The simplicial volume of oriented closed connected smooth manifolds that admit a non-trivial smooth $S^1$-action vanishes. In the present work we prove a version of this result for the integral foliated simplicial volume of aspherical…

In analogy with ordinary simplicial volume, we show that integral foliated simplicial volume of oriented closed connected aspherical $n$-manifolds that admit an open amenable cover of multiplicity at most $n$ is zero. This implies that the…

Integral foliated simplicial volume is a version of simplicial volume combining the rigidity of integral coefficients with the flexibility of measure spaces. In this article, using the language of measure equivalence of groups we prove a…

We consider the relation between simplicial volume and two of its variants: the stable integral simplicial volume and the integral foliated simplicial volume. The definition of the latter depends on a choice of a measure preserving action…

We show that integral foliated simplicial volume of closed manifolds gives an upper bound for the cost of the corresponding fundamental groups.

We establish an integration formula for integral foliated simplicial volume along ergodic decompositions. This is analogous to the ergodic decomposition formula for the cost of groups.

Integral simplicial volume is a homotopy invariant of oriented closed connected manifolds, defined as the minimal weighted number of singular simplices needed to represent the fundamental class with integral coefficients. We show that…

We show that closed aspherical manifolds supporting an affine structure, whose holonomy map is injective and contains a pure translation, must have vanishing simplicial volume. This provides some further evidence for the veracity of the…

Graph manifolds are manifolds that decompose along tori into pieces with a tame $S^1$-structure. In this paper, we prove that the simplicial volume of graph manifolds (which is known to be zero) can be approximated by integral simplicial…

Let $M$ be the interior of a connected, oriented, compact manifold $V$ of dimension at least 2. If each path component of $\partial V$ has amenable fundamental group, then we prove that the simplicial volume of $M$ is equal to the relative…

We provide an estimate of the amenable category of oriented closed connected complete affine manifolds whose fundamental group contains an infinite amenable normal subgroup. As an application we show that all such manifolds have zero…

In this note we investigate the simplicial volume of fiber bundles with connected structure group. We are able to show that if the structure group is either compact or a Lie group, or if the fiber is aspherical that the simplicial volume of…

We show that for $n \neq 1,4$ the simplicial volume of an inward tame triangulable open $n$-manifold $M$ with amenable fundamental group at infinity at each end is finite; moreover, we show that if also $\pi_1(M)$ is amenable, then the…

We prove that cubical simplicial volume of oriented closed 3-manifolds is equal to one fifth of ordinary simplicial volume.

Let $M$ be a triangulated oriented closed connected manifold with universal cover $\widetilde{M}\to M$ and fundamental group $\Gamma=\pi_1(M)$ and consider an essentially free measure preserving action $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X,\mu)$ on a…

The purpose of this paper is the study of vanishing cycles in holomorphic foliations by complex curves on compact complex manifolds. The main result consists in showing that a vanishing cycle comes together with a much richer complex…

We compute the value of the simplicial volume for closed, oriented Riemannian manifolds covered by $\mathbb{H}^{2}\times\mathbb{H}^{2}$ explicitly, thus in particular for products of closed hyperbolic surfaces. This gives the first exact…

We show that non-elliptic prime 3-manifolds satisfy integral approximation for the simplicial volume, i.e., that their simplicial volume equals the stable integral simplicial volume. The proof makes use of integral foliated simplicial…

We show that, in dimension at least $4$, the set of locally finite simplicial volumes of oriented connected open manifolds is $[0, \infty]$. Moreover, we consider the case of tame open manifolds and some low-dimensional examples.
