A quick survey of foliations on 4-manifolds

Geometric Topology 2007-05-23 v3 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We present a few general results on foliations of 4-manifolds by surfaces: existence, tautness, relations to minimal genus of embedded surfaces; as well as some open problems. We hope to stimulate interest in this area.
