Regular projectively Anosov flows with compact leaves

Takeo Noda (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This paper concerns projectively Anosov flows φ t with smooth stable and unstable foliations s and u on a Seifert manifold M . We show that if the foliation s or u contains a compact leaf, then the flow φ t is decomposed into a finite union of models which are defined on T 2 × I and bounded by compact leaves, and therefore the manifold M is homeomorphic to the 3-torus. In the proof, we also obtain a theorem which classifies codimension one foliations on Seifert manifolds with compact leaves which are incompressible...

Reidemeister-type moves for surfaces in four-dimensional space

Dennis Roseman (1998)

Banach Center Publications

We consider smooth knottings of compact (not necessarily orientable) n-dimensional manifolds in n + 2 (or S n + 2 ), for the cases n=2 or n=3. In a previous paper we have generalized the notion of the Reidemeister moves of classical knot theory. In this paper we examine in more detail the above mentioned dimensions. Examples are given; in particular we examine projections of twist-spun knots. Knot moves are given which demonstrate the triviality of the 1-twist spun trefoil. Another application is a smooth...
