We study the transverse geometric behavior of 2-dimensional foliations in 3-manifolds. We show that an R-covered transversely orientable foliation with Gromov hyperbolic leaves in a closed 3-manifold admits a regulating, transverse…
Using results relating taut foliations and pseudo-Anosov flows, we find cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds which are not the non-singular part of a pseudo-Anosov flow. In particular, we find the first examples of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds…
Let $\varphi$ be a transitive pseudo-Anosov flow on an oriented, compact $3$-manifold $M$, possibly with toral boundary. We characterize the surfaces in $M$ that are (almost) transverse to $\phi$. When $\varphi$ has no perfect fits (e.g.…
For certain pseudo-Anosov flows $\phi$ on closed $3$-manifolds, unpublished work of Agol--Gu\'eritaud produces a veering triangulation $\tau$ on the manifold $M$ obtained by deleting $\phi$'s singular orbits. We show that $\tau$ can be…
Let F be a foliation in a closed 3-manifold with negatively curved fundamental group and suppose that F is almost transverse to a quasigeodesic pseudo-Anosov flow. We show that the leaves of the foliation in the universal cover extend…
We first prove rigidity results for pseudo-Anosov flows in prototypes of toroidal 3-manifolds: we show that a pseudo-Anosov flow in a Seifert fibered manifold is up to finite covers topologically equivalent to a geodesic flow and we show…
A pseudo-Anosov flow on a hyperbolic 3-manifold dynamically represents a face F of the Thurston norm ball if the cone on F is dual to the cone spanned by homology classes of closed orbits of the flow. Fried showed that for every fibered…
We show that a transitive Anosov flow with orientable stable and unstable foliations that either (i) admits a Birkhoff section whose first return map is a Penner type pseudo-Anosov map, or (ii) is totally periodic admits a genus one…
We make a first step towards connecting the theory of veering triangulations and bicontact structures as tools for studying (pseudo-)Anosov flows: We show that given a veering triangulation corresponding to an Anosov flow with orientable…
In this paper, we prove that given two $C^1$ foliations $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ on $\mathbb{T}^2$ which are transverse, there exists a non-null homotopic loop $\{\Phi_t\}_{t\in[0,1]}$ in $\diff^{1}(\T^2)$ such that…
Motivated by problems in the study of Anosov and pseudo-Anosov flows on 3-manifolds, we characterize when a pair $(L^+, L^-)$ of subsets of transverse laminations of the circle can be completed to a pair of transverse foliations of the…
This paper investigates certain foliations of three-manifolds that are hybrids of fibrations over the circle with foliated circle bundles over surfaces: a 3-manifold slithers around the circle when its universal cover fibers over the circle…
Given a taut depth-one foliation $\mathcal{F}$ in a closed atoroidal 3-manifold $M$ transverse to a pseudo-Anosov flow $\phi$ without perfect fits, we show that the universal circle coming from leftmost sections $\mathfrak{S}_\mathrm{left}$…
A pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface is a canonical representative of its mapping class. In this paper, we explain that a transitive pseudo-Anosov flow is similarly a canonical representative of its stable Hamiltonian class. It…
We introduce a new method of constructing Birkhoff sections for pseudo-Anosov flows, which uses the connection between pseudo-Anosov flows and veering triangulations. This method allows for explicit constructions, as well as control over…
We produce the first examples of closed, tight contact 3-manifolds which become overtwisted after performing admissible transverse surgeries. Along the way, we clarify the relationship between admissible transverse surgery and Legendrian…
To any Anosov flow X on a 3-manifold Fe1 associated a bi-foliated plane (a plane endowed with two transverse foliations Fs and Fu) which reflects the normal structure of the flow endowed with the center-stable and center unstable…
In this paper, we prove that for any flow $\Psi$ obtained by a Dehn-Fried surgery on an expansive (or equivalently topological pseudo-Anosov) flow $\Phi$ in dimension 3, $\Psi$ is expansive if and only if its stable and unstable foliations…
We prove a result allowing to build (transitive or non-transitive) Anosov flows on 3-manifolds by gluing together filtrating neighborhoods of hyperbolic sets. We give several applications; for example: 1. we build a 3-manifold supporting…
In this article we study topological transitivity of Anosov flows on non-compact 3-manifolds. We provide homological conditions under which the lifts of a transitive Anosov flow to certain infinite covers of the manifold remain transitive.…
