A smooth foliation is Riemannian when its leaves are locally equidistant. The closures of the leaves of a Riemannian foliation on a simply connected manifold, or more generally of a Killing foliation, are described by flows of transverse…

In this paper we establish the existence of extremals for the Log Sobolev functional on complete non-compact manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below and strictly positive injectivity radius, under a condition near infinity. When…

Let $A$ be a modular abelian surface over $Q$ which either has trivial geometric endomorphism ring, or arises as the restriction of scalars of an elliptic curve over an imaginary quadratic field which is modular and is not a $Q$-curve. In…

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.…

We introduce and investigate a novel notion of transversely affine foliation, comparing and contrasting it to the previous ones in the literature. We then use it to give an extension of the classic Hadamard's theorem from Riemannian…

An orbit-like foliation is a singular foliation on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ whose leaves are locally equidistant (i.e., a singular Riemannian foliation) and (transversely) infinitesimally homogenous. This class of singular…

We study existence problems for closed $G_2$-structures with negative Ricci curvature, and we prove the $G_2$-Goldberg conjecture for noncompact manifolds. We first show that no closed manifold admits a closed $G_2$-structure with negative…

In this note, we complete the classification of the geometry of non-compact two-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons. As a consequence, we obtain two corollaries: First, a complete two-dimensional gradient Ricci soliton has bounded…

Positive $k^{\rm th}$-intermediate Ricci curvature on a Riemannian $n$-manifold, to be denoted by $\mathrm{Ric}_k > 0$, is a condition that interpolates between positive sectional and positive Ricci curvature (when $k =1$ and $k=n-1$…

We prove a constructive existence theorem for abelian envelopes of non-abelian monoidal categories. This establishes a new tool for the construction of tensor categories. As an example we obtain new proofs for the existence of several…

We establish a sharp Fenchel-Willmore inequality for closed submanifolds of arbitrary dimension and codimension immersed in a complete Riemannian manifold with non-negative intermediate Ricci curvature and Euclidean volume growth. In the…

We show that any normal metric on a closed biquotient with finite fundamental group has positive Ricci curvature.

We show that an orientable 3-dimensional manifold M admits a complete riemannian metric of bounded geometry and uniformly pos- itive scalar curvature if and only if there exists a finite collection F of spherical space-forms such that M is…

We prove that every finitely generated group with recursive aspherical presentation embeds into a group with finite aspherical presentation. This and several known facts about groups and manifolds imply that there exists a 4-dimensional…

The main goal of this present paper is to bring the results proved by Barbosa, Kenmotsu and Oshikiri (1991) and its ideas to a perspective where the Ricci curvature is bounded from below. For instance, for a foliation by CMC hypersurfaces…

We exhibit a pseudogroup of smooth local transformations of the real line which is compactly generated, but not realizable as the holonomy pseudogroup of a foliation of codimension 1 on a compact manifold. The proof relies on a description…

We show that almost nonnegatively curved m-dimensional manifolds are, up to finite cover, nilpotent spaces in the sense of homotopy theory and have C(m)-nilpotent fundamental groups. We also show that up to a finite cover almost…

We solve two classical conjectures by showing that if an action of a connected Lie group on a complete Riemannian manifold preserves the geodesics (considered as unparameterized curves), then the metric has constant positive sectional…

In this paper, we study affine manifolds endowed with linear foliations. These are foliations defined by vector subspaces invariant by the linear holonomy. We show that an $n$-dimensional compact, complete, and oriented affine manifold…

We survey all results concerning the topology of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature that have no additional conditions other than restrictions to the dimension, volume growth or diameter growth of the…
