Localization of basic characteristic classes

Dirk Töben (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We introduce basic characteristic classes and numbers as new invariants for Riemannian foliations. If the ambient Riemannian manifold M is complete, simply connected (or more generally if the foliation is a transversely orientable Killing foliation) and if the space of leaf closures is compact, then the basic characteristic numbers are determined by the infinitesimal dynamical behavior of the foliation at the union of its closed leaves. In fact, they can be computed with an Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne-type...

Measure preserving pseudo-groups and a theorem of Sacksteder

Joseph F. Plante (1975)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This note is based on a theorem of Sacksteder which generalizes a classical result of Denjoy. Using this theorem and results on the existence of invariant measures, new results are obtained concerning minimal sets for groups of diffeomorphisms of the circle and for foliations of codimension one.

Multiplicity of a foliation on projective spaces along an integral curve.

Julio García (1993)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We compute the global multiplicity of a 1-dimensional foliation along an integral curve in projective spaces. We give a bound in the way of Poincaré problem for a complete intersection curves. In the projective plane, this bound give us a bound of the degree of non irreducible integral curves in function of the degree of the foliation.

Nombres de Betti L 2 et facteurs de type II 1

Alain Connes (2002/2003)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Damien Gaboriau a montré récemment que les nombres de Betti L 2 des feuilletages mesurés à feuilles contractiles sont des invariants de la relation d’équivalence associée. Sorin Popa a utilisé ce résultat joint à des propriétés de rigidité des facteurs de type II 1 pour en déduire l’existence de facteurs de type II 1 dont le groupe fondamental est trivial.
