On the first secondary invariant of Molino's central sheaf

Jesús A. Álvarez López (1996)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

For a Riemannian foliation on a closed manifold, the first secondary invariant of Molino's central sheaf is an obstruction to tautness. Another obstruction is the class defined by the basic component of the mean curvature with respect to some metric. Both obstructions are proved to be the same up to a constant, and other geometric properties are also proved to be equivalent to tautness.

On the flux homomorphism for regular Poisson manifolds

Rybicki, Tomasz (1998)

Proceedings of the 17th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

Author’s abstract: “We introduce the concept of the flux homomorphism for regular Poisson manifolds. First we establish a one-to-one correspondence between Poisson diffeomorphisms close to i d and closed foliated 1-forms close to 0. This allows to show that the group of Poisson automorphisms is locally contractible and to define the flux locally. Then, by means of the foliated cohomology, we extend this local homomorphism to a global one”.

On the four vertex theorem in planes with radial density e φ ( r )

Doan The Hieu, Tran Le Nam (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

It is shown that in a plane with a radial density the four vertex theorem holds for the class of all simple closed curves if and only if the density is constant. On the other hand, for the class of simple closed curves that are invariant under a rotation about the origin, the four vertex theorem holds for every radial density.

On the Gauss map of B-scrolls in 3 -dimensional Lorentzian space forms

Angel Ferrández, Pascual Lucas (2000)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this note we show that B -scrolls over null curves in a 3-dimensional Lorentzian space form M ¯ 1 3 ( c ) are characterized as the only ruled surfaces with null rulings whose Gauss maps G satisfy the condition Δ G = Λ G , Λ X ( M ¯ ) X ( M ¯ ) being a parallel endomorphism of X ( M ¯ ) .
