Reidemeister's theorem proved using smooth functions and transversality.

We study the transversal hard Lefschetz theorem on a transversely symplectic foliation. This article extends the results of transversally symplectic flows (H.K.~Pak, "Transversal harmonic theory for transversally symplectic flows", J. Aust. Math. Soc. 84 (2008), 233--245) to the general transversely symplectic foliatio…

In his 1979 paper Trotman proves, using the techniques of the Thom transversality theorem, that under some conditions on the dimensions of the manifolds under consideration, openness of the set of maps transverse to a stratification in the strong (Whitney) topology implies that the stratification is $(a)$-regular. Here…

The abstract discusses transversality for infinite dimensional manifolds.

New theorem extends Hadamard's to transversely affine geometry.

Egorov's theorem for transversally elliptic operators, acting on sections of a vector bundle over a compact foliated manifold, is proved. This theorem relates the quantum evolution of transverse pseudodifferential operators determined by a first order transversally elliptic operator with the (classical) evolution of it…

We study Thom Transversality Theorem using a point of view, suggested by Gromov, which allows to avoid the use of Sard Theorem and gives finer informations on the structure of the set of non-transverse maps.

New theorem allows transverse links to be braided with rational book structure.

Establishes jet transversality for regular maps from flexible manifolds.

We prove a priori estimates for a class of transverse fully nonlinear equations on Sasakian manifolds and give some geometric applications such as the transversion Calabi-Yau theorem for transverse balanced and (strongly) Gauduchon metrics. We also explain that similar results hold on compact oriented, taut, transverse…

In his celebrated paper "Generic projections", John Mather has given a striking transversality theorem and its applications on generic projections. On the other hand, in this paper, two transversality theorems on generic linearly perturbed $C^r$ mappings are shown $(r\geq 1)$. Moreover, some applications of the two the…

New proof of Aubin-Yau theorem for complex non-Kähler manifolds.

Final revision. To appear in the Journal of Differential Geometry. This paper studies knots that are transversal to the standard contact structure in $\reals^3$, bringing techniques from topological knot theory to bear on their transversal classification. We say that a transversal knot type $\cTK$ is {\it transversally…

A transverse knot is a knot that is transverse to the planes of the standard contact structure on real 3-space. In this paper we prove the Markov Theorem for transverse braids, which states that two transverse closed braids that are isotopic as transverse knots are also isotopic as transverse braids. The methods of the…

We obtain a vanishing theorem for the half-kernel of a transverse ${\rm Spin}\sp c$ Dirac operator on a compact manifold endowed with a transversely almost complex Riemannian foliation twisted by a sufficiently large power of a line bundle, whose curvature vanishes along the leaves and is transversely non-degenerate at…

The Wu-Yau theorem is proven for Sasakian manifolds with specific curvature conditions.

We present a definable smooth version of the Thom transversality theorem. We show further that the set of non-transverse definable smooth maps is nowhere dense in the definable smooth topology. Finally, we prove a definable version of a theorem of Trotman which says that the Whitney $(a)$-regularity of a stratification…

We study transversality for Lipschitz-Fredholm maps in the context of bounded Fréchet manifolds. We show that the set of all Lipschitz-Fredholm maps of a fixed index between Fréchet spaces has the transverse stability property. We give a straightforward extension of the Smale transversality theorem by using the general…

The study proves a transverse diameter theorem for Lorentzian foliations.

Proves Poincaré surgery theorem using homotopy theory.

We prove a normal form theorem for Poisson structures around Poisson transversals (also called cosymplectic submanifolds), which simultaneously generalizes Weinstein's symplectic neighborhood theorem from symplectic geometry and Weinstein's splitting theorem. Our approach turns out to be essentially canonical, and as a…

The main result of the paper is Egorov's theorem for transversally elliptic operators on compact foliated manifolds. This theorem is applied to describe the noncommutative geodesic flow in noncommutative geometry of Riemannian foliations.

We prove a generalization of Thom's transversality theorem. It gives conditions under which the jet map $f_*|_Y:Y\subseteq J^r(D,M)\ra J^r(D,N)$ is generically (for $f:M\ra N$) transverse to a submanifold $Z\subseteq J^r(D,N)$. We apply this to study transversality properties of a restriction of a fixed map $g:M\ra P$ …

We study transverse conformal Killing forms on foliations and prove a Gallot-Meyer theorem for foliations. Moreover, we show that on a foliation with $C$-positive normal curvature, if there is a closed basic 1-form $φ$ such that $Δ_Bφ=qCφ$, then the foliation is transversally isometric to the quotient of a $q$-sphere.

Extends transversality to supergeometry, proving stability and genericity.

In Theorem 1.2 of the paper math.GT/0002110 the author claimed to have proved that all transversal knots whose topological knot type is that of an iterated torus knot (we call them cable knots) are transversally simple. That theorem is false, and the Erratum math.GT/0610565 identifies the gap. The purpose of this paper…

We study the transversal wave equation on a compact Riemannian foliated manifold. As applications, we get an Egorov's type theorem for transversally elliptic operators, state a relationship between the singularities of the Fourier transform of the spectrum distribution function of a transversally elliptic operator and …

We show that a transverse link in a contact structure supported by an open book decomposition can be transversely braided. We also generalize Markov's theorem on when the closures of two braids represent (transversely) isotopic links.

Defines transverse symbols for foliated manifolds and proves their K-homology class.

Suppose that $N$ is a smooth manifold with a smooth Riemannian metric $g_0$, and that $Γ$ is a smooth submanifold of $N$. This paper proves that for a generic (in the sense of Baire category) smooth metric $g$ conformal to $g_0$, if $F$ is any simple $g$-minimal immersion of a closed manifold into N, then $F$ is transv…

In these survey lectures, we investigate the geometric and analytic properties of transverse Dirac operators. In particular, we define a transverse Dirac operator associated to a distribution that is essentially self-adjoint (Prokhorenkov-R result). We describe the Habib-R Theorem showing that the invariance of the spe…

The paper strengthens a theorem on crossings under linear perturbations with Hausdorff measure estimates.

We prove an analogue of the Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for compact, oriented, taut Riemannian foliated manifolds with transverse Hermitian structure. In particular, our Hitchin-Kobayashi theorem holds on any compact Sasakian manifold. We define the notion of stability for foliated Hermitian vector bundles with tr…

It is shown that two braids represent transversally isotopic links if and only if one can pass from one braid to another by conjugations in braid groups, positive Markov moves, and their inverses.

We prove transverse Weitzenböck identities for the horizontal Laplacians of a totally geodesic foliation. As a consequence, we obtain nullity theorems for the de Rham cohomology assuming only the positivity of curvature quantities transverse to the leaves. Those curvature quantities appear in the adiabatic limit of the…

We study holomorphic foliations with an affine homogeneous transverse structure. We give a friendly characterization of the case of transversely affine foliations in terms of matrix valued pairs of differential forms. This leads naturally to the study of the case of foliations with singularities. A first extension theo…

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

Consider a transverse knot which is the binding of an open book for the ambient contact manifold. In this paper, we show that the transverse invariants defined by Lisca, Ozsvath, Stipsicz, and Szabo (LOSS) are nonvanishing for such transverse knots. This is true regardless of whether or not the ambient contact structur…

Let (M, g) be a simple, real analytic, Riemannian manifold with boundary and of dimension n>=3. In this work, we prove a support theorem for the transverse ray transform of tensor fields of rank 2 defined over such manifolds. More specifically, given a symmetric tensor field f of rank 2, we show that if the transverse …
