A λ-lemma for foliations

We show that a C 0 codimension one foliation with C 1 leaves F of a closed manifold is minimal if there are a foliation G transverse to F , and a diffeomorphism f preserving both foliations, such that every leaf of F intersects every leaf of G and f expands G . We use this result to study of Anosov actions on closed manifolds.
