Survey on foliations and diffeomorphism groups.

Study foliations on Riemannian manifolds with specific vector fields, focusing on geometric properties.

Study constructs non-funnel foliations in 3D manifolds.

This paper compares two invariants of foliated manifolds which seem to measure the non-Hausdorffness of the leaf space: the transversal length on the fundamental group and the foliated Gromov norm on the homology. We consider foliations with the property that the set of singular simplices transverse to the foliation sa…

Study properties of semi-symmetric Lorentzian spaces, foliated manifolds.

It is known that, for a regular riemannian foliation on a compact manifold, the properties of its basic cohomology (non-vanishing of the top-dimensional group and Poincaré Duality) and the tautness of the foliation are closely related. If we consider singular riemannian foliations, there is little or no relation betwee…

The study examines spacelike foliations on Lorentz manifolds under specific conditions.

A contact foliation is a foliation endowed with a leafwise contact structure. In this remark we explain a turbulisation procedure that allows us to prove that tightness is not a homotopy invariant property for contact foliations.

Let F be a foliation in a closed 3-manifold with negatively curved fundamental group and suppose that F is almost transverse to a quasigeodesic pseudo-Anosov flow. We show that the leaves of the foliation in the universal cover extend continuously to the sphere at infinity, hence the limit sets are continuous images of…

Some properties of Riemannian foliations on closed manifolds are generalized to compact equicontinuous foliated spaces. For instance, it is proved that all holonomy covers of the leaves are quasi-isometric to each other.

Study on tautness tensor for Riemannian foliations.

Let (M, F) be a compact codimension-one foliated manifold whose leaves are equipped with Riemannian metrics, and consider continuous functions on M that are harmonic along the leaves of F . If every such function is constant on leaves we say that (M, F) has the Liouville property. Our main result is that codimension-on…

Paper confirms conjecture for PL foliations of codimension 2.

We investigate the properties of a modulus of a foliation on a Riemannian manifold. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an extremal function and state some of its properties. We obtain the integral formula which, in a sense, combines the integral over the manifold with integral over the lea…

Non-unimodular foliations have specific geometric properties.

We give a survey of the approaches to classifying foliations, starting with the Haefliger classifying spaces and the various results and examples about the secondary classes of foliations. Various dynamical properties of foliations are introduced and discussed, including expansion rate, local entropy, and orbit growth …

The paper examines how isoparametric foliations affect the Pompeiu property in compact Riemannian manifolds.

Study topological properties of foliations induced by closed 1-forms on orbifolds.

Study on twisted Dolbeault cohomology in Kähler foliations.

In this work, we study Lie groupoids equipped with multiplicative foliations and the corresponding infinitesimal data. We determine the infinitesimal counterpart of a multiplicative foliation in terms of its core and sides together with a partial connection satisfying special properties, giving rise to the concept of I…

Defines basic Albanese maps for foliated Riemannian manifolds.

Anosov maps study with new Banach space and foliation method.

We study groups of germs of complex diffeomorphisms having a property called irreducibility. The notion is motivated by the similar property of the fundamental group of the complement of na irreducible hypersurface in the complex projective space. Natural examples of such groups of germ maps are given by holonomy group…

Constructs deformations of Vaisman manifolds preserving foliations.

By a classical result of Darboux, a foliation of a Riemannian surface has the Graves property (also known as the strong evolution property) if and only if the foliation comes from a Liouville net. A similar result of Blaschke says that a pair of orthogonal foliations has the Ivory property if and only if they form a Li…

We describe several methods to construct minimal foliations by hyperbolic surfaces on closed 3-manifolds, and discuss the properties of the examples thus obtained.

We obtain a local classification of complex homothetic foliations on Kaehler manifolds by complex curves. This is used to construct almost Kaehler, Ricci-flat metrics subject to additional curvature properties.

We study the Hochschild homology groups of the algebra of complete symbols on a foliated manifold $(M,F)$. The first step is to relate these groups to the Poisson homology of $(M,F)$ and of other related foliated manifolds. We then establish several general properties of the Poisson homology groups of foliated manifold…

We give an example of a codimension-one foliation which is transversely of class C^1 and which does not satisfy the "Local Minimal Set" property.

In this work we study the geometric properties of spacelike foliations by hypersurfaces on a Lorentz manifold. We find an equation that relates the foliation with the ambient manifold and apply it to investigate conditions for the leaves being totally umbilical or geodesic. Using the Maximum principle with the mentione…

We study properties of the mean curvature one-form and its holomorphic and antiholomorphic cousins on a transverse Kähler foliation. If the mean curvature of the foliation is automorphic, then there are some restrictions on basic cohomology similar to that on Kähler manifolds, such as the requirement that the odd basic…

We give a notion of entropy for general gemetric structures, which generalizes well-known notions of topological entropy of vector fields and geometric entropy of foliations, and which can also be applied to singular objects, e.g. singular foliations, singular distributions, and Poisson structures. We show some basic p…

The paper studies affine manifolds with linear foliations and their topological properties.

We construct a $T$-axisymmetric, spacelike, spherically symmetric, constant mean curvature hypersurfaces foliation in the Kruskal extension with properties that the mean curvature varies in each slice and ranges from minus infinity to plus infinity. This family of hypersurfaces extends the CMC foliation discussions pos…

Study on cohomology of singular foliations with localization results.

Study of singular foliations of b^k-type and their geometric properties.

Proves existence of sphere foliations with prescribed mean curvature on Riemannian manifolds.

A taut foliation of a hyperbolic 3-manifold has the continuous extension property for leaves in almost every direction; that is, for each leaf of the universal cover of the foliation and almost every geodesic ray in the leaf, the limit of the ray in the universal cover of the 3-manifold is a well-defined point in the i…

New theorems on Hodge numbers and Kähler structures derived from complex differential forms.

Classifies domains critical for heat content and exit-time moments.

We study here the action of subgroups of PSL(2,R) on the space of harmonic functions on the unit disc bounded by a common constant, as well as the relationship this action has with the foliated Liouville problem: Given a foliation of a compact manifold by Riemannian leaves and a leafwise harmonic continuous function on…

This paper explores the conjecture that the following are equivalent for rational homology 3-spheres: having left-orderable fundamental group, having non-minimal Heegaard Floer homology, and admitting a co-orientable taut foliation. In particular, it adds further evidence in favor of this conjecture by studying these t…

The Whitehead link exterior lacks most Euler class taut foliations.

This paper introduces a new type of open book decomposition for a contact three-manifold with a specified characteristic foliation $\mathcal{F}_ξ$ on its boundary. These \textit{foliated open books} offer a finer tool for studying contact manifolds with convex boundary than existing models, as the boundary foliation ca…

In this paper we study singular riemannian foliations that have sections,i.e., totally geodesic complete immersed submanifolds that meet each leaf orthogonally and whose dimensions are the codimensions of the regular leaves. We prove here that the restriction of the foliation to a slice of a leaf is diffeomorphic to an…

Thirty years after the birth of foliations in the 1950's, André Haefliger has introduced a special property satisfied by holonomy pseudogroups of foliations on compact manifolds, called compact generation. Up to now, this is the only general property known about holonomy on compact manifolds. In this article, we give a…

Study material evolution using groupoids to track intrinsic properties.

Let F be a Kähler foliation on a compact Riemannian manifold M. we study the properties of infinitesimal automorphisms on (M,F), and in particular we concentrate on the transversal conformal field, transversal projective field and transversally holomorphic field
