In this work we study the geometric properties of spacelike foliations by hypersurfaces on a Lorentz manifold. We find an equation that relates the foliation with the ambient manifold and apply it to investigate conditions for the leaves…

We introduce the concept of morphism of pseudogroups generalizing the \'etal\'e morphisms of Haefliger. With our definition, any continuous foliated map induces a morphism between the corresponding holonomy pseudogroups. The main theorem…

We prove that any dual leaf $L^{\#}$ of a simply connected, complete nonnegatively curved polar manifold $M$ is totally geodesic and closed in $M$, and $L^{\#}$ is itself a complete nonnegatively curved polar manifold. Furthermore, the dual…

Any 2-dim Riemannian manifold with spherical topology can be embedded isometrically into a lightcone of the Minkowski spacetime. We apply this fact to give a proof of the Kazdan-Warner identity.

Every open manifold L of dimension greater than one has complete Riemannian metrics g with bounded geometry such that (L,g) is not quasi-isometric to a leaf of a codimension one foliation of a closed manifold. Hence no conditions on the…

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.

We study the existence of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian orbifolds, and on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a cocompact, isometric group action. We show that every noncontractible Riemannian manifold which admits…

We prove that some symetric semi-riemannian manifolds do not admit a proper domain which is divisible by the action of a discrete group of isometries. In other words, if a closed semi-riemannian manifold is locally isometric to such a…

We describe the geometry of geodesics on a Lorentz ellipsoid: give explicit formulas for the first integrals (pseudo-confocal coordinates), curvature, geodesically equivalent Riemannian metric, the invariant area-forms on the time- and…

We show that, on a complete and possibly non-compact Riemannian manifold of dimension at least 2 without close conjugate points at infinity, the existence of a closed geodesic with local homology in maximal degree and maximal index growth…

We study the rigidity of compact submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary codimension that satisfy a sharp pinching condition involving the norm of the second fundamental form and the mean curvature. Without assuming that the…

In this paper, we define and study strong right-invariant sub-Riemannian structures on the group of diffeomorphisms of a manifold with bounded geometry. We derive the Hamiltonian geodesic equations for such structures, and we provide…

This paper is a study of harmonic maps from Riemannian polyhedra to (locally) non-positively curved geodesic spaces in the sense of Alexandrov. We prove Liouville-type theorems for subharmonic functions and harmonic maps under two different…

We show an analogue of the Lorentzian splitting theorem for weighted Lorentz-Finsler manifolds: If a weighted Berwald spacetime of nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature satisfies certain completeness and metrizability conditions and includes…

In this work, we obtain a short time solution for a geometric flow on noncompact affine Riemannian manifolds. Using this result, we can construct a Hessian metric with nonnegative bounded Hessian sectional curvature on some Hessian…

We consider a transversally conformal foliation $\mathcal{F}$ of a closed manifold $M$ endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric whose restriction to each leaf is negatively curved. We prove that it satisfies the following dichotomy. Either…

The unit sphere $\mathbb S^3$ can be identified with the unitary group SU(2). Under this identification the unit sphere can be considered as a non-commutative Lie group. The commutation relations for the vector fields of the corresponding…

We derive general structure and rigidity theorems for submetries $f: M \to X$, where $M$ is a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature $\sec M \ge 1$. When applied to a non-trivial Riemannian submersion, it follows that $diam X \leq…

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of complex dimension $n>1$ endowed with a Riemannian metric $\mathfrak{g}$. We show that for every integer $k$ with $\left[\frac{n}{2}\right] \le k \le n-1$ there is a nonsingular holomorphic foliation of…

Let $\mathbb{R}^{2,2}$ denote the model space of flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(2,2)$. We prove that the only domain divisible by a discrete subgroup of the isometry group of $\mathbb{R}^{2,2}$ is $\mathbb{R}^{2,2}$ itself.…
