Abstract
We show exactly which Seifert manifolds support partially hyperbolic dynamical systems. In particular, a circle bundle over a higher-genus surface supports a partially hyperbolic system if and only if it supports an Anosov flow. We also show for these systems that the center-stable and center-unstable foliations can be isotoped so that their leaves are transverse to the circle fibering. As a consequence, every partially hyperbolic system defined on the unit tangent bundle of a higher-genus surface is a collapsed Anosov flow.
