Study compatible and associated metrics for contact-symplectic structures, showing geodesic integral curves and minimal leaf properties.
First, we survey some results on classical and quantum dynamical systems associated with transverse Dirac operators on Riemannian foliations. Then we illustrate these results by two examples of Riemannian foliations: a foliation given by the fibers of a fibration and a linear foliation on the two-dimensional torus.
In a previous paper ([1]), we associated a holonomy groupoid and a C*-algebra to any singular foliation (M,F). Using these, we construct the associated pseudodifferential calculus. This calculus gives meaning to a Laplace operator of any singular foliation F on a compact manifold M, and we show that it can be naturally…
Defines connections for singularly foliated bundles.
The purpose of the article is to study a foliation associated to a lattice-equivariant harmonic map of small rank from a complex ball to another. The result is related to rigidity of some complex ball quotients.
Defines and calculates foliation homology from flows.
Study on tautness tensor for Riemannian foliations.
A regular Poisson manifold can be described as a foliated space carrying a tangentially symplectic form. Examples of foliations are produced here that are not induced by any Poisson structure although all the basic obstructions vanish.
Study Veech groups in fibered 3-manifolds, proving no parabolics for fibers.
Integral formulae for foliated Riemannian manifolds provide obstructions for existence of foliations or compact leaves of them with given geometric properties. Recently, we associated a new Riemannian metric to a codimension-one foliated Finsler space and proved integral formulae for general and for Randers spaces. In …
Consider a complex analytic manifold and a coherent Lie subalgebra $\shi$ of the Lie algebra of complex vector fields on . By using a natural $\shd_X$-module $\shm_\shi$ naturally associated to $\shi$ and the ring (in the derived sense) $\rhom[\shd_X](\shm_\shi,\shm_\shi)$, we associate integers which measure th…
Using the method of Witten deformation, we express the basic index of a transversal Dirac operator over a Riemannian foliation as the sum of integers associated to the critical leaf closures of a given foliated bundle map.
For fibred boundary and fibred cusp metrics, Hausel, Hunsicker, and Mazzeo identified the space of harmonic forms of fixed degree with the images of maps between intersection cohomology groups of an associated stratified space obtained by collapsing the fibres of the fibration at infinity onto its base. In the pr…
The paper explores universal circles for Anosov foliations and their uniqueness.
The interior Kasparov product formula is extended for foliated ρ-classes on Riemannian bundles.
New method for foliated bundles using holonomy groupoids.
Non-unimodular foliations have specific geometric properties.
We prove several vanishing theorems for a class of generalized elliptic genera on foliated manifolds, by using classical equivariant index theory. The main techniques are the use of the Jacobi theta-functions and the construction of a new class of elliptic operators associated to foliations.
A leafwise Hodge decomposition was proved by Sanguiao for Riemannian foliations of bounded geometry. Its proof is explained again in terms of our study of bounded geometry for Riemannian foliations. It is used to associate smoothing operators to foliated flows, and describe their Schwartz kernels. All of this is extend…
We construct spectral triples in a sense of noncommutative differential geometry, associated with a Riemannian foliation on a compact manifold, and describe its dimension spectrum.
In this paper we generalize the basic Lichnerowicz cohomology on transversally locally conformally Kählerian foliations and we study its relation with basic Bott-Chern cohomology and --th basic Dolbeault cohomology with values in the associated foliated weight bundle.
New proof associates partitions to isotopic pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms.
We use adiabatic limits to study foliated manifolds. The Bott connection naturally shows up as the adiabatic limit of Levi-Civita connections. As an application, we then construct certain natural elliptic operators associated to the foliation and present a direct geometric proof of a vanshing theorem of Connes[Co], whi…
Associated with isoparametric foliations of unit spheres, there are two classes of minimal surfaces minimal isoparametric hypersurfaces and focal submanifolds. By virtue of their rich structures, we find new series of minimizing cones. They are cones over focal submanifolds and cones over suitable products among th…
Develops deformation theory for symplectic foliations using -algebras.
