Abstract
Résumé

Let $ℱ$ be a transversely orientable transversely real-analytic codimension one minimal foliation of a paracompact manifold $M$ . We show that if the fundamental group of each leaf of $ℱ$ is isomorphic to $Z$ , then $ℱ$ is without holonomy. We also show that if $π_{2} (M) ≅ 0$ and the fundamental group of each leaf of $ℱ$ is isomorphic to $Z^{k}$ ( $k \in Z_{\geq 0}$ ), then $ℱ$ is without holonomy.

Soit $ℱ$ un feuilletage minimal de codimension un transversalement orientable, transversalement analytique réel sur une variété $M$ paracompacte. On démontre que le feuilletage $ℱ$ est sans holonomie si le groupe fondamental de toute la feuille de $ℱ$ est isomorphe à $Z$ . On démontre aussi que le feuilletage $ℱ$ est sans holonomie si le groupe d’homotopie $π_{2} (M) ≅ 0$ et que le groupe fondamental de toute la feuille de $ℱ$ est isomorphe à $Z^{k}$ ( $k \in Z_{\geq 0}$ ).
