His more significant results include: * The proof that every Haefliger structure on a manifold can be integrated to a foliation (this implies, in particular that every manifold with zero Euler characteristic admits a foliation of codimension one).
In 2013, Dürr et al. suggested that the required foliation could be covariantly determined by the wave function. citation The relation between nonlocality and preferred foliation can be better understood as follows.
Structural foliation of the areas stratigraphy predominantly dips steeply to the east but localised inflections are common and structural orientation can vary between moderately (50-75°) easterly to moderately westerly dipping.
Another approach is given in the work of Dürr et al. citation in which they use Bohm-Dirac models and a Lorentz-invariant foliation of space-time.
A very strong foliation is called " slaty cleavage ".
Contortion or crumbling of the foliation is by no means uncommon; splitting faces are undulose or puckered.
Essentials of Geology, 3rd Ed, Stephen Marshak Foliation may not correspond to the original sedimentary layering, but instead is in planes perpendicular to the direction of metamorphic compression.
For example, an F 2 fold should have an S 2 axial foliation.
Geological foliation (metamorphic arrangement in layers) with medium to large grained flakes in a preferred sheetlike orientation is called schistosity.
He uses this generalized probabilistic interpretation to formulate a relativistic-covariant version of de Broglie–Bohm theory without introducing a preferred foliation of space-time.
In cases where there is a bedding-plane foliation caused by burial metamorphism or diagenesis this may be enumerated as S0a.
Stretching lineations may be difficult to quantify, especially in highly stretched ductile rocks where minimal foliation information is preserved.
The crystalline structure of mica forms layers that can be split or delaminated into thin sheets usually causing foliation in rocks.
This approach still requires a foliation of space-time.
This branch of structural geology deals mainly with the orientation, deformation and relationships of stratigraphy (bedding), which may have been faulted, folded or given a foliation by some tectonic event.
