Abstract
In this paper we generalize the Local Removable Singularity Theorem in [16] for minimal laminations to the case of weak -laminations (with constant) in a punctured ball of a Riemannian three-manifold. We also obtain a curvature estimate for any weak CMC foliation (with possibly varying constant mean curvature from leaf to leaf) of a compact Riemannian three-manifold with boundary solely in terms of a bound of the absolute sectional curvature of and of the distance to the boundary of . We then apply these results to classify weak CMC foliations of and with a closed countable set of singularities.
