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.

Leaves of foliations with a transverse geometric structure of finite type.

Robert A. Wolak (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

In this short note we find some conditions which ensure that a G foliation of finite type with all leaves compact is a Riemannian foliation of equivalently the space of leaves of such a foliation is a Satake manifold. A particular attention is paid to transversaly affine foliations. We present several conditions which ensure completeness of such foliations.

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.

Pierrot's theorem for singular Riemannian foliations.

Robert A. Wolak (1994)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

Let F be a singular Riemannian foliation on a compact connected Riemannian manifold M. We demonstrate that global foliated vector fields generate a distribution tangent to the strata defined by the closures of leaves of F and which, in each stratum, is transverse to these closures of leaves.
