Description: 

Abstract:

 

I will present the ideas of a version of  a theorem of Hedlund for compact laminations (or foliations). More precisely: If L is a compact minimal Riemannian lamination by surfaces of negative curvature, we give a sufficient condition for the horocycle flow on its unit tangent bundle to be minimal, in other words every orbit of the flow is dense.
