A measured laminations on the universal hyperbolic solenoid $§$ is, by our definition, a leafwise measured lamination with appropriate continuity for the transverse variations. An earthquakes on theuniversal hyperbolic solenoid $§$ is uniquely determined by a measured lamination on $§$; it is a leafwise earthquake with…

We study the group of leafwise holomorphic smooth automorphisms of Reeb components of leafwise complex foliation which are obtained by a certain Hopf construction. In particular, in the case where the boundary holonomy is infinitely tangent to the identity, we determine the structure of the group of leafwise holomorphi…

Proves finite measure implies product structure for certain discrete subgroups.

Relations between parameter rigidity of locally free Lie group actions on closed manifolds and the 1st leafwise cohomology of the orbit foliations are discussed. Some computational results of the leafwise cohomology are included.

We review the standard Hopf construction of Reeb components with leafwise complex structure and almost determine the group of leafwise holomorphic smooth automorphisms for Reeb components of certain type in the case of complex leaf dimension one. In particular, it contains an infinite dimensional vector space.

Geometric conditions are given so that the leafwise reduced cohomology is of infinite dimension, specially for foliations with dense leaves on closed manifolds. The main new definition involved is the intersection number of subfoliations with "appropriate coefficients". The leafwise reduced cohomology is also described…

The study proves leafwise flat forms for Gauduchon metrics on Inoue-Bombieri surfaces.

Mitsumatsu constructed leafwise symplectic structures of certain codimension one foliations of the 5-sphere. This inspired the present author to improve his result on convergence of contact structure to foliation. We describe convergence of contact strcture to leafwise symplectic foliation by means of confoliation equi…

This is the second paper of a series dedicated to the study of Poisson structures of compact types (PMCTs). In this paper, we focus on regular PMCTs, exhibiting a rich transverse geometry. We show that their leaf spaces are integral affine orbifolds. We prove that the cohomology class of the leafwise symplectic form va…

We extend the notion of the geometric entropy of foliation to foliated manifolds equipped with leafwise Finsler structure. We study the relation between the geometric entropy and the topological entropy of the holonomy pseudogroup. The case of foliated manifold with leafwise Randers structure. In this case the estimate…

A measured solenoid is a compact laminated space endowed with a transversal measure. The De Rham $L^2$-cohomology of the solenoid is defined by using differential forms which are smooth in the leafwise directions and $L^2$ in the transversal direction. We develop the theory of harmonic forms for Riemannian measured sol…

For any Riemannian foliation F on a closed manifold M with an arbitrary bundle-like metric, leafwise heat flow of differential forms is proved to preserve smoothness on M at infinite time. This result and its proof have consequences about the space of bundle-like metrics on M, about the dimension of the space of leafwi…

We prove that the higher harmonic signature of an even dimensional oriented Riemannian foliation of a compact Riemannian manifold with coefficients in a leafwise U(p,q)-flat complex bundle is a leafwise homotopy invariant. We also prove the leafwise homotopy invariance of the twisted higher Betti classes. Consequences …

We study primary and secondary invariants of leafwise Dirac operators on foliated bundles. Given such an operator, we begin by considering the associated regular self-adjoint operator $D_m$ on the maximal Connes-Skandalis Hilbert module and explain how the functional calculus of $D_m$ encodes both the leafwise calculus…

The aim of this paper is to show that Lawson's foliation on the 5-sphere admits a smooth leafwise symplectic structure. The main part of the construction is to show that the Fermat type cubic surface admits an end-periodic symplectic structure.

In this paper, we give concrete descriptions of leafwise cohomology groups and show the regularized determinant expression of the dynamical zeta function for fiber bundles over $S^{1}$. As applications, we show a functional equation and some formulas for special values of the dynamical zeta function.

Paper shows zero Rosenberg index for certain foliated manifolds.

This is a note of the author's lectures at "Advanced courses in Foliation" in the research program "Foliation", which was held at the Centre de Recerca Mathematica in the May of 2010. In this note, we discuss about the relationship between deformation of actions of Lie groups and the leafwise cohomology of the orbit fo…

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…

New findings on leafwise quasi-geodesic foliations in 3-manifolds.

