A transitive compact foliated space is shown to be a Riemannian foliation if and only if it is locally connected, finite dimensional, strongly equicontinuous and quasi-analytic, and the closure of its holonomy pseudogroup is quasi-analytic.
Every singular foliation has an associated topological groupoid, called holonomy groupoid (see arXiv:math/0612370). In this note we exhibit some functorial properties of this assignment: if a foliated manifold $(M,\mathcal{F}_M)$ is the…
How different is the universal cover of a given finite 2-complex from a 3-manifold (from the proper homotopy viewpoint)? Regarding this question, we recall that a finitely presented group $G$ is said to be properly 3-realizable if there…
For any abelian compact Lie group $G$, we introduce a family of $G$-stratified pseudomanifolds, whose main feature is the preservation of the orbit spaces in the category of stratified pseudomanifolds. Which generalize a previous definition…
The paper is a survey of recent results in geometric representation theory describing group actions which induce multiplicity-free representations in the spaces of holomorphic functions. For connected compact Lie groups of automorphisms of…
We study the group of almost-periodic homeomorphisms of the real line. Our main result states that an action of a finitely generated group on the real line without global fixed point is conjugated to an almost-periodic action without almost…
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,…
For each positive integer Q there exists a path connected metric compactum X such that the Qth-homotopy group of X is compactly generated but not a topological group (with the quotient topology).
We prove that a fundamental group of codimension one nonnegative Ricci curvature C2-foliation of a closed Riemannian manifold is finitely generated and almost abelian, i.e. it contains abelian subgroup of finite index. In particular, we…
Given a singular foliation, we attach an "essential isotropy" group to each of its leaves, and show that its discreteness is the integrability obstruction of a natural Lie algebroid over the leaf. We show that a condition ensuring…
We show that generically a pseudogroup generated by holomorphic diffeomorphisms defined about $0 \in \mathbb{C}$ is free in the sense of pseudogroups even if the class of conjugacy of the generators is fixed. This result has a number of…
We give a new example of a compact manifold with holonomy Spin(7) from a Beauville's Calabi-Yau fourfold. Its construction is very concrete, starting with products of elliptic curves with complex multiplications --- so probably more…
We construct a finite-dimensional higher Lie groupoid integrating a singular foliation $\mathcal{F}$, under the mild assumption that the latter admits a geometric resolution. More precisely, a recursive use of bi-submersions, a tool coming…
A closed affine manifold is a closed manifold with coordinate patches into affine space whose transition maps are restrictions of affine automorphisms. Such a structure gives rise to a local diffeomorphism from the universal cover of the…
Given a simple Lie group G of rank 1, we consider compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M,g) of signature (p,q) on which G can act conformally. Precisely, we determine the smallest possible value for the index min(p,q) of the metric. When…
An elementary proof is given for the fact that every locally compact subsemigroup of a compact topological group is a closed subgroup. A sample consequence is that every commutative cancellative pseudocompact locally compact Hausdorff…
In this paper we give sufficient conditions under which a subsemigroup of a topological group is a subgroup, adding to the results given in \cite{Kosh, can, axioms, forum, Hof, cc, locally} where conditions exist (such as locally…
We prove that there does not exist any connected topological proper loop homeomorphic to a quasi-simple Lie group and having a compact Lie group as the group topologically generated by its left translations. Moreover, any connected…
This note proves the geodesic completeness of any compact manifold endowed with a linear connection such that the closure of its holonomy group is compact.
We construct a finitely generated 2-dimensional group that acts properly on a locally finite CAT(0) cube complex but does not act properly on a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex.
