A $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold is called Killing submersion if it admits a Riemannian submersion over a surface such that its fibers are the trajectories of a complete unit Killing vector field. In this paper, we give a…

On a manifold we term a hypersurface foliation a slicing if it is the level set foliation of a slice function -- meaning some real valued function $f$ satisfying that $df$ is nowhere zero. On Riemannian manifolds we give a non-linear PDE on…
