Canadian mathematical bulletin, Tome 34 (1991) no. 4, pp. 553-558

Résumé

We present first examples of complete transversely affine foliations on compact manifolds with leaves whose closures are not submanifolds. Moreover, we prove that under some additional assumptions the closures of leaves form a singular foliation.
