Suppose that $\mathcal F$ is a transversely oriented, codimension one foliation of a connected, closed, oriented 3-manifold. Suppose also that $\mathcal F$ has continuous tangent plane field and is {\sl taut}; that is, closed smooth…

In this paper, we show that any topologically transitive Anosov flow on a closed three-dimensional manifold with the orientable weak stable and unstable foliations turns into an R-covered one by a Goodman-Fried surgery along periodic…

We show that any orientable closed 3-manifold $M$ admits structurally stable non-singular flow $f^t$ whose non-wandering set $NW(f^t)$ consists of a 2-dimensional expanding attractor and finitely many repelling periodic trajectories. For…

We show that there is a type-preserving homomorphism from the fundamental group of the figure-eight knot complement to the mapping class group of the thrice-punctured torus. As a corollary, we obtain infinitely many commensurability classes…

We determine which closed orientable $3$-manifolds $M$ admit a self-homeomorphism restricting to a pseudo-Anosov map on an incompressible subsurface $\Sigma$, which we call a pseudo-Anosov surface. When $M$ is irreducible, we show that the…

The main result is that if an Anosov flow in a closed hyperbolic three manifold is not R-covered, then the flow is a quasigeodesic flow. We also prove that if a hyperbolic three manifold supports an Anosov flow, then up to a double cover it…

It is known that a bi-orderable group has no generalized torsion element, but the converse does not hold in general. We conjecture that the converse holds for the fundamental groups of 3-manifolds, and verify the conjecture for…

Suppose M is a cusped finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold and T is an ideal triangulation of M with essential edges. We show that any incompressible surface S in M that is not a virtual fiber can be isotoped into spunnormal form in T . The…

We prove that every transitive topologically Anosov flow on a closed 3-manifold is orbitally equivalent to a smooth Anosov flow, preserving an ergodic smooth volume form.

We call a closed, connected, orientable manifold in one of the categories TOP, PL or DIFF chiral if it does not admit an orientation-reversing automorphism and amphicheiral otherwise. Moreover, we call a manifold strongly chiral if it does…

We consider Anosov diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^3$ such that the tangent bundle splits into three subbundles $E^s_f \oplus E^{wu}_f \oplus E^{su}_f.$ We show that if $f$ is $C^r, r \geq 2,$ volume preserving, then $f$ is $C^1$ conjugated…

Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be knot manifolds and $M=M_1\cup_f M_2$ be the closed 3-manifold obtained by gluing up $M_1$ and $M_2$ via $f:\partial M_1\xrightarrow{\cong} \partial M_2$. We show that if $M$ admits a co-oriented taut foliation, then…

We consider a transversally conformal foliation $\mathcal{F}$ of a closed manifold $M$ endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric whose restriction to each leaf is negatively curved. We prove that it satisfies the following dichotomy. Either…

We show that fundamental groups of compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary are Grothendieck rigid.

In this article we study the topological structure of the lifts to the universal of the stable and unstable foliations of $3$-dimensional Anosov flows. In particular we consider the case when these foliations do not have Hausdorff leaf…

We prove transitivity for volume preserving $C^{1+}$ diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^3$ which are isotopic to a linear Anosov automorphism along a path of weakly partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.

In his seminal 1976 paper Bill Thurston observed that a closed leaf S of a foliation has Euler characteristic equal, up to sign, to the Euler class of the foliation evaluated on [S], the homology class represented by S. The main result of…

We show that the action on its orbit space induced by a pseudo-Anosov flow on a closed $3$-manifold (and more general Anosov-like actions) can be seen as an isometric action on a Gromov-hyperbolic space. When the flow is not $\R$-covered,…

In this paper we focused our study on Derived From Anosov diffeomorphisms (DA diffeomorphisms ) of the torus $\mathbb{T}^3,$ it is, an absolute partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on $\mathbb{T}^3$ homotopic to an Anosov linear automorphism…

We briefly survey some of the recent results concerning the metric behavior of the invariant foliations for a partially hyperbolic on a three-dimensional manifold and propose a conjecture to characterize atomic behavior for conservative…
