Wilking's completeness conjecture for dual foliations

About 6 years old · traced to

Let MM be a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature, and let F\mathcal{F} be a singular Riemannian foliation on MM. The dual foliation is the foliation whose leaf through x∈Mx\in M consists of points joined to xx by curves everywhere perpendicular to the leaves of F\mathcal{F}. Wilking's completeness conjecture. The dual foliation has complete leaves. The conjecture extends known completeness results for orbit decompositions of isometric group actions, compact nonsingular foliations, and fibers of Sharafutdinov retractions; the cited paper proves it for Riemannian foliations on nonnegatively curved symmetric spaces, while the general case remains open.
