On compact leaves of a Morse form foliation. (English) Zbl 1240.57011
The author presents a short and nice study of co-dimension 1 foliations defined by closed 1-forms \(\omega\) arising as differentials of Morse functions (non-degenerate singularities) on a compact, oriented, connected smooth \(n\)-dimensional manifold \(M\). She gives criteria for such foliations to have a compact leaf, to have \(k\) homologically independent compact leaves, and to have no minimal components.
