Measure preserving pseudo-groups and a theorem of Sacksteder

Joseph F. Plante (1975)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This note is based on a theorem of Sacksteder which generalizes a classical result of Denjoy. Using this theorem and results on the existence of invariant measures, new results are obtained concerning minimal sets for groups of diffeomorphisms of the circle and for foliations of codimension one.

Metric Ricci Curvature and Flow for PL Manifolds

Emil Saucan (2013)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

We summarize here the main ideas and results of our papers [28], [14], as presented at the 2013 CIRM Meeting on Discrete curvature and we augment these by bringing up an application of one of our main results, namely to solving a problem regarding cube complexes.

Modular classes of Q-manifolds: a review and some applications

Andrew James Bruce (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

A Q-manifold is a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field that squares to zero. The notion of the modular class of a Q-manifold – which is viewed as the obstruction to the existence of a Q-invariant Berezin volume – is not well know. We review the basic ideas and then apply this technology to various examples, including L -algebroids and higher Poisson manifolds.
