Leaf topology of minimal hyperbolic foliations with non simply-connected generic leaf
Abstract: A noncompact (oriented) surface satisfies the condition $(\star)$ if their isolated ends are ''accumulated by genus''. We show that every surface satisfying this condition is homeomorfic to the leaf of a minimal codimension one foliation on a closed $3$-manifold whose generic leaf is not simply connected. Moreover, the above result is also true for any prescription of a countable family of noncompact surfaces (satisfying $(\star)$): they can coexist in the same minimal codimension one foliation as above. All the given examples are hyperbolic foliations, meaning that they admit a leafwise Riemannian metric of constant negative curvature.
