Abstract

Let XX be a Stein manifold of complex dimension n>1n>1 endowed with a Riemannian metric g\mathfrak{g}. We show that for every integer kk with [n2]kn1\left[\frac{n}{2}\right] \le k \le n-1 there is a nonsingular holomorphic foliation of dimension kk on XX all of whose leaves are topologically closed and g\mathfrak{g}-complete. The same is true if 1k<[n2]1\le k<\left[\frac{n}{2}\right] provided that there is a complex vector bundle epimorphism TXX×CnkTX\to X\times\mathbb{C}^{n-k}. We also show that if F\mathcal{F} is a proper holomorphic foliation on Cn\mathbb{C}^n (n>1)(n>1) then for any Riemannian metric g\mathfrak{g} on Cn\mathbb{C}^n there is a holomorphic automorphism Φ\Phi of Cn\mathbb{C}^n such that the image foliation ΦF\Phi_*\mathcal{F} is g\mathfrak{g}-complete. The analogous result is obtained on every Stein manifold with Varolin's density property.
