On the group of diffeomorphisms of foliated manifolds

Abstract

Now the foliations theory is intensively developing branch of modern differential geometry, there are numerous researches on the foliation theory. The purpose of our paper is study the structure of the group DiffF(M) of diffeomorphisms and the group IsoF(M) of isometries of foliated manifold (M,F). It is shown the group DiffF(M) is closed subgroup of the group Diff(M) of diffeomorphisms of the manifold M in compact-open topology and also it is proven the group IsoF(M) is Lie group. It is introduced new topology on DiffF(M) which depends on foliation F and called F- compact open topology. It's proven that some subgroups of the group DiffF(M) are topological groups with F-compact open topology.
