We study the large-scale geometry of 3-manifolds with nontrivial 2-dimensional bounded cohomology, with a view to proving a weak version of the geometrization conjecture for such manifolds.

Compact flat surfaces of homogeneous Riemannian 3-manifolds with isometry group of dimension 4 are classified. Non-existence results for compact constant Gauss curvature surfaces in these 3-manifolds are established.

In this article, we study complete pseudo-Riemannian manifolds whose cone admits a parallel symmetric 2-tensorfield. The situation splits in three cases: nilpotent, decomposable or complex Riemannian. In the complex Riemannian and…

We give the algebraic and topological description of the moduli spaces of flat metrics for the 4-dimensional closed flat manifolds with two or three generators in their holonomy.

We consider a closed three-dimensional contact sub-Riemannian manifold. The objective of this note is to provide a precise description of the sub-Riemannian geodesics with large initial momenta: we prove that they "spiral around the Reeb…

We describe a local model for any Singular Riemannian Foliation in a neighbourhood of a closed saturated submanifold of a regular stratum. Moreover we construct a Lie groupoid which controls the transverse geometry of the linear…

We describe a class of genus 2 closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds of arbitrarily large volume.

A smooth foliation is Riemannian when its leaves are locally equidistant. The closures of the leaves of a Riemannian foliation on a simply connected manifold, or more generally of a Killing foliation, are described by flows of transverse…

We study compactness of solutions to the Yamabe problem on Riemannian manifolds which are not locally conformally flat.

We study the geodesics on an invariant surface of a three dimensional Riemannian manifold. The main results are: the characterization of geodesic orbits; a Clairaut's relation and its geometric interpretation in some remarkable three…

We survey the main extensions of the classical Hadamard, Liebmann and Cohn-Vossen rigidity theorems on convex surfaces of $3$-Euclidean space to the context of convex hypersurfaces of Riemannian manifolds. The results we present include the…

We give explicit parametrizations for all the homogeneous contact Riemannian structures on $3$-dimensional Sasakian space forms.

We study relations between certain totally geodesic foliations of a closed flat manifold and its collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits. Our main results explicitly identify such collapsed limits as flat orbifolds, and provide algebraic and…

A 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a tensor structure of type $(1,1)$, whose third power is the identity, is considered. This structure and the metric have circulant matrices with respect to some basis, i.e., these structures…

Almost paracontact almost paracomplex Riemannian manifolds of the lowest dimension 3 are considered. Such structures are constructed on a family of Lie groups and the obtained manifolds are studied. Curvature properties of these manifolds…

We study the family of closed Riemannian n-manifolds with holonomy group isomorphic to $Z_2^{n-1}$, which we call generalized Hantzsche-Wendt manifolds. We prove results on their structures, compute some invariants, and find relations…

In work the internal structure of de Rham cohomology is considered. As examples the phase flows in $\mathbb {R}^3$ admitting the Nambu Poisson structure are studied.

We define the notion of an approximate triangulation for a manifold $M$ embedded in euclidean space. The basic idea is to build a nested family of simplicial complexes whose vertices lie in $M$ and use persistent homology to find a complex…

We study the special algebraic properties of alternating 3-forms in 6 and 7 dimensions and introduce a diffeomorphism-invariant functional on the space of differential 3-forms on a closed manifold M in these dimensions. Restricting the…

We construct spectral triples in a sense of noncommutative differential geometry, associated with a Riemannian foliation on a compact manifold, and describe its dimension spectrum.
