A physical model of the Reeb foliation

Differential Geometry 2025-12-02 v1

Abstract

In this paper, after explaining some basic aspects of the modern theory of foliations with the aim of describing the celebrated Reeb foliation, we propose the first construction of a comprehensive physical model of it. The construction of the model is obtained by an implementation of geometric methods for 3D printing.
