A guide to the qualitative theory of foliations. It features topics including: analysis on foliated spaces, characteristic classes of foliations and foliated manifolds. It is suitable as a supplementary text for a topics course at the advanced graduate level.
This is the second of two volumes on the qualitative theory of foliations. For this volume, the authors have selected three special topics: analysis on foliated spaces, characteristic classes of foliations, and foliated manifolds. Each of these is an example of deep interaction between foliation theory and some other highly-developed area of mathematics. In all cases, the authors present useful, in-depth introductions, which lead to further study using the extensive available literature. This comprehensive volume has something to offer a broad spectrum of readers: from beginners to advanced students to professional researchers. It contains exercises and many illustrations. The book would make an elegant supplementary text for a topics course at the advanced graduate level. ""Foliations I"" is Volume 23 in the AMS series, ""Graduate Studies in Mathematics"".
