We determine parts of the contact homology of certain contact 3-manifolds in the framework of open book decompositions, due to Giroux. We study two cases: when the monodromy map of the compatible open book is periodic and when it is…
In this article, we study the dynamical properties of Reeb vector fields on b-contact manifolds. We show that in dimension 3, the number of so-called singular periodic orbits can be prescribed. These constructions illuminate some key…
We give a description of the delocalized twisted cohomology of an orbifold and the Chern character of a twisted vector bundle in terms of supersymmetric Euclidean field theories. This includes the construction of a twist functor for…
In this paper, we prove (1): for any closed contact three-manifold with a $C^\infty$-generic contact form, the union of periodic Reeb orbits is dense, (2): for any closed surface with a $C^\infty$-generic Riemannian metric, the union of…
We investigate harmonic unit vector fields with totally geodesic integral curves on 3-manifolds. Under mild curvature assumptions, we classify both the vector fields and the manifolds that support them. Our results are inspired by…
The connection between Jacobi fields and odular structures of affine manifold is established. It is shown that the Jacobi fields generate the natural geoodular structure of affinely connected manifolds.
This paper gives a classification of the topology of vector fields which are nowhere tangent to the fibers of a Seifert fibering.
We show that every closed toroidal irreducible orientable 3-manifold carries infinitely many universally tight contact structures.
A line field on a manifold is a smooth map which assigns a tangent line to all but a finite number of points of the manifold. As such, it can be seen as a generalization of vector fields. They model a number of geometric and physical…
The goal of this paper is to study periodic geodesics for sub-Riemannian metrics on a contact 3D-manifold.We develop two rather independent subjects:1) The existence of closed geodesics spiraling around periodic Reeb orbits for a generic…
We classify the hypersurfaces of Euclidean space that carry a totally geodesic foliation with complete leaves of codimension one. In particular, we show that rotation hypersurfaces with complete profiles of codimension one are characterized…
We state some generalizations of a theorem due to G. Darboux, which originally states that a polynomial vector field in the complex plane exhibits a rational first integral and has all its orbits algebraic provided that it exhibits…
Starting from some remarkable singularities of holomorphic vector fields, we construct (open) complex surfaces over which the singularities in question are realized by complete vector fields. Our constructions lead to manifolds and vector…
It is shown that the characteristic vector field associated to a first order PDE has the same form of an infinitesimal generator of an odd-symplectic transformation with contact Hamiltonian the given PDE. It is considered under which…
We develop a formalism of poly-vector deformations for Type IIB backgrounds with a block diagonal metric and non-vanishing self-dual 5-form RR field strength. Making use of the embedding of the Type IIB theory into the $\mathrm{E}_{6(6)}$…
In this paper, we study normal complex contact metric manifolds and we get some general results on them. Moreover, we obtained the general expression of the curvature tensor field for arbitrary vector fields. Furthermore, we show that the…
We study the class of differentially henselian fields, which are henselian valued fields equipped with generic derivations in the sense of Cubides Kovacics and Point, and are special cases of differentially large fields in the sense of…
Recall that a vector field on an n-dimensional differentiable manifold M is a mapping X defined on M with values in the tangent bundle TM that assigns to each point $x\in M$ a vector X(x) in the tangent space $T_x M$. A vector field may be…
We consider manifolds with isolated singularities, i.e., topological spaces which are manifolds (say, $C^\infty$--) outside discrete subsets (sets of singular points). For (germs of) manifolds with, so called, cone--like singularities, a…
We consider the following properties of compact oriented irreducible graph-manifolds: to contain a $\pi_1$-injective surface (immersed, virtually embedded or embedded), be (virtually) fibered over $S^1$, and to carry a metric of nonpositive…
