Abstract

We show that the horocycle foliations on a compact $C^{\infty}$ (or even $C^{\omega}$) surface of non-positive curvature can fail to be Lipschitz, even if the curvature vanishes only along a single closed geodesic. We calculate the Hölder exponents of these foliations at vectors tangent to geodesics along which the curvature vanishes.