We prove a cyclic Lefschetz formula for foliations. To this end, we define a notion of equivariant cyclic cohomology and show that its expected pairing with K-theory is well defined. This enables to associate to any invariant transverse current on a compact foliated manifold, a Lefschetz formula for leafwise preserving…
First, we review the notion of a Poisson structure on a noncommutative algebra due to Block-Getzler and Xu and introduce a notion of a Hamiltonian vector field on a noncommutative Poisson algebra. Then we describe a Poisson structure on a noncommutative algebra associated with a transversely symplectic foliation and co…
According to a theorem of Eliashberg and Thurston a -foliation on a closed 3-manifold can be -approximated by contact structures unless all leaves of the foliation are spheres. Examples on the 3-torus show that every neighbourhood of a foliation can contain non-diffeomorphic contact structures. In this paper …
In this paper, we discuss spectral properties of Laplacians associated with an arbitrary smooth distribution on a compact manifold. First, we give a survey of results on generalized smooth distributions on manifolds, Riemannian structures and associated Laplacians. Then, under the assumption that the singular foliation…
We consider hyperbolic and partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. Associated with invariant foliation of these systems, we define some topological invariants and show certain relationships between these topological invariants and the geometric and Lyapunov growths of these foliations. As an applicat…
In this paper we continue the study of spectral properties of Laplacians associated with an arbitrary smooth distribution on a compact manifold, initiated in a previous paper. Under assumption that the singular foliation generated by the distribution is smooth, we prove that the Laplacian associated with the distributi…
We introduce a notion of equivalence for singular foliations - understood as suitable families of vector fields - that preserves their transverse geometry. Associated to every singular foliation there is a holonomy groupoid, by the work of Androulidakis-Skandalis. We show that our notion of equivalence is compatible wi…
The present paper is a continuation of [13], [14] of the authors. Specifically, the paper considers the MD5-foliations associated to connected and simply connected MD5-groups such that their Lie algebras have 4-dimensional commutative derived ideal. In the paper, we give the topological classification of all considered…
A contact pair on a manifold always admits an associated metric for which the two characteristic contact foliations are orthogonal. We show that all these metrics have the same volume element. We also prove that the leaves of the characteristic foliations are minimal with respect to these metrics. We give an example wh…
Characterizes elliptic operators on singular foliations.
In this paper, we define lower dimensional volumes associated to sub-Dirac operators for foliations. In some cases, we compute these lower dimensional volumes. We also prove the Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorems for foliations with or without boundary. As a corollary, we give an explanation of the gravitational action …
Introduces a new equivalence for singular foliations and their groupoids.
Molino's description of Riemannian foliations on compact manifolds is generalized to the setting of compact equicontinuous foliated spaces, in the case where the leaves are dense. In particular, a structural local group is associated to such a foliated space. As an application, we obtain a partial generalization of res…
Paper classifies fibers of fat Riemannian submersions with non-negative curvature.
Given a singular foliation, we attach an "essential isotropy" group to each of its leaves, and show that its discreteness is the integrability obstruction of a natural Lie algebroid over the leaf. We show that a condition ensuring discreteness is the local surjectivity of a transversal exponential map associated with t…
Classification results for complex Riemannian foliations are obtained. For open subsets of irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type, where one has explicit control over the curvature tensor, we completely classify such foliations by studying the infinitesimal model associated to the canonical connection. …
We associate a Lie -algebroid to every resolution of a singular foliation, where we consider a singular foliation as a locally generated -submodule of vector fields on the underlying manifold closed under Lie bracket. Here can be the ring of smooth, holomorphic, or real analytic funct…
The paper introduces foliated open books for contact 3-manifolds with boundary foliations.
We show that any noncompact oriented surface is homeomorphic to the leaf of a minimal foliation of a closed -manifold. These foliations are (or are covered by) suspensions of continuous minimal actions of surface groups on the circle. Moreover, the above result is also true for any prescription of a countable family…
Every singular foliation has an associated topological groupoid, called holonomy groupoid (see arXiv:math/0612370). In this note we exhibit some functorial properties of this assignment: if a foliated manifold is the quotient of a foliated manifold along a surjective submersion w…
In this paper we investigate the spectral sequence associated to a Riemannian foliation which arises naturally on a Vaisman manifold. Using the Betti numbers of the underlying manifold we establish a lower bound for the dimension of some terms of this cohomological object. This way we obtain cohomological obstructions …
