We establish the Giroux correspondence in arbitrary dimensions. As corollaries we (i) give an alternate proof of a result of Giroux-Pardon that states that any Weinstein domain is Weinstein homotopic to one which admits a Weinstein…

A parallel lightlike vector field on a Lorentzian manifold $X$ naturally defines a foliation $\mathcal{F}$ of codimension one. If either all leaves of $\mathcal{F}$ are compact or $X$ itself is compact admitting a compact leaf and the…

There exists a smooth foliation with 3 singular points on the two-dimensional torus such that any lifting of a leaf of this foliation on the universal covering of the torus is a dense subset of the covering.

We first prove Vojta's abc conjecture over function fields for Campana points on projective toric varieties with high multiplicity along the boundary. As a consequence, we obtain a version of Campana's conjecture on finite coverings of…

We show that every Stein or Weinstein domain may be presented (up to deformation) as a Lefschetz fibration over the disk. The proof is an application of Donaldson's quantitative transversality techniques.

We classify symplectically foliated fillings of certain foliated manifolds with a contact structure on the leaves. We show that for the foliated sphere cotangent bundle of the Reeb foliation on the three-sphere, the corresponding foliated…

We produce examples of taut foliations of hyperbolic 3-manifolds which are R-covered but not uniform --- ie the leaf space of the universal cover is R, but pairs of leaves are not contained in bounded neighborhoods of each other. This…

We study Riemannian foliations with complex leaves on Kaehler manifolds. The tensor T, the obstruction to the foliation be totally geodesic, is interpreted as a holomorphic section of a certain vector bundle. This enables us to give…

We use convex decomposition theory to (1) reprove the existence of a universally tight contact structure on every irreducible 3-manifold with nonempty boundary, and (2) prove that every toroidal 3-manifold carries infinitely many…

Geometric conditions are given so that the leafwise reduced cohomology is of infinite dimension, specially for foliations with dense leaves on closed manifolds. The main new definition involved is the intersection number of subfoliations…

We study the characteristic foliation of a twisted Jacobi manifold. We show that a twisted Jacobi manifold is foliated into leaves that are, according to the parity of the dimension, endowed with a twisted contact or a twisted locally…

Suppose $K$ is a knot in a 3-manifold $Y$, and that $Y$ admits a pair of distinct contact structures. Assume that $K$ has Legendrian representatives in each of these contact structures, such that the corresponding Thurston-Bennequin…

David Gabai showed that disk decomposable knot and link complements carry taut foliations of depth one. In an arbitrary sutured 3-manifold M, such foliations F, if they exist at all, are determined up to isotopy by an associated ray [F]…

Let $X$ a projective manifold equipped with a codimension $1$ (maybe singular) distribution whose conormal sheaf is assumed to be pseudoeffective. By a theorem of Jean-Pierre Demailly, this distribution is actually integrable and thus…

We prove the existence of periodic orbits for steady $C^\omega$ Euler flows on all Riemannian solid tori. By using the correspondence theorem from part I of this series, we reduce the problem to the Weinstein Conjecture for solid tori. We…

A $b$-contact structure on a $b$-manifold $(M,Z)$ is a Jacobi structure on $M$ satisfying a transversality condition along the hypersurface $Z$. We show that, in three dimensions, $b$-contact structures with overtwisted three-dimensional…

We present a few general results on foliations of 4-manifolds by surfaces: existence, tautness, relations to minimal genus of embedded surfaces; as well as some open problems. We hope to stimulate interest in this area.

In this paper we prove the conjecture of Molino that for every singular Riemannian foliation $(M,\mathcal{F})$, the partition $\bar{\mathcal{F}}$ given by the closures of the leaves of $\mathcal{F}$ is again a singular Riemannian foliation.

In non-relativistic Bohmian mechanics the universe is represented by a probability space whose sample space is composed of the Bohmian trajectories. In relativistic Bohmian mechanics an entire class of empirically equivalent probability…

We propose a theory of contact invariants and open string invariants, assuming that the almost complex $J$ is either non-degenerate or of Bott-type. We do not choose the complex structure $\tilde{J}$ such that $L_X\tilde{J}=0$ on periodic…
