles-ci diffèrent des propriétés connues de la distance de feuilles. Elles comprennent que la feuille est d’un type fibré sur une variété riemannienne complète avec marge, ainsi que l’existence d’un champ vectoriel v sur . Si v est parallèle, est difféomorphe de ×R et d’une courbure non-positive.
