Let M be a rank 1 affine invariant orbifold in a stratum of the moduli space of flat surfaces. We show that the leaves of the M-isoperiodic foliation are either all closed or all dense. In the second case, we establish ergodicity of the…

We give sufficient conditions for the tautness of a transversely homogenous foliation defined on a compact manifold, by computing its base-like cohomology. As an application, we prove that if the foliation is non-unimodular then either the…

We define Seiberg-Witten equations on closed manifolds endowed with a Riemannian foliation of codimension 4. When the foliation is taut, we show compactness of the moduli space under some hypothesis satisfied for instance by closed…

This thesis is concerned with equidistant foliations of Euclidean space, i.e. partitions into complete, connected, properly embedded smooth submanifolds. The space of leaves is an Alexandrov space of nonnegative curvature and the canonical…

Let S be an arbitrary real surface, with or without boundary, contained in a hypersurface M of the complex euclidean space \C^2, with S and M of class C^{2, a}, where 0 < a < 1. If M is globally minimal, if S is totally real except at…

Associated with isoparametric foliations of unit spheres, there are two classes of minimal surfaces $-$ minimal isoparametric hypersurfaces and focal submanifolds. By virtue of their rich structures, we find new series of minimizing cones.…

We prove that Riemannian foliations on complete contractible manifolds have a closed leaf, and that all leaves are closed if one closed leaf has a finitely generated fundamental group. Under additional topological or geometric assumptions…

We prove that the characteristic foliation $F$ on a non-singular divisor $D$ in an irreducible projective hyperkaehler manifold $X$ cannot be algebraic, unless the leaves of $F$ are rational curves or $X$ is a surface. More generally, we…

We prove that every closed, smooth $n$-manifold $X$ admits a Riemannian metric together with a smooth, transversely oriented CMC foliation if and only if its Euler characteristic is zero, where by CMC foliation we mean a codimension-one,…

In this work we study the geometric properties of spacelike foliations by hypersurfaces on a Lorentz manifold. We find an equation that relates the foliation with the ambient manifold and apply it to investigate conditions for the leaves…

We study the topology of the space of smooth codimension one foliations on a closed 3-manifold. We regard this space as the space of integrable plane fields included in the space of all smooth plane fields. It has been known since the late…

In a recent paper, the authors proved that no spin foliation on a compact enlargeable manifold with Hausdorff homotopy graph admits a metric of positive scalar curvature on its leaves. This result extends groundbreaking results of…

In this work we exhibit examples of $5$-manifolds that are not homeomorphic to any leaf of any $C^2$ codimension one foliation of any compact $6$-manifold but are homeomorphic to (proper) leaves of some $C^1$ codimension one foliations and…

We summarize the foliation approach to ${\cal N}=1$ compactifications of eleven-dimensional supergravity on eight-manifolds $M$ down to $\mathrm{AdS}_3$ spaces for the case when the internal part $\xi$ of the supersymmetry generator is…

We describe a family of locally conformal Kaehler metrics on class 1 Hopf surfaces H containing some recent metrics constructed by P. Gauduchon and L. ornea. We study some canonical foliations associated to these metrics, in particular a…

We show that a smooth 1-parameter family of foliations by circles of a closed 3-manifold, deforming the foliation whose leaves are the fibers of a circle bundle, is trivial, i.e. all the foliations of the family arise from circle bundles…

We consider manifolds endowed with metric contact pairs for which the two characteristic foliations are orthogonal. We give some properties of the curvature tensor and in particular a formula for the Ricci curvature in the direction of the…

This paper completes the foundations of neatly integrable normal distribution theory on manifolds with boundary. Normal distributions are those which contain vectors transverse to the boundary along its entirety. The theory is observed to…

We prove that the foliated Euler caracteristic classifies amenable measured foliations up to those defined by ergodic actions of the euclidian plane.

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n+1$ with smooth boundary and $p\in \partial M$. We prove that there exists a smooth foliation around $p$ whose leaves are submanifolds of dimension $n$, constant mean curvature and its arrive…
