This paper gives sharp linear bounds on the genus of a normal surface in a triangulated compact, orientable 3--manifold in terms of the quadrilaterals in its cell decomposition---different bounds arise from varying hypotheses on the surface…

In this paper we study holomorphic foliations on $\mathbb{P}^2$ with only one singular point. If the singularity has algebraic multiplicity one, we prove that the foliation has no invariant algebraic curve. We also present several examples…

Let F be a foliation of codimension 2 on a compact manifold with at least one non-compact leaf. We show that then F must contain uncountably many non-compact leaves. We prove the same statement for oriented p-dimensional foliations of…

In this paper we give the first example of a surface bundle over a surface with at least three fiberings. In fact, for each $n \ge 3$ we construct $4$-manifolds $E$ admitting at least $n$ distinct fiberings $p_i: E \to \Sigma_{g_i}$ as a…

We introduce a topological invariant, it a type of a graph-manifold, which takes natural values. For a 4-dimensional graph-manifold, whose type does not exceed two, it is proved that its universal cover is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a…

This paper is a contribution to the study of foliations on $\mathbb{CP}^2$ with a unique singularity. We provide an explicit example in degree 7 of such a foliation, in the non dicritical case, having a divergent separatrix, and…

This article studies germs of holomorphic vector fields at the origin of C3 that are tangent to holomorphic foliations of codimension one. Two situations are considered. First, we assume hypotheses on the reduction of singularities of the…

In this paper, we prove that if a quasi-Fuchsian 3-manifold contains a minimal surface whose principle curvature is less than 1, then it admits a foliation such that each leaf is a surface of constant mean curvature. The key method that we…

In this paper we discuss topological properties of holomorphic Lefschetz pencils on the four-torus. Relying on the theory of moduli spaces of polarized abelian surfaces, we first prove that, under some mild assumption, the (smooth)…

We give an equivalent description of taut submanifolds of complete Riemannian manifolds as exactly those submanifolds whose normal exponential map has the property that every preimage of a point is a union of submanifolds. It turns out that…

In analogy with the vector bundle theory we define universal and strongly universal Lefschetz fibrations over bounded surfaces. After giving a characterization of these fibrations we construct very special strongly universal Lefschetz…

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…

A 2-web in the plane is given by two everywhere transverse 1-foliations. In this paper we introduce the study of singular 2-webs, given by any two foliations, which may be tangent in some points. We show that such two foliations are tangent…

We present an equivalent criterion for the global existence of Euler's multiplier for an integrable one-form taking into account the corresponding codim-1-foliation. In particular, the impact of inseparable leaves is considered. Here, we…

A meromorphic quadratic differential with poles of order two, on a compact Riemann surface, induces a measured foliation on the surface, with a spiralling structure at any pole that is determined by the complex residue of the differential…

We prove a cyclic Lefschetz formula for foliations. To this end, we define a notion of equivariant cyclic cohomology and show that its expected pairing with K-theory is well defined. This enables to associate to any invariant transverse…

In this article we show that every closed oriented smooth 4-manifold can be decomposed into two codimension zero submanifolds (one with reversed orientation) so that both pieces are exact Kahler manifolds with strictly pseudoconvex…

Let $(M,g)$ be an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold with a smooth conformal compactification. We establish a general correspondence between semilinear elliptic equations of scalar curvature type on $\del M$ and Weingarten foliations in…

A class of codimension one foliations has been recently introduced by imposing a natural compatibility condition with a closed maximally non-degenerate 2-form. In this paper we study for such foliations the information captured by a…

We investigate the possibility of embedding minimal abelian surfaces in smooth toric 4-folds with Picard number 2. The existence of such an embedding imposes conditions on the 4-fold, which we partly describe. On the other hand, we exhibit…
