Bounded distance geodesic foliations in Riemannian planes

A conjecture of Burns and Knieper (1991) asks whether a 2-plane with a metric without conjugate points, and with a geodesic foliation whose lines are at bounded Hausdorff distance, is necessarily flat. We prove this conjecture in two cases: under the hypothesis that the plane admits total curvature,...
