We prove that on closed Riemannian manifolds with infinite abelian, but not cyclic, fundamental group, any isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. We conjecture that the result remains true…

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…

On every closed contact manifold there exist contact forms with volume one whose Reeb flows have arbitrarily small topological entropy. In contrast, for many closed manifolds there is a uniform positive lower bound for the topological…

There is a natural way to deform a Killing foliation with non-closed leaves, due to Ghys and Haefliger--Salem, into a closed foliation, i.e., a foliation whose leaves are all closed. Certain transverse geometric and topological properties…

We show that there are Reeb flows on the standard, tight three-sphere that do not admit global surfaces of section with one boundary component. In particular, the Reeb flows that we construct do not admit disk-like global surfaces of…

Thurston's triangulation conjecture asserts that every hyperbolic 3-manifold admits a geometric triangulation into hyper-ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra. So far, this conjecture had only been proven for a few special 3-manifolds. In this…

For an expanding (unstable) foliation of a diffeomorphism, we use a natural dynamical averaging to construct transverse measures, which we call \emph{maximal}, describing the statistics of how the iterates of a given leaf intersect the…

The long-time existence and umbilicity estimates for compact, graphical solutions to expanding curvature flows are deduced in Riemannian warped products of a real interval with a compact fibre. Notably we do not assume the ambient manifold…

We prove that in dimension 3 every nondegenerate contact form is carried by a broken book decomposition. As an application we get that if M is a closed irreducible oriented 3-manifold that is not a graph manifold, for example a hyperbolic…

We extend the notion of topological T-duality from oriented sphere bundles to transgressive fibrations, a more general type fibration characterised by the abundance of transgressive elements. Examples of transgressive fibrations include…

A Reeb vector field satisfies the Kupka-Smale condition when all its closed orbits are non-degenerate, and the stable and unstable manifolds of its hyperbolic closed orbits intersect transversely. We show that, on a closed 3-manifold, any…

Let \(E\) be a finite-dimensional real vector space. We study invertible objects in the monoidal category of constructible sheaves on \(E\), endowed with the convolution product \(\star\). We show that the inverse of an invertible…

If a contact form on a (2n+1)-dimensional closed contact manifold admits closed Reeb orbits, then its systolic ration is defined to be the quotient of (n+1)th power of the shortest period of Reeb orbits by the contact volume. We prove that…

The effect of non-commutativity on electromagnetic waves violates Lorentz invariance: in the presence of a background magnetic induction field b, the velocity for propagation transverse to b differs from c, while propagation along b is…

In this paper, we observe a set of functionals of metrics which are all decrease under the Calabi flow and have uniform lower bound along the flow, which give rise to a set of integral estimates on the curvature flow. Using these estimates,…
