Lie foliations with symmetric leaves are smoothly conjugate to homogeneous ones.

We prove that (apart from dimension $n=4$), each Riemannian solenoidal lamination with transitive homeomorphism group and leaves isometric to a symmetric space $X$ of noncompact type, is homeomorphic to the inverse limit of the system of finite covers of a compact locally-symmetric $n$-manifold.

Proves conjecture about foliations on curved spaces.

An equifocal submanifold M of a symmetric space N of compact type induces a foliation with singular leaves on N. In this paper we will show how to reconstruct the equifocal foliation starting from one of the singular leaves, the so-called focal manifolds. To be more concrete: The equifocal submanifold is equal to a par…

We present some basic results on a natural Poisson structure on any compact symmetric space. The symplectic leaves of this structure are related to the orbits of the corresponding real semisimple group on the complex flag manifold.

New tools compute index of symmetry in homogeneous fibrations.

We revisit the non-rotating massive BTZ black hole within a pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space context. Using classical symmetric space techniques we find that every such space intrinsically carries a regular Poisson structure whose symplectic leaves are para-hermitian symmetric surfaces. We also obtain a global express…

New solutions found for Yamabe problem on spheres with foliations.

Generalizing results of Chou and Wang \cite{1} we study the flows of the leaves $(M_Θ)_{Θ>0}$ of a foliation of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus \{0\}$ consisting of uniformly convex hypersurfaces in the direction of their outer normals with speeds $-\log(F/f)$. For quite general functions $F$ of the principal curvatures of …

R. Zimmer proved that, on a compact manifold, a foliation with a dense leaf, a suitable leafwise Riemannian symmetric metric and a transverse Lie structure has arithmetic holonomy group. In this work we improve such result for totally geodesic foliations by showing that the manifold itself is arithmetic. This also give…

The paper classifies Sasaki-Einstein orbits in compact Hermitian symmetric spaces.

Study of foliations on symmetric spaces and mean curvature flow results.

We study the index of symmetry of a compact generalized flag manifold M=G/H endowed with an invariant Kaehler structure. When the group G is simple we show that the leaves of symmetry are irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces and we estimate their dimension.

New insights into Einstein hypersurfaces in symmetric spaces.

We prove that any planar 4-web defines a unique projective structure in the plane in such a way that the leaves of the foliations are geodesics of this projective structure. We also find conditions for the projective structure mentioned above to contain an affine symmetric connection, and conditions for a planar 4-web …

A path integral on a link complement of a three-sphere fixes a vector (the "link state") in Chern-Simons theory. The link state can be written in a certain basis with the colored link invariants as its coefficients. We use symmetric webs to systematically compute the colored link invariants, by which we can write down …

In this article we consider solvable hypersurfaces of the form $N \exp(\R H)$ with induced metrics in the symmetric space $M = SL(3,\C)/SU(3)$, where $H$ a suitable unit length vector in the subgroup $A$ of the Iwasawa decomposition $SL(3,\C) = NAK$. Since $M$ is rank $2$, $A$ is $2$-dimensional and we can parametrize …

Symmetric spaces' connections form Lie admissible triple algebras.

A foliation F on a Riemannian manifold M is homogeneous if its leaves coincide with the orbits of an isometric action on M. A foliation F is polar if it admits a section, that is, a connected closed totally geodesic submanifold of M which intersects each leaf of F, and intersects orthogonally at each point of intersect…

In this paper, we investigate the mean curvature flows starting from all non-minimal leaves of the isoparametric foliation given by a certain kind of solvable group action on a symmetric space of non-compact type. We prove that the mean curvature flow starting from each non-minimal leaf of the foliation exists in infin…

In a recent paper we constructed a family of foliated 2-complexes of thin type whose typical leaves have two topological ends. Here we present simpler examples of such complexes that are, in addition, symmetric with respect to an involution and have the smallest possible rank. This allows for constructing a 3-periodic …

Gradient descent with small initialization solves matrix completion without regularization.

If a finite group of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the 3-dimensional torus leaves invariant an oriented, closed, embedded surface of genus g>1 and preserves the orientation of the surface, then its order is bounded from above by 12(g-1). In the present paper we classify (up to conjugation) all such group ac…

The topology of $SU(3)$-representation varieties of the fundamental groups of planar webs so that the meridians are sent to matrices with trace equal to $-1$ are explored, and compared to data coming from spider evaluation of the webs. Corresponding to an evaluation of a web as a spider is a rooted tree. We associate t…

The $k$-nearest neighbor classification method ($k$-NNC) is one of the simplest nonparametric classification methods. The mutual $k$-NN classification method (M$k$NNC) is a variant of $k$-NNC based on mutual neighborship. We propose another variant of $k$-NNC, the symmetric $k$-NN classification method (S$k$NNC) based …

Modified jackknife method improves predictive inference for time series data.

In this paper, we first study the Poisson reductions of controlled Hamiltonian (CH) system and symmetric CH system by controllability distributions. These reductions are the extension of Poisson reductions by distribution for Poisson manifolds to that for phase spaces of CH systems with external force and control. We g…

New insights into compact rank-one ECS manifolds, proving they are bundles over circles.

A compact Polish foliated space is considered. Part of this work studies coarsely quasi-isometric invariants of leaves in some residual saturated subset when the foliated space is transitive. In fact, we also use "equi-" versions of this kind of invariants, which means that the definition is satisfied with the same con…

Irreducible isoparametric foliations of arbitrary codimension q on complex projective spaces CP^n are classified, except if n=15 and q=1. Remarkably, there are noncongruent examples that pull back under the Hopf map to congruent foliations on the sphere. Moreover, there exist many inhomogeneous isoparametric foliations…

Proposes a new algorithm to estimate invariant subspaces across multilayer networks.

Study on the topology of leaves in singular Riemannian foliations.

We investigate the coarse homology of leaves in foliations of compact manifolds. This is motivated by the observation that the non-leaves constructed by Schweitzer and by Zeghib all have non-finitely generated coarse homology. This led us to ask whether the coarse homology of leaves in a compact manifold always has to …

The paper explores variational problems on Riemannian manifolds with special foliations, proving existence results.

Study shows conditions for continuity of foliated homeomorphisms action on space of leaves.

The current article stems from our study on the asymptotic behavior of holomorphic isometric embeddings of the Poincaré disk into bounded symmetric domains. As a first result we prove that any holomorphic curve exiting the boundary of a bounded symmetric domain $Ω$ must necessarily be asymptotically totally geodesic. A…

Defines foliation criterion for dense isoperiodic leaves in rank 1 affine orbifolds.

Compact ECS manifolds have a simple topological structure.

For a singular Riemannian foliation whose leaves are properly embedded, we show in the first part of this article the existence of global tubular neighbourhoods, and we develop a global description of the foliation as stratification by types of leaves. The second part deals with the further restriction to a foliation w…

We prove that for a generic $3$-dimensional integrable rolling distribution of contact elements (excluding developable seed and isotropic developable leaves) isometric correspondence of leaves of a general nature (independent of the shape of the seed) requires the Bäcklund transformation.

Extends foliation results to singular cases.

New examples of rigid Lie foliations with dense leaves found.

Compact foliations preserve entropy if leaves are strictly convex projective.

Let f:M->M be a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism such that all of its center leaves are compact. We prove that Sullivan's example of a circle foliation that has arbitrary long leaves cannot be the center foliation of f. This is proved by thorough study of the accessible boundaries of the center-stable and the center…
