LOSIK CLASSES FOR CODIMENSION-ONE FOLIATIONS

LOSIK CLASSES FOR CODIMENSION-ONE FOLIATIONS

Following Losik's approach to Gelfand's formal geometry, certain characteristic classes for codimension-one foliations coming from the Gelfand-Fuchs cohomology are considered. Sufficient conditions for non-triviality in terms of dynamical properties of generators of the holonomy groups are found. The non-triviality for the Reeb foliations is shown; this is in contrast with …
