Top-Dimensional Group of the Basic Intersection Cohomology for Singular Riemannian Foliations

José Ignacio Royo Prieto, Martintxo Saralegi-Aranguren, Robert Wolak (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

It is known that, for a regular riemannian foliation on a compact manifold, the properties of its basic cohomology (non-vanishing of the top-dimensional group and Poincaré duality) and the tautness of the foliation are closely related. If we consider singular riemannian foliations, there is little or no relation between these properties. We present an example of a singular isometric flow for which the top-dimensional basic cohomology group is non-trivial, but the basic cohomology does...

Localization of basic characteristic classes

Dirk Töben (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

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...

On riemannian foliations with minimal leaves

Jesús A. Alvarez Lopez (1990)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

For a Riemannian foliation, the topology of the corresponding spectral sequence is used to characterize the existence of a bundle-like metric such that the leaves are minimal submanifolds. When the codimension is ≤ 2 , a simple characterization of this geometrical property is proved.

A finiteness theorem for Riemannian submersions

Paweł G. Walczak (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Given some geometric bounds for the base space and the fibres, there is a finite number of conjugacy classes of Riemannian submersions between compact Riemannian manifolds.

De Rham decomposition theorems for foliated manifolds

Robert A. Blumenthal, James J. Hebda (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We prove that if M is a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold and F is a totally geodesic foliation of M with integrable normal bundle, then M is topologically a product and the two foliations are the product foliations. We also prove a decomposition theorem for Riemannian foliations and a structure theorem for Riemannian foliations with recurrent curvature.

Nontaut foliations and isoperimetric constants

Konrad Blachowski (2002)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study nontaut codimension one foliations on closed Riemannian manifolds. We find an estimate of some constant derived from the mean curvature function of the leaves of a foliation by some isoperimetric constant of the manifold. Moreover, for foliated 2-tori and the 3-dimensional unit sphere, we find the infimum of the former constants for all nontaut codimension one foliations.
