Let $(\lambda^+(M),\lambda^-(M))$ denote the pair of measured foliations at the boundary at infinity $\partial_\infty$ of a quasi-Fuchsian manifold $M$. We prove that $(\lambda^+(M),\lambda^-(M))$ is filling if $M$ is close to being…
Let $X$ be an irreducible algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$, endowed with an algebraic foliation ${\cal{F}}$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of minimal invariant variety $V({\cal{F}},Y)$ with respect to $({\cal{F}},Y)$, where $Y$…
Let $M$ be a compact complex manifold admitting a K\"ahler structure. A conformally K\"ahler, Einstein-Maxwell metric (cKEM metric for short) is a Hermitian metric $\tilde{g}$ on $M$ with constant scalar curvature such that there is a…
We show that diagrammatic sets, a topologically sound alternative to polygraphs and strict $\omega$-categories, admit an internal notion of equivalence in the sense of coinductive weak invertibility. We prove that equivalences have the…
The topological Molino's description of equicontinuous foliated spaces, studied by the first author and Moreira Galicia, gives conditions to reduce their study to the particular case where the holonomy pseudogroup can be represented by a…
Given a flat metric one may generate a local Hamiltonian structure via the fundamental result of Dubrovin and Novikov. More generally, a flat pencil of metrics will generate a local bi-Hamiltonian structure, and with additional…
Center foliations of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms may exhibit pathological behavior from a measure-theoretical viewpoint: quite often, the disintegration of the ambient volume measure along the center leaves consists of atomic…
We study minimal transverse foliations which are $R$-covered. If in addition the dimension of the ambient manifold is $3$, and the foliations are Anosov foliations we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the intersected foliation to…
We introduce and investigate a novel notion of transversely affine foliation, comparing and contrasting it to the previous ones in the literature. We then use it to give an extension of the classic Hadamard's theorem from Riemannian…
We investigate amenability for $W^*$-Fell bundles over a discrete group $G$, with a focus on its characterization via approximation properties and conditional expectations. Building on the notion of $W^*$-amenability, we construct an…
In this paper we develop a notion of Gibbs measure for the geodesic flow tangent to a foliated bundle over a compact and negatively curved basis. We also develop a notion of $F$-harmonic measure and prove that there exists a natural…
A contact pair on a manifold always admits an associated metric for which the two characteristic contact foliations are orthogonal. We show that all these metrics have the same volume element. We also prove that the leaves of the…
Let $G$ be a non-amenable countable group. We show that every almost automorphic $G$-action on a compact Hausdorff space, with a maximal equicontinuous factor whose phase space is a Cantor set, admits invariant probability measures (this…
We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity.…
In this short note, exploits of constructions of $\mathcal{F}$-structures coupled with technology developed by Cheeger-Gromov and Paternain-Petean are seen to yield a procedure to compute minimal entropy, minimal volume, Yamabe invariant…
We construct a simple topological invariant of certain 3-manifolds, including quotients of the 3-sphere by finite groups, based on the fact that the tangent bundle of an orientable 3-manifold is trivialisable. This invariant is strong…
We present a new approach to the amenability of groupoids (both in the measure theoretical and the topological setups) based on using Markov operators. We introduce the notion of an invariant Markov operator on a groupoid and show that the…
In this paper, we investigate the minimization of a functional in which the usual perimeter is competing with a nonlocal singular term comparable (but not necessarily equal to) a fractional perimeter. The motivation for this problem is a…
We study harmonic and totally invariant measures in a foliated compact Riemannian manifold isometrically embedded in an Euclidean space. We introduce geometrical techniques for stochastic calculus in this space. In particular, using these…
\emph{Scalable spaces} are simply connected compact manifolds or finite complexes whose real cohomology algebra embeds in their algebra of (flat) differential forms. This is a rational homotopy invariant property and all scalable spaces are…
