Let ${\cal F}$ be a complex affine Reeb foliation of dimension $1$ on the Hopf manifold ${\Bbb S}^{n+1}\times {\Bbb S}^1$. We prove that its foliated Dolbeault cohomology in degree $1$ is isomorphic to ${\Bbb C}$ by giving an explicit…
In this paper we study the variability and rigidity of secondary characteristic classes which arise from flat connections on a manifold. Considering the connection as a Lie-algebra valued one-form, we study the characteristic map from Lie…
Let $P$ be a pseudogroup of local diffeomorphisms of an $n$-dimensional smooth manifold $M$. Following Losik we consider characteristic classes of the quotient $M/P$ as elements of the de~Rham cohomology of the second order frame bundles…
We study the behavior of the modular class of an orientable Poisson manifold and formulate some unimodularity criteria in the semilocal context, around a (singular) symplectic leaf. Our results generalize some known unimodularity criteria…
Starting from the axiomatic description of meromorphic functions with prescribed analytic properties, we introduce the cosimplicial cohomology of restricted meromorphic functions defined on foliations of smooth complex manifolds. Spaces for…
In this article, for holomorphic foliations of codimension one at $(\mathbb{C}^{3},0)$, we define the family of second type foliations. This is formed by foliations having, in the reduction process by blow-up maps, only well oriented…
The paper gives a categorical approach to generalized manifolds such as orbit spaces and leaf spaces of foliations. It is suggested to consider these spaces as sets equipped with some additional structure which generalizes the notion of…
Let F be a codimension one singular holomorphic foliation on a compact complex manifold M. Assume that there exists a meromorphic vector field X on M generically transversal to F. Then, we prove that F is the meromorphic pull-back of an…
A characteristic class for deformations of foliations called the Fuks-Lodder-Kotschick class (FLK class for short) is studied. It seems unknown if there is a real foliation with non-trivial FLK class. In this article, we show some…
In this article, we study the geometric properties of codimension one foliations on Riemannian manifolds equipped with vector fields that are closed and conformal. Apart from its singularities, these vector fields define codimension one…
We study foliations by curves on the three-dimensional projective space with no isolated singularities, which is equivalent to assuming that the conormal sheaf is locally free. We provide a classification of the topological and algebraic…
We review the standard Hopf construction of Reeb components with leafwise complex structure and almost determine the group of leafwise holomorphic smooth automorphisms for Reeb components of certain type in the case of complex leaf…
We consider classes of noncompact n-folds with trivial canonical bundle, that are linear foliations on nonsingular projective varieties, in general without a projection to the base. We obtain them as first-order deformations of total spaces…
In this paper a thorough study of the normal form and the first integrability conditions arising from {\em bi-conformal vector fields} is presented. These new symmetry transformations were introduced in {\em Class. Quantum…
In this paper, after explaining some basic aspects of the modern theory of foliations with the aim of describing the celebrated Reeb foliation, we propose the first construction of a comprehensive physical model of it. The construction of…
The theories of strings and $D$-branes have motivated the development of non Abelian cohomology techniques in differential geometry, on the purpose to find a geometric interpretation of characteristic classes. The spaces studied here, like…
We give a survey of the approaches to classifying foliations, starting with the Haefliger classifying spaces and the various results and examples about the secondary classes of foliations. Various dynamical properties of foliations are…
We consider a 3-dimensional smooth manifold $M$ equipped with an arbitrary, \textit{a priori} non-integrable, distribution (plane field) ${\cal D}$ and a vector field $T$ transverse to ${\cal D}$. Using a 1-form $\omega$ such that ${\cal D}…
We prove a complete classification of degree-$2$ foliations on $\mathbb{P}^n$ in any dimension, assuming they are not algebraically integrable. If $\mathcal{F}$ is such a foliation, then either $\mathcal{F}$ is the linear pull-back of a…
In this paper, we characterize the second bounded characteristic classes of foliated bundles in terms of the non-descendible quasi-morphisms on the universal covering of the structure group. As its application, we study the boundedness of…
