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…

We show that any horizontally homothetic submersion from a compact manifold of nonnegative sectional curvature is a Riemannian submersion.

In this paper we construct infinitely many examples of a Riemannian submersion from a simple, compact Lie group $G$ with bi-invariant metric onto a smooth manifold that cannot be a quotient of $G$ by a group action. This partially addresses…

If $\pi :M\rightarrow B$ is a Riemannian Submersion and $M$ has positive sectional curvature, O'Neill's Horizontal Curvature Equation shows that $B$ must also have positive curvature. We show there are Riemannian submersions from compact…

We introduce semi-invariant Riemannian submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We give examples, investigate the geometry of foliations which are arisen from the definition of a Riemannian submersion and find…

We bound the dimension of the fiber of a Riemannian submersion from a positively curved manifold in terms of the dimension of the base of the submersion and either its conjugate radius or the length of its shortest closed geodesic.

For $n\geq 4$ we show that generic closed Riemannian $n$-manifolds have no nontrivial totally geodesic submanifolds, answering a question of Spivak. An immediate consequence is a severe restriction on the isometry group of a generic…

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 study two notions of rigidity, one of conformal submersions and the other of quasi Einstein manifolds, with an attempt to relate the two notions. Note that a smooth submersion between Riemannian manifolds is called…

We formulate stable Bernstein type theorems in certain positively curved ambient manifolds. In all dimensions, we prove that for any complete Riemannian manifold $(X^{n+1},g)$, if the Ricci curvature is non-negative and it positive BiRic…

We classify semi-Riemannian submersions with connected totally geodesic fibres from a real pseudo-hyperbolic space onto a semi-Riemannian manifold under the assumption that the dimension of the fibres is less than or equal to three and the…

Considering Riemannian submersions, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for when sub-Riemannian normal geodesics project to curves of constant first geodesic curvature or constant first and vanishing second geodesic curvatures. We…

We prove that a Riemannian submersion between smooth, compact, non-negatively curved Riemannian manifolds has to be smooth, resolving a conjecture by Berestovskii--Guijarro. We show that without any curvature assumption, the smoothness of…

In this paper, we study \lambda-biharmonic Riemannian submersions, which generalize biharmonic Riemannian submersions. We prove non-existence results for \lambda-biharmonic Riemannian submersions from (n + 1)-dimensional Riemannian…

We find constraints on the extent to which O'Neill's horizontal curvature equation can be used to create positive curvature on the base space of a Riemannian submersion. In particular, we study when K. Tapp's theorem on Riemannian…

We consider isometric immersions of complete connected Riemannian manifolds into space forms of nonzero constant curvature. We prove that if such an immersion is compact and has semi-definite second fundamental form, then it is an embedding…

We prove the nonexistence of a proper singular Riemannian foliation admitting section in compact manifolds of nonpositive curvature. Then we give a global description of proper singular Riemannian foliations admitting sections on Hadamard…

We prove that, under reasonable conditions, odd co-dimension Riemannian foliations cannot occur in positively curved manifolds.

In this note we consider submersions from compact manifolds, homotopy equivalent to the Eschenburg or Bazaikin spaces of positive curvature. We show that if the submersion is nontrivial, the dimension of the base is greater than the…
