In this work, we find an equation that relates the Ricci curvature of a riemannian manifold $M$ and the second fundamental forms of two orthogonal foliations of complementary dimensions, $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{F}^{\bot}$, defined on…
We study tautness properties of a Riemannian foliation by investigating a symmetric 2-tensor associated with the mean curvature of the foliation. As a consequence, we prove a tautness condition for Riemannian foliations on compact manifolds…
In this paper we consider new geometric flow equations, called D-flow, which describe the variation of space-time geometries under the change of the number of dimensions. The D-flow is originating from the non-trivial dependence of the…
An upper bound for the $L^2$- norm of the Euler class $e(\cal F)$ of an arbitrary transversally orientable foliation $\cal F$ of codimension one, defined on a three-dimensional closed irreducible orientable Riemannian 3-manifold $M^3$ is…
On the domain of a Riemannian submersion, we consider variations (i.e., smooth one-parameter families) of Riemannian metrics, for which the submersion is Riemannian and which all keep the metric induced on its fibers fixed. We obtain a…
Let $(M, \mathcal{F})$ be a compact Riemannian foliated manifold. We consider a family of compatible Feller semigroups in $C(M^n)$ associated to laws of the $n$-point motion. Under some assumptions (Le Jan and Raimond, \cite{Le…
We consider classical curvature flows: 1-parameter families of convex embeddings of the 2-sphere into Euclidean 3-space which evolve by an arbitrary (non-homogeneous) function of the radii of curvature. The associated flow of the radii of…
In this paper, for a given compact 3-manifold with an initial Riemannian metric and a symmetric tensor, we establish the short-time existence and uniqueness theorem for extension of cross curvature flow. We give an example of this flow on…
In this paper we prove that every Riemannian metric on a locally conformally flat manifold with umbilic boundary can be conformally deformed to a scalar flat metric having constant mean curvature. This result can be seen as a generalization…
We develop a geometric flow framework to investigate two classical shape functionals: the torsional rigidity and the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian. First, by constructing novel deformation paths governed by height-stretching…
In this paper, we introduce an entropy functional on Riemannian foliation, inspired by the work of , which is monotonically along the transverse Ricci flow. We relate their gradient flow, via diffeomorphism preserving the foliated structure…
We construct 2-surfaces of prescribed mean curvature in 3-manifolds carrying asymptotically flat initial data for an isolated gravitating sysqtem with rather general decay conditions. The surfaces in question form a regular foliation of the…
We study unimodular measures on the space $\mathcal M^d$ of all pointed Riemannian $d$-manifolds. Examples can be constructed from finite volume manifolds, from measured foliations with Riemannian leaves, and from invariant random subgroups…
Using variations of Riemannian metric that preserve a given Riemannian submersion, keep its fibers totally geodesic and the metric restricted to the fibers fixed, but change the horizontal distribution, we examine changes of sectional…
We study the transversal wave equation on a compact Riemannian foliated manifold. As applications, we get an Egorov's type theorem for transversally elliptic operators, state a relationship between the singularities of the Fourier transform…
We prove that every closed, smooth $n$-manifold $X$ admits a Riemannian metric together with a smooth, transversely oriented CMC foliation if and only if its Euler characteristic is zero, where by CMC foliation we mean a codimension-one,…
In this short note, we show that given a special K\"ahler-Einstein degeneration with bounded geometry, for any noncentral fiber, there exists a K\"ahler-Ricci flow which converges to the K\"ahler-Einstein metric of the central fiber. As an…
Michor and Mumford showed that the mean curvature flow is a gradient flow on a Riemannian structure with a degenerate geodesic distance. It is also known to destroy the uniform density of gridpoints on the evolving surfaces. We introduce a…
We give a twistorial interpretation of geometric structures on a Riemannian manifold, as sections of homogeneous fibre bundles, following an original insight by Wood (2003). The natural Dirichlet energy induces an abstract harmonicity…
Here are studied pairs of transversal foliations with singularities, defined on the Elliptic region (where the Gaussian curvature $\mathcal K$ is positive) of an oriented surface immersed in $\mathbb R^3$. The leaves of the foliations are…
