A universal Riemannian foliated space
Abstract
It is proved that the isometry classes of pointed connected complete Riemannian -manifolds form a Polish space, , with the topology described by the convergence of manifolds. This space has a canonical partition into sets defined by varying the distinguished point into each manifold. The locally non-periodic manifolds define an open dense subspace , which becomes a foliated space with the restriction of the canonical partition. Its leaves without holonomy form the subspace defined by the non-periodic manifolds. Moreover the leaves have a natural Riemannian structure so that becomes a Riemannian foliated space, which is universal among all sequential Riemannian foliated spaces satisfying certain property called covering-continuity. is used to characterize the realization of complete connected Riemannian manifolds as dense leaves of covering-continuous compact sequential Riemannian foliated spaces.
