A singular foliation $\mathcal F$ gives a partition of a manifold $M$ into leaves whose dimension may vary. Associated to a singular foliation are two complexes, that of the diffeological differential forms on the leaf space $M / \mathcal…

In this paper we find smooth embeddings of solenoids in smooth foliations. We show that if a smooth foliation F of a manifold M contains a compact leaf L with H^1(L;R)= 0 and if the foliation is a product foliation in some saturated open…

We study codimension one smooth foliations with Morse type singularities on closed ma-nifolds. We obtain a description of the manifold in case the number of centers in greater then the number of saddles. This result relies on and extends…

We show that compact, locally symmetric spaces of non-compact type have positive simplicial volume. This gives a positive answer to a question that was first raised by Gromov in 1982. We provide a summary of results that are known to follow…

In this paper I study the constant mean curvature surface in asymptotically flat 3-manifolds with general asymptotics. Under some weak condition, I prove that outside some compact set in the asymptotically flat 3-manifold with positive…

Singular Riemannian Foliations are particular types of foliations on Riemannian manifolds, in which leaves locally stay at a constant distance from each other. Singular Riemannian Foliations in round spheres play a special role, since they…

We prove that any mapping torus of a closed 3-manifold has zero simplicial volume. When the fiber is a prime 3-manifold, classification results can be applied to show vanishing of the simplicial volume, however the case of reducible fibers…

In 1976 D. Sullivan gave an example of a flow on a compact manifold such that each one of its orbits is a circle and with the surprising property that there is no finite upper bound for their length. The aim of this article is to show that…

We show that closed manifolds supporting a nonpositively curved metric with negative $([\frac{n}{4}]+1)$-Ricci curvature, have positive simplicial volume. This answers a special case of a conjecture of Gromov.

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…

We show that the integral filling volume of a Dehn twist $f$ on a closed oriented surface vanishes, i.e. that the integral simplicial volume of the mapping torus with monodromy $f^n$ grows sublinearly with respect to $n$. We deduce a…

Let N be a manifold (with boundary) of dimension at least 3, such that its interior admits a hyperbolic metric of finite volume. We discuss the possible limits arising from sequences of relative fundamental cycles approximating the…

It is a well-known and elementary fact that a holomorphic function on a compact complex manifold without boundary is necessarily constant. The purpose of the present article is to investigate whether, or to what extent, a similar property…

We observe that stable integral simplicial volume of closed manifolds gives an upper bound for the rank gradient of the corresponding fundamental groups.
