The holonomic approximation lemma of Eliashberg and Mishachev is a powerful tool in the philosophy of the $h-$principle. By carefully keeping track of the quantitative geometry behind the holonomic approximation process, we establish…

The first part of this article intends to present the role played by Thom in diffusing Smale's ideas about immersion theory, at a time (1957) where some famous mathematicians were doubtful about them: it is clearly impossible to make the…

We extend Gromov and Eliashberg-Mishachev's h-principle on manifolds to stratified spaces. This is done in both the sheaf-theoretic framework of Gromov and the smooth jets framework of Eliashberg-Mishachev. The generalization involves…

Y. Eliashberg and N. Mishachev introduced the notion of wrinkled embedding to show that any tangential homotopy can be approximated by a homotopy of topological embeddings with mild singularities. This concept plays an important role in…

In differential topology and geometry, the h-principle is a property enjoyed by certain construction problems. Roughly speaking, it states that the only obstructions to the existence of a solution come from algebraic topology. We describe a…

The h-principle is a powerful tool for obtaining solutions to partial differential inequalities and partial differential equations. Gromov discovered the h-principle for the general partial differential relations to generalize the results…

The goal of this work is to establish a proof of the Gromov convergence in Hoelder spaces for curves with a totally real boundary condition following the original geometric idea of Gromov. We use a local reflection principle in…

The purpose of these notes is to explain parts of Gromov's survey of Carnot-Carathedory spaces, in the light of subsequent results of M. Rumin. Among the rich material provided by Gromov, most of which pertains to analysis on metric spaces,…

The simplicial volume is a homotopy invariant of manifolds introduced by Gromov in 1982. In order to study its main properties, Gromov himself initiated the dual theory of bounded cohomology, that developed into an active and independent…

Our aim in this work is to study a system of equations which generalises at the same time the vortex equations of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory and the holomorphicity equation in Gromov theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. We extend some results…

We prove a theorem of M. Gromov (Oka's principle for holomorphic sections of elliptic bundles, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 2, 851-897, 1989) to the effect that sections of certain holomorphic submersions h from a complex manifold Z onto a Stein…

This text is based on my talk at the popular science conference ``Dark geometry fest'' which was related to geometric methods and their applications, July 17, 2022. We will move towards the Smale-Hirsch theorem. To this end we will deal…

Convex integration and the holonomic approximation theorem are two well-known pillars of flexibility in differential topology and geometry. They may each seem to have their own flavor and scope. The goal of this paper is to bring some new…

This paper presents a natural extension to foliated spaces of the following result due to Gromov : the h-principle for open, invariant differential relations is valid on open manifolds. The definition of openness for foliated spaces adopted…

The classical Reifenberg's theorem says that a set which is sufficiently well approximated by planes uniformly at all scales is a topological H\"older manifold. Remarkably, this generalizes to metric spaces, where the approximation by…

For some geometries including symplectic and contact structures on an n-dimensional manifold, we introduce a two-step approach to Gromov's h-principle. From formal geometric data, the first step builds a transversely geometric Haefliger…

The paper is devoted to the study of the Gromov-Hausdorff proper class, consisting of all metric spaces considered up to isometry. In this class, a generalized Gromov-Hausdorff pseudometric is introduced and the geometry of the resulting…

In his work on singularities, expanders and topology of maps, Gromov showed, using isoperimetric inequalities in graded algebras, that every real valued map on the $n$-torus admits a fibre whose homological size is bounded below by some…

Let $(X,J,\omega,g)$ be a complete $n$-dimensional K\"ahler manifold. A Theorem by Gromov \cite{G} states that the if the K\"ahler form is $d$-bounded, then the space of harmonic $L_2$ forms of degree $k$ is trivial, unless $k=\frac{n}{2}$.…

This introduction to the homotopy principle in complex analysis and geometry, better known as the Oka theory, is aimed at wide mathematical audience. After a brief historical survey of the h-principle in smooth analysis and geometry, I…
