PL homeomorphisms of surfaces and codimension 2 PL foliations
View through CrossRef
The Haefliger–Thurston conjecture predicts that Haefliger's classifying space for
$C^r$
-foliations of codimension
$n$
whose normal bundles are trivial is
$2n$
-connected. In this paper, we confirm this conjecture for piecewise linear (PL) foliations of codimension
$2$
. Using this, we use a version of the Mather–Thurston theorem for PL homeomorphisms due to the author to derive new homological properties for PL surface homeomorphisms. In particular, we answer the question of Epstein in dimension
$2$
and prove the simplicity of the identity component of PL surface homeomorphisms.
