Abstract
We prove that if $F$ is a foliation of a compact manifold $M$ with all leaves compact submanifolds, and the transverse saturated category of $F$ is finite, then the leaf space $M/F$ is compact Hausdorff. The proof is surprisingly delicate, and is based on some new observations about the geometry of compact foliations. The transverse saturated category of a compact Hausdorff foliation is always finite, so we obtain a new characterization of the compact Hausdorff foliations among the compact foliations as those with finite transverse saturated category.
