A Slice Theorem for singular Riemannian foliations, with applications

Differential Geometry 2018-02-16 v2

Abstract

We prove a Slice Theorem around closed leaves in a singular Riemannian foliation, and we use it to study the CC^\infty-algebra of smooth basic functions, generalizing to the inhomogeneous setting a number of results by G.~Schwarz. In particular, in the infinitesimal case we show that this algebra is generated by a finite number of polynomials.
