We study codimension one smooth foliations with Morse type singularities on closed ma-nifolds. We obtain a description of the manifold in case the number of centers in greater then the number of saddles. This result relies on and extends previous results of Reeb (for foliations having only centers) and Ells-Kuiper (for…

In this paper we find sufficient conditions for the vanishing of the Morse-Novikov cohomology on Riemannian foliations. We work out a Bochner technique for twisted cohomological complexes, obtaining corresponding vanishing results. Also, we generalize for our setting vanishing results from the case of closed Riemannian…

We study codimension one (transversally oriented) foliations $\fa$ on oriented closed manifolds MM having non-empty compact singular set $\sing(\fa)$ which is locally defined by Bott-Morse functions. We prove that if the transverse type of $\fa$ at each singular point is a center and $\fa$ has a compact leaf with fini…

In case of the heat flow on the free loop space of a closed Riemannian manifold non-triviality of Morse homology for semi-flows is established by constructing a natural isomorphism to singular homology of the loop space. The construction is also new in finite dimensions. The main idea is to build a Morse filtration usi…

This paper presents a natural extension to foliated spaces of the following result due to Gromov : the h-principle for open, invariant differential relations is valid on open manifolds. The definition of openness for foliated spaces adopted here involves a certain type of Morse functions. Consequences concerning the pr…

Let MM be a smooth manifold and let $\F$ be a codimension one, CC^\infty foliation on MM, with isolated singularities of Morse type. The study and classification of pairs $(M,\F)$ is a challenging (and difficult) problem. In this setting, a classical result due to Reeb \cite{Reeb} states that a manifold admitting a …

The paper introduces foliated open books for contact 3-manifolds with boundary foliations.

problem Studying contact manifolds with convex boundary using finer tools.
method Developed a new type of open book decomposition with a specified characteristic foliation on the boundary.
result Established the uniqueness and existence of foliated open books and their equivalence to other models.

We introduce a new type of boundary for proper geodesic spaces, called the Morse boundary, that is constructed with rays that identify the "hyperbolic directions" in that space. This boundary is a quasi-isometry invariant and thus produces a well-defined boundary for any finitely generated group. In the case of a prope…

We study codimension one foliations with singularities defined locally by Bott-Morse functions on closed oriented manifolds. We carry to this setting the classical concepts of holonomy of invariant sets and stability, and prove a stability theorem in the spirit of the local stability theorem of Reeb. This yields, among…

We summarize the foliation approach to N=1{\cal N}=1 compactifications of eleven-dimensional supergravity on eight-manifolds MM down to AdS3\mathrm{AdS}_3 spaces for the case when the internal part ξξ of the supersymmetry generator is chiral on some proper subset W{\cal W} of MM. In this case, a topological no-go theo…

The basic cohomology of a Riemannian foliation on a complete manifold with all leaves closed is the cohomology of the leaf space. In this paper we introduce various methods to compute the basic cohomology in the presence of both closed and non-closed leaves in the simply-connected case (or more generally for Killing fo…

We consider the dynamics of vector fields on three-manifolds which are constrained to lie within a plane field, such as occurs in nonholonomic dynamics. On compact manifolds, such vector fields force dynamics beyond that of a gradient flow, except in cases where the underlying manifold is topologically simple. Furtherm…

A new distance measure for circular Heegaard splittings helps understand knot exteriors.

problem Understanding the structure of knot exteriors using circular Heegaard splittings.
method Defining and analyzing circular distance for circular Heegaard splittings.
result Circular distance bounds properties of knot exteriors, like the uniqueness of minimal-genus Seifert surfaces.

We prove that, like the Seiberg-Witten monopole homology, the Heegaard Floer homology for a three-manifold determines its Thurston norm. As a consequence, we show that knot Floer homology detects the genus of a knot. This leads to new proofs of certain results previously obtained using Seiberg-Witten monopole Floer hom…

For Morse-Smale pairs on a smooth, closed manifold the Morse-Smale-Witten chain complex can be defined. The associated Morse homology is isomorphic to the singular homology of the manifold and yields the classical Morse relations for Morse functions. A similar approach can be used to define homological invariants for i…
