Explore: Foliations (mathematics)

In mathematics, tautness is a rigidity property of foliations. A taut foliation is a codimension 1 foliation of a closed manifold with the property that

codimension of the foliation, as long as f maps leaves to leaves. The Kronecker foliations of the 2-torus are the suspension foliations of the rotations

In mathematics, a Lagrangian foliation or polarization is a foliation of a symplectic manifold, whose leaves are Lagrangian submanifolds. It is one of
