We present a generalization of the topological inequality of Thorpe between the Euler characteristic and $k^{th}$-Pontryagin number of a $4k$-manifold. We also correct and complete some of the arguments from the work of Thorpe in which this…
The goals of this paper are first to describe and then to apply an ergodic-theoretic generalization of the Siegel integral formula from the geometry of numbers. The general formula will be seen to serve both as a guide and as a tool for…
Let F be a holomorphic foliation of general type on CP(2) which admits a rational first integral. We provide bounds for the degree of the first integral of F just in function of the degree, the birational invariants of F and the geometric…
This work contains an exposition of foundations of the variational calculus in fibered manifolds. The emphasis is laid on the geometric aspects of the theory. Especially functionals defined by real functions (Lagrange functions) or…
The purpose of this note is to complete the study, begun in the first author's PhD thesis, of the topology of the poset of generalized noncrossing partitions associated to real reflection groups. In particular, we calculate the Euler…
We examine Frostman-type characterisations and other extremal measure criteria for a range of fractal dimensions of sets. In particular we derive properties of the less familiar modified lower box dimension and upper correlation dimension.…
We illustrate connections between differential geometry on finite simple graphs G=(V,E) and Riemannian manifolds (M,g). The link is that curvature can be defined integral geometrically as an expectation in a probability space of…
A Brouwer homeomorphism is a fixed-point free, orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the plane. A foundational result of Le Calvez establishes that every such homeomorphism $f$ admits an oriented planar foliation $\mathcal{F}$ such that…
This paper defines the Euler-Poincar\'{e} characteristic of joint reductions of ideals which concerns the maximal terms in the Hilbert polynomial; characterizes the positivity of mixed multiplicities in terms of minimal joint reductions;…
This is a survey article with focus on the following problem. Given $f:X \to X$ a meromorphic endomorphism of some compact K\"ahler manifold $X$, construct and study - under natural numerical conditions - a canonical invariant probability…
We study primary and secondary invariants of leafwise Dirac operators on foliated bundles. Given such an operator, we begin by considering the associated regular self-adjoint operator $D_m$ on the maximal Connes-Skandalis Hilbert module and…
Some curvature properties of Kahler manifolds of indefinite metrics are studied. Analogues of a Kulkarni's theorem are proved for such manifolds.
In this paper we revisit a Poincare lemma for foliated forms, with respect to a regular foliation, and compute the foliated cohomology for local models of integrable systems with singularities of nondegenerate type. A key point in this…
In this article we study certain properties of the image of Euler's totient function; we also consider the structure of the preimage of certain elements of the image of this function.
The Euler characteristic transform (ECT) is a simple to define yet powerful representation of shape. The idea is to encode an embedded shape using sub-level sets of a a function defined based on a given direction, and then returning the…
We give a natural and complete description of Ecalle's mould-comould formalism within a Hopf-algebraic framework. The arborification transform thus appears as a factorization of characters, involving the shuffle or quasishuffle Hopf…
We prove that if a geodesic metric measure space satisfies a comparison condition for isoperimetric profile and if the observable variance is maximal, then the space is foliated by minimal geodesics, where the observable variance is defined…
We prove that any smooth foliation that admits a Riemannian foliation structure has a well-defined basic signature, and this geometrically defined invariant is actually a foliated homotopy invariant. We also show that foliated homotopic…
Foliations in the complex projective plane are uniquely determined by their singular locus, which is in correspondence with a zero-dimensional ideal. However, this correspondence is not surjective. We give conditions to determine whether an…
Everyone knows that the Euler characteristic of a combinatorial manifold is given by the alternating sum of its numbers of simplices. It is shown that there are other linear combinations of the numbers of simplices which are combinatorial…
