Some properties of Riemannian foliations on closed manifolds are generalized to compact equicontinuous foliated spaces. For instance, it is proved that all holonomy covers of the leaves are quasi-isometric to each other.
We give a survey of results relating the restricted holonomy of a Riemannian spin manifold with lower bounds on the spectrum of its Dirac operator, giving a new proof of a result originally due to Kirchberg.
A singular riemannian foliation on a complete riemannian manifold is said to be riemannian if each geodesic that is perpendicular at one point to a leaf remains perpendicular to every leaf it meets. The singular foliation is said to admit…
We introduce an intrinsic deformation of the algebra of smooth functions on a compact Riemannian manifold using only the Laplace spectral decomposition. The construction twists the canonical multiplication-projection channels by unimodular…

Consider a singular Riemannian foliation (s.r.f for short) on a compact manifold. By successive blow-ups along the strata, we construct a regular Riemannian foliation on another compact Riemannian manifold and a desingularization map that…
The branched deformations of immersed compact special Lagrangian submanifolds are studied in this paper. If there exists a nondegenerate $\mathbb{Z}_2$ harmonic 1-form over a special Lagrangian submanifold $L$, we construct a family of…
Developing A.D. Aleksandrov's ideas, the first-named author of this article proposed the following approach to study of rigidity problems for the boundary of a $C^0$-submanifold in a smooth Riemannian manifold: Let $Y_1$ be a 2-dimensional…
We consider the M-theory lifts of configurations of type IIA D6-branes intersecting at angles. In supersymmetry preserving cases, the lifts correspond to special holonomy geometries, like conifolds and $G_2$ holonomy singularities.…
We point out an effect which may stabilize a supersymmetric membrane moving on a manifold with boundary, and lead to a light-cone Hamiltonian with a discrete spectrum of eigenvalues. The analysis is carried out explicitly for a closed…
In this article we study the deformation theory of conically singular Cayley submanifolds. In particular, we prove a result on the expected dimension of a moduli space of Cayley deformations of a conically singular Cayley submanifold.…
It is shown that the horizontal holonomy group of a K-contact sub-Riemannian manifold either coincides with the holonomy group of a Riemannian manifold, or it is a codimension-one normal subgroup of the later group. The question of…
In this paper we show that for Riemannian manifolds with boundary the natural restriction map is a quasifibration between spaces of metrics of positive scalar curvature. We apply this result to study homotopy properties of spaces of such…
For compact Riemannian manifolds with convex boundary, B.White proved the following alternative: Either there is an isoperimetric inequality for minimal hypersurfaces or there exists a closed minimal hypersurface, possibly with a small…
We use functions of a bicomplex variable to unify the existing constructions of harmonic morphisms from a 3-dimensional Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean space to a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface. This is done by using the notion of…
In this article we show how holomorphic Riemannian geometry can be used to relate certain submanifolds in one pseudo-Riemannian space to submanifolds with corresponding geometric properties in other spaces. In order to do so, we shall first…
In this continuation of \cite{BDS}, we investigate the deformations of holomorphic Cartan geometries where the underlying complex manifold is allowed to move. The space of infinitesimal deformations of a flat holomorphic Cartan geometry is…
