Riemannian manifolds not quasi-isometric to leaves in codimension one foliations

Paul A. Schweitzer (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Every open manifold L of dimension greater than one has complete Riemannian metrics g with bounded geometry such that ( L , g ) is not quasi-isometric to a leaf of a codimension one foliation of a closed manifold. Hence no conditions on the local geometry of ( L , g ) suffice to make it quasi-isometric to a leaf of such a foliation. We introduce the ‘bounded homology property’, a semi-local property of ( L , g ) that is necessary for it to be a leaf in a compact manifold in codimension one, up to quasi-isometry. An essential...

Rigidity of Rank-One Factors of Compact Symmetric Spaces

Andrew Clarke (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We consider the decomposition of a compact-type symmetric space into a product of factors and show that the rank-one factors, when considered as totally geodesic submanifolds of the space, are isolated from inequivalent minimal submanifolds.

Semi-parallel CR submanifolds in a complex space form

Mayuko Kon (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that there is no proper CR submanifold with semi-flat normal connection and semi-parallel second fundamental form in a complex space form with non-zero constant holomorphic sectional curvature such that the dimension of the holomorphic tangent space is greater than 2.
