Let M be a complete non-compact connected Riemannian n-dimensional manifold. We first prove that, for any fixed point p in M, the radial Ricci curvature of M at p is bounded from below by the radial curvature function of some non-compact…

This contribution is the first in a series of three: it reports on the construction of (a fine sheaf of) diffeomorphism invariant Colombeau algebras on open sets of Eucildean space, which completes earlier approaches. Part II and III will…

We study left-invariant foliations ${\mathcal F}$ on semi-Riemannian Lie groups $G$ generated by a subgroup $K$. We are interested in such foliations which are conformal and with minimal leaves of codimension two. We classify such…

Pseudo-harmonic morphisms give rise on the domain space to a distribution which admits an almost complex structure compatible with the given Riemannian metric. We shall show that this property, together with the harmonicity, are preserved…

Inspired by the all-important conformal invariance of harmonic maps on two-dimensional domains, this article studies the relationship between biharmonicity and conformality. We first give a characterization of biharmonic morphisms,…

We construct 4-dimensional Riemannian Lie groups carrying left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension 2. We show that these foliations are holomorphic with respect to an (integrable) Hermitian structure which is…

It was shown that in robustly transitive, partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on three dimensional closed manifolds, the strong stable or unstable foliation is minimal. In this article, we prove ``almost all'' leaves of both stable and…

Let M be a closed 3-manifold that supports a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism f. If $\pi_1(M)$ is nilpotent, the induced action of f on $H_1(M, R)$ is partially hyperbolic. If $\pi_1(M)$ is almost nilpotent or if $\pi_1(M)$ has…

We prove under a weak smoothness condition that two Riemannian manifold are isomorphic if and only there exists an order isomorphism which intertwines with the Dirichlet type heat semigroups on the manifolds.

We prove that any (real or complex) analytic horizontally conformal submersion from a three-dimensional conformal manifold M to a two-dimensional conformal manifold N can be, locally, `extended' to a unique harmonic morphism from the heaven…

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…

Dilogarithm identities for the central charges and conformal dimensions exist for at least large classes of rational conformally invariant quantum field theories in two dimensions. In many cases, proofs are not yet known but the numerical…

In this paper we continue the work of Kalnins et al in classifying all second-order conformally-superintegrable (Laplace-type) systems over conformally flat spaces, using tools from algebraic geometry and classical invariant theory. The…

We study the equations governing rigid N=1 supersymmetry in five dimensions. If the supersymmetry spinor satisfies a reality condition, these are foliations admitting families of almost complex structures on the leaves. In other words, all…

Let $f$ be a harmonic map from a Riemann surface to a Riemannian $n$-manifold. We prove that if there is a holomorphic diffeomorphism $h$ between open subsets of the surface such that $f\circ h = f$, then $f$ factors through a holomorphic…

In this paper, we prove that any group of diffeomorphisms acting on the 2-sphere and properly extending the conformal group of M\"obius transformations must be at least 4-transitive or, more precisely, arc 4-transitive. In addition, we show…

We study $3$-dimensional partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms that are homotopic to the identity, focusing on the geometry and dynamics of Burago and Ivanov's center stable and center unstable \emph{branching} foliations. This extends our…

We define on any affine invariant orbifold M a foliation FM that generalises the isoperiodic foliation on strata of the moduli space of translation surfaces and study the dynamics of its leaves in the rank 1 case. We establish a criterion…

We consider a $\mathcal{C}^3$ family $t\mapsto f_t$ of $\mathcal{C}^4$ Anosov diffeomorphisms on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$. Denoting by $\rho_t$ the SRB measure of $f_t$, we prove that the map $t\mapsto\int \theta d\rho_t$ is…

On non-K\"ahler manifolds the notion of harmonic maps is modified to that of Hermitian harmonic maps in order to be compatible with the complex structure. The resulting semilinear elliptic system is {\it not} in divergence form. The case of…
