Soit un feuilletage de codimension sur une variété compacte . On montre que le complexe des formes basiques admet une décomposition de Hodge. Il en résulte que la cohomologie basique de est de dimension finie et vérifie la dualité de Poincaré si et seulemnt si .
The purpose of this paper is to find necessary and sufficient conditions for globally-decomposing an exterior 2-form , of constant rank , on a vector-bundle , as a sum :The general theory is applied to low dimensional manifolds, spheres, real and complex projective spaces.

The classical proof of the well known deformation lemma can not be extended in this case because integral lines may not exist. In this paper we establish existence of deformations generalizing the classical result. This...
We introduce a new cohomology for Lie algebroids, and prove that it provides a differential graded Lie algebra which “controls” deformations of the structure bracket of the algebroid.
We construct biharmonic non-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds and by first making the ansatz that be a harmonic map and then deforming the metric on by to render biharmonic, where is a smooth function with gradient of constant norm on and . We construct new examples of biharmonic non-harmonic maps, and we characterize the biharmonicity of some curves on Riemannian manifolds.
