Quasi-Complementary Foliations and the Mather-Thurston Theorem

Abstract

We establish a form of the h-principle for the existence of foliations quasi-complementary to a given one; the same methods also provide a proof of the classical Mather-Thurston theorem.

Some notes and references have been added at the end of the introduction and at the beginning of section 6. To appear in "Geometry & Topology"
