Abstract

A noncompact (oriented) surface satisfies the condition ()(\star) if their isolated ends are ''accumulated by genus''. We show that every surface satisfying this condition is homeomorfic to the leaf of a minimal codimension one foliation on a closed 33-manifold whose generic leaf is not simply connected. Moreover, the above result is also true for any prescription of a countable family of noncompact surfaces (satisfying ()(\star)): they can coexist in the same minimal codimension one foliation as above. All the given examples are hyperbolic foliations, meaning that they admit a leafwise Riemannian metric of constant negative curvature.
