Le groupe d'automorphismes du groupe modulaire

Tambekou Roger Tchangang (1987)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Le but de cet article est de donner une autre démonstration plus simple du théorème d’Ivanov (Théorème 1) qui assure que le groupe M g * de toutes les difféotopies d’une surface F g orientable et fermée de genre g 2 est complet. En étudiant l’action d’un automorphisme quelconque du groupe M g * sur les difféotopies d’ordre fini, on montre que les involutions hyperelliptiques sont globalement préservées. Le théorème d’Ivanov est alors une conséquence d’un résultat de Dyer et Grossmann qui affirm que le groupe...

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

Robert A. Wolak (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

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.

John Cantwell, Lawrence Conlon (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

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 Here, an unpublished theorem of G. Duminy, on the topology of semiproper exceptional leaves, is extended to every leaf, semiproper or not, of a Markov LMS.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

John B. Etnyre, Lenhard L. Ng, Vera Vértesi (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In 1997, Chekanov gave the first example of a Legendrian nonsimple knot type: the m ( 5 2 ) knot. Epstein, Fuchs, and Meyer extended his result by showing that there are at least n different Legendrian representatives with maximal Thurston-Bennequin number of the twist knot K - 2 n with crossing number 2 n + 1 . In this paper we give a complete classification of Legendrian and transverse representatives of twist knots. In particular, we show that K - 2 n has exactly n 2 2 Legendrian representatives with maximal Thurston–Bennequin...

Legendrian dual surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space

Kentaro Saji, Handan Yıldırım (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

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 graphs and quasipositive diagrams

Sebastian Baader, Masaharu Ishikawa (2009)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

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 S 3 . We also answer a question of L. Rudolph concerning moves of quasipositive diagrams.

Leibniz cohomology for differentiable manifolds

Jerry M. Lodder (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We propose a definition of Leibniz cohomology, H L * , for differentiable manifolds. Then H L * becomes a non-commutative version of Gelfand-Fuks cohomology. The calculations of H L * ( R n ; R ) reduce to those of formal vector fields, and can be identified with certain invariants of foliations.
