We introduce the notion of alteration of a surface embedded in a 3-manifold extending that of compression. We see that given two Seifert surfaces of the same link are related to each other by ``single'' alteration, even if they are not by…

We show that the space of metrics of positive scalar curvature on any 3-manifold is either empty or contractible. Second, we show that the diffeomorphism group of every 3-dimensional spherical space form deformation retracts to its isometry…

In this article, we construct infinitely many (small Seifert fibred, hyperbolic and toroidal) rational homology $3$-spheres that admit co-orientable taut foliations, but none with vanishing Euler class. In the context of the $L$-space…

We prove that, under mild restrictions, the space of codimension-one foliations of degree one on a smooth projective complete intersection has two irreducible components of logarithmic type. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for…

We prove the following result that was conjectured by Brunella: Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold of dimension $\geq 3$. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a codimension one holomorphic foliation on $X$ with ample normal bundle. Then every leaf of…

We show that the natural symplectic structure on the Milnor fiber of an isolated singularity in complex three variables whose link fibers over the circle can be modified into one which is cylindrical at the end. As a consequence we see that…

We show that a complete non-compact 3-manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by a positive constant admits a singular foliation by surfaces of controlled area and diameter.

This paper initiates a systematic study of the relation of commensurability of surface automorphisms, or equivalently, fibered commensurability of 3-manifolds fibering over the circle. We show that every hyperbolic fibered commensurability…

In this article, we show that, for any compact 3-manifold, there is a $C^{1}$ volume-minimizing one-dimensional foliation. More generally, we show the existence of mass-minimizing rectifiable sections of sphere bundles without isolated…

We exhibit large classes of examples of noncommutative finite-dimensional manifolds which are (non-formal) deformations of classical manifolds. The main result of this paper is a complete description of noncommutative three-dimensional…

Piecewise Euclidean structures (identified solid Euclidean polyhedra) on topological 3-dimensional manifolds and pseudo-manifolds are constructed so that they admit pseudo-foliations, a generalized type of foliation. The construction of…

We strengthen the unpublished theorem of Gabai and Mosher that every depth one sutured manifold contains a very full dynamic branched surface by showing that the branched surface can be chosen to satisfy an additional property we call…

The present paper is a review of counterexamples to the ``Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture'' or, more generally, of examples of Hamiltonian systems having no periodic orbits on a compact energy level. We begin with the discussion of the…

The Generalized Smale Conjecture asserts that if M is a closed 3-manifold with constant positive curvature, then the inclusion of the group of isometries into the group of diffeomorphisms is a homotopy equivalence. For the 3-sphere, this…

In this paper we prove the strong Sard conjecture for sub-Riemannian structures on 3-dimensional analytic manifolds. More precisely, given a totally nonholonomic analytic distribution of rank 2 on a 3-dimensional analytic manifold, we…

In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…

A large class of real $3$-dimensional nilpotent polynomial vector fields of arbitrary degree is considered. The aim of this work is to present general properties of the discrete and continuous dynamical systems induced by these vector…

We use convex decomposition theory to (1) reprove the existence of a universally tight contact structure on every irreducible 3-manifold with nonempty boundary, and (2) prove that every toroidal 3-manifold carries infinitely many…

Transverse one dimensional foliations play an important role in the study of codimension one foliations. In \cite{KR2}, the authors introduced the notion of flow box decomposition of a 3-manifold $M$. This is a decomposition of $M$ that…

We study R-covered foliations of 3-manifolds from the point of view of their transverse geometry. For an R-covered foliation in an atoroidal 3-manifold M, we show that M-tilde can be partially compactified by a canonical cylinder S^1_univ x…
