Abstract

Consider the natural action of 1-jets of the holonomy pseudogroup H on the transverse tangent bundle of a C1 compact foliated manifold (M, ℱ). If these 1-jets act in an equicontinuous way then it is possible to use a C1 ‘Ellis semi-group’ technique, as applied to a neighborhood of the identity in H, to produce a sheaf of compact local transformation groups whose orbits are the topological closures of leaves of ℱ. This action on the transverse manifold to ℱ then decomposes M into a union of minimal sets. These minimal sets we show to be C1 embedded submanifolds of M and the action of H on them is locally transitive.
