Leafwise hyperbolicity of proper foliations.
Leaves of foliations with a transverse geometric structure of finite type.
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.
Leaves of Markov local minimal sets in foliations of codimension one.
The authors continue their study of exceptional local minimal sets with holonomy modeled on symbolic dynamics (called Markov LMS [C-C 1]). Here, an unpublished theorem of G. Duminy, on the topology of semiproper exceptional leaves, is extended to every leaf, semiproper or not, of a Markov LMS. Other topological results on these leaves are also obtained.

Legendrian and transverse twist knots
In 1997, Chekanov gave the first example of a Legendrian nonsimple knot type: the knot. Epstein, Fuchs, and Meyer extended his result by showing that there are at least different Legendrian representatives with maximal Thurston-Bennequin number of the twist knot with crossing number . In this paper we give a complete classification of Legendrian and transverse representatives of twist knots. In particular, we show that has exactly Legendrian representatives with maximal Thurston–Bennequin...
Legendrian dual surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space
We consider surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space and their duals. We study flat dual surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space by using extended Legendrian dualities between pseudo-hyperspheres in Lorentz-Minkowski 4-space. We define the flatness of a surface in hyperbolic 3-space by the degeneracy of its dual, which is similar to the case of the Gauss map of a surface in Euclidean 3-space. Such surfaces are a kind of ruled surfaces. Moreover, we investigate the singularities of these surfaces and the dualities...
Legendrian foliations on almost -manifolds.
Legendrian graphs and quasipositive diagrams
In this paper we clarify the relationship between ribbon surfaces of Legendrian graphs and quasipositive diagrams by using certain fence diagrams. As an application, we give an alternative proof of a theorem concerning a relationship between quasipositive fiber surfaces and contact structures on . We also answer a question of L. Rudolph concerning moves of quasipositive diagrams.

Leibniz cohomology for differentiable manifolds
We propose a definition of Leibniz cohomology, , for differentiable manifolds. Then becomes a non-commutative version of Gelfand-Fuks cohomology. The calculations of reduce to those of formal vector fields, and can be identified with certain invariants of foliations.
Lemme de Moser feuilleté et clasifications des variétés de Poisson régulières.
Regular Poisson structures with fixed characteristic foliation F are described by means of foliated symplectic forms. Associated to each of these structures, there is a class in the second group of foliated cohomology H2(F). Using a foliated version of Moser's lemma, we study the isotopy classes of these structures in relation with their cohomology class. Explicit examples, with dim F = 2, are described.