Let $\mathcal F$ be a Lie foliation on a closed manifold $M$ with structural Lie group $G$. Its transverse Lie structure can be considered as a transverse action $Φ$ of $G$ on $(M,\mathcal F)$; i.e., an ``action'' which is defined up to leafwise homotopies. This $Φ$ induces an action $Φ^*$ of $G$ on the reduced leafwis…

A Riemmanian foliated dynamical system of 3-dimension $(\mathrm{RFDS}^{3})$ is a closed Riemannian 3-manifold with additional structures: foliation, dynamical system. In the context of arithmetic topology, it is a geometric/analytic analogue of an arithmetic scheme with a conjectural dynamical system suggested by C. De…

The automorphisms group of the 3-dimensional Reeb component with complex leaves is computed in the case where the component is obtained by the Hopf construction and the holonomy of the boundary leaf is not tangent to the identity to the infinite order. Combined with a previous work, for 3-dimensional Reeb components ob…

For every diffeomorphism $\varphi:M\to N$ between 3--dimensional Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N$ there are in general locally two 2--dimensional distributions $D_{\pm}$ such that $\varphi$ is conformal on both of them. We state necessary and sufficient conditions for a distribution to be one of $D_{\pm}$. These are al…

We review the standard Hopf construction of Reeb components with leafwise complex structure and determine the group of leafwise holomorphic smooth automorphisms for tame Reeb components in the case of complex leaf dimension one. For this, we solve the Schröder type functional equation on the half line for expanding dif…

Any leafwise connection on a fibre bundle over a foliated manifold is proved to come from a connection on this fibre bundle.

Let $X_0$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary endowed with a oriented, measured even dimensional foliation with purely transverse boundary. Let $X$ be the manifold with cylinder attached and extended foliation. We prove that the $L^2$--measured index of a Dirac type operator is well defined and the following…

Riemann Poisson manifolds were introduced by the author in [1] and studied in more details in [2]. Kähler-Riemann foliations form an interesting subset of the Riemannian foliations with remarkable properties (see [3]). In this paper we will show that to give a regular Riemann Poisson structure on a manifold $M$ is equi…

Extends Dirac operator results to foliations with invariant measures.

Let $(M,ω)$ be a geometrically bounded symplectic manifold, $N\subseteq M$ a closed, regular (i.e. "fibering") coisotropic submanifold, and $φ:M\to M$ a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism. The main result of this article is that the number of leafwise fixed points of $φ$ is bounded below by the sum of the $Z_2$-Betti numbers o…

We show that, for any regular Poisson manifold, there is an injective natural linear map from the first leafwise cohomology space into the first Poisson cohomology space which maps the Reeb class of the symplectic foliation to the modular class of the Poisson manifold. The Riemannian interpretation of those classes wil…

Geometric quantization of a Poisson manifold need not imply quantization of its symplectic leaves. We provide the leafwise geometric quantization of a Poisson manifold, seen as a foliated one, whose quantum algebra restricted to each leaf is quantized.

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.

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…

Let $M$ be a closed oriented $4$-manifold admitting a rank-$2$ oriented foliation with a metric of leafwise positive scalar curvature. If $b^+>1$, then we will show that the Seiberg-Witten invariant vanishes for all \spinc structures.

It is a well-known and elementary fact that a holomorphic function on a compact complex manifold without boundary is necessarily constant. The purpose of the present article is to investigate whether, or to what extent, a similar property holds in the setting of holomorphically foliated spaces.

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…

Taut foliations map leaves to branched 2-sphere covers.

We answer the natural question: when are a regular Poisson structure along with a complex structure transverse to its symplectic leaves induced by generalized complex structure? The leafwise symplectic form and transverse complex structure determine an obstruction class in a certain cohomology, which vanishes if and on…

In this paper we introduce a generalisation of the notion of holonomy for connections over a bundle map on a principal fibre bundle. We prove that, as in the standard theory on principal connections, the holonomy groups are Lie subgroups of the structure group of the principle fibre bundle and we also derive a straight…
