Abstract

We consider a class of singular foliations in the sense of Androulidakis and Skandalis that we call transverse order kk foliations. These have a finite number of leaves: one hypersurface (the singular leaf) together with the components of its complement (open leaves). The positive integer parameter kk encodes the "order of tangency" of the leafwise vector fields to LL. We show that a loop in the singular leaf induces a well-defined holonomy transformation at the level of (k1)(k-1)-jets. The resulting holonomy invariant can be used to give a complete classification of these foliations and obtain concrete descriptions of their associated groupoids and algebras.
