The graph of a totally geodesic foliation

Robert A. Wolak (1995)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study the properties of the graph of a totally geodesic foliation. We limit our considerations to basic properties of the graph, and from them we derive several interesting corollaries on the structure of leaves.

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...

The automorphism groups of foliations with transverse linear connection

Nina Zhukova, Anna Dolgonosova (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

The category of foliations is considered. In this category morphisms are differentiable maps sending leaves of one foliation into leaves of the other foliation. We prove that the automorphism group of a foliation with transverse linear connection is an infinite-dimensional Lie group modeled on LF-spaces. This result extends the corresponding result of Macias-Virgós and Sanmartín Carbón for Riemannian foliations. In particular, our result is valid for Lorentzian and pseudo-Riemannian...

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...

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.
