On foliations admitting a transverse similarity structure
摘要
We present a “conceptual” approach to Kourganoff’s results on foliations with a transverse similarity structure. We provide a geometric proof, based on the linearization of the holonomy and accessible to researchers in conformal geometry, of these results. In particular, we recover the main theorem classifying the holonomy of closed, non-exact Weyl structures on compact manifolds, from which the notion of locally conformally product structures arose. We also extract from the proof several results on foliations admitting locally metric transverse connections.
