The present paper has a number of distinct purposes. First is to give a description of a class of electromagnetic knots from the perspective of foliation theory. Knotted solutions are then interpreted in terms of two codimension-2…

A foliation on a compact manifold is uniform if each pair of leaves of the induced foliation on the universal cover are at finite Hausdorff distance from each other. We study uniform foliations with Reeb components. We give examples of such…

In this work we consider holomorphic foliations of degree two on the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$ having an invariant line. In a suitable choice of affine coordinates these foliations are induced by a quadratic vector field over the…

A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we establish a local property of 1-planar graphs which describes the structure in the neighborhood of small…

The aim of this paper is to study codimension one foliations on rational homogeneous spaces, with a focus on the moduli space of foliations of low degree on Grassmannians and cominuscule spaces. Using equivariant techniques, we show that…

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]…

We give a complete classification of foliations on open contact manifolds whose leaves are contact submanifolds of the ambient manifold. The results are analogues of Haefliger's classification of foliations on open manifold.

When is a manifold a leaf of a complete closed foliation on the open unit ball? We give some answers to this question.

This paper contributes to the solution of the Poincare problem, which is to bound the degree of a (generalized algebraic) leaf of a (singular algebraic) foliation of the complex projective plane. The first theorem gives a new sort of bound,…

In this article, we prove two results. First, we construct a dense subset in the space of polynomial foliations of degree $n$ such that each foliation from this subset has a leaf with at least $\frac{(n+1)(n+2)}2-4$ handles. Next, we prove…

For an oriented manifold $M$ whose dimension is less than $4$, we use the contractibility of certain complexes associated to its submanifolds to cut $M$ into simpler pieces in order to do local to global arguments. In particular, in these…

Motivated by index theory for semisimple groups, we study the relationship between the foliation C^*-algebras on manifolds admitting multiple fibrations. Let F_1,...,F_r be a collection of smooth foliations of a manifold X. We impose a…

The present paper is a continuation of [13], [14] of the authors. Specifically, the paper considers the MD5-foliations associated to connected and simply connected MD5-groups such that their Lie algebras have 4-dimensional commutative…

This is the first in a series of papers about foliations in derived geometry. After introducing derived foliations on arbitrary derived stacks, we concentrate on quasi-smooth and rigid derived foliations on smooth complex algebraic…

We show that every topological surface lamination of a 3-manifold M is isotopic to one with smoothly immersed leaves. This carries out a project proposed by Gabai in [Problems in foliations and laminations, AMS/IP Stud. Adv. Math. 2.2…

We give an example of a one dimensional foliation $\cal F$ of degree two in a Zariski open set of a four dimensional weighted projective space which has only an enumerable set of algebraic leaves. These are defined over rational numbers and…

In this note, we give a so-called representative classification for the strata by automorphism group of smooth $\bar{k}$-plane curves of genus $6$, where $\bar{k}$ is a fixed separable closure of a field $k$ of characteristic $p = 0$ or $p…

We show that any two disjoint crooked planes in R^3 are leaves of a crooked foliation. This answers a question asked by Charette and Kim.

This paper describes the geometry and topology of leaves of the isoperiodic foliation of the stratum $\Omega\mathcal{M}_1(1,1,-2)$. We prove that each leaf is a surface of infinite genus homeomorphic to the Loch Ness monster surface and…

We define a norm on the homology of a foliated manifold, which refines and majorizes the usual Gromov norm on homology. This norm depends in an upper semi-continuous way on the underlying foliation, in the geometric topology, and can…
