P L representations of Anosov foliations

N. Hashiguchi (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

By choosing certain Birkhoff’s section to the geodesic flow of a negatively curved closed surface, E. Ghys showed that the unstable foliation of the geodesic flow has a transversely piecewise linear structure. We explicitly describe the holonomy homomorphism induced by this transversely piecewise linear structure and calculate its discrete Godbillon-Vey invariant.

Parametrized h -cobordism theory

Allen E. Hatcher (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This paper gives an expository account of the author’s work on the “second” obstruction to deforming a pseudo-isotopy on a smooth compact manifold to an isotopy. Using earlier results on the “first” obstruction, due independently to J.B. Wagoner and the author, this completes the generalization of J. Cerf’s pseudo-isotopy theorem to the non-simply-connected case.
