Linear foliations on affine manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we study affine manifolds endowed with linear foliations. These are foliations defined by vector subspaces invariant by the linear holonomy. We show that an nn-dimensional compact, complete, and oriented affine manifold endowed with a codimension 11 linear foliation F{\cal F} is homeomophic to the nn-dimensional torus if the leaves of F{\cal F} are simply connected. Let (M,M)(M,\nabla_M) be a 33-dimensional compact affine manifold endowed with a codimension 11 linear foliation. We prove that (M,M)(M,\nabla_M) has a finite cover which is homeomorphic to the total space of a bundle over the circle if its developing map is injective, and has a convex image.
