Closure of singular foliations: the proof of Molino’s conjecture

Abstract

In this paper we prove the conjecture of Molino that for every singular Riemannian foliation $(M,{\mathcal{F}})$, the partition $\overline{{\mathcal{F}}}$ given by the closures of the leaves of ${\mathcal{F}}$ is again a singular Riemannian foliation.
