In this work we show that if the Godbillon--Vey class GV(F) \\in H^3(M) is non-zero, then F has a hyperbolic resilient leaf. Our approach is based on methods of C^1-dynamical systems, and does not use the classification theory of C^2-foliations. We first prove that for a codimension--one C^1-foliation with non-trivial Godbillon measure, the set of infinitesimally expanding points E(F) has positive Lebesgue measure. We then prove that if E(F) has positive measure for a C^1-foliation F, then F must have a hyperbolic resil"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1403.0494","kind":"arxiv","version":2},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
