A note on the characteristic $p$ nonabelian Hodge theory in the geometric case
2012
We provide a construction of associating a de Rham subbundle to a Higgs subbundle in characteristic $p$ in the geometric case. As applications, we obtain a Higgs semistability result and a $W_2$-unliftable result.
Caractérisation des flots d' Anosov en dimension 3 par leurs feuilletages faibles
1995
AbstractWe consider Anosov flows on closed 3-manifolds. We show that if such a flow admits a weak foliation whose lifting in the universal covering is a product foliation, thenit is characterized up to topological equivalence by its weak stable foliation up to topological conjugacy. As a corollary we obtain that, up to topological equivalence and finite coverings, suspensions and geodesic flows are the unique Anosov flows on closed 3-manifolds whose weak stable foliations are transversely projective.
Kodaira dimension of holomorphic singular foliations
2000
We introduce numerical invariants of holomorphic singular foliations under bimeromorphic transformations of surfaces. The basic invariant is a foliated version of the Kodaira dimension of compact complex manifolds.
The Rationality Criterion
2014
In this chapter we explain a remarkable theorem of Miyaoka [32] which asserts that a foliation whose cotangent bundle is not pseudoeffective is a foliation by rational curves. The original Miyaoka’s proof can be thought as a foliated version of Mori’s technique of construction of rational curves by deformations of morphisms in positive characteristic [33].
A quantitative isoperimetric inequality for fractional perimeters
2011
Abstract Recently Frank and Seiringer have shown an isoperimetric inequality for nonlocal perimeter functionals arising from Sobolev seminorms of fractional order. This isoperimetric inequality is improved here in a quantitative form.
Abstract and concrete tangent modules on Lipschitz differentiability spaces
2020
We construct an isometric embedding from Gigli's abstract tangent module into the concrete tangent module of a space admitting a (weak) Lipschitz differentiable structure, and give two equivalent conditions which characterize when the embedding is an isomorphism. Together with arguments from a recent article by Bate--Kangasniemi--Orponen, this equivalence is used to show that the ${\rm Lip}-{\rm lip}$ -type condition ${\rm lip} f\le C|Df|$ implies the existence of a Lipschitz differentiable structure, and moreover self-improves to ${\rm lip} f =|Df|$. We also provide a direct proof of a result by Gigli and the second author that, for a space with a strongly rectifiable decomposition, Gigli'…
Jacobi—Nijenhuis manifolds and compatible Jacobi structures
1999
Abstract We propose a definition of Jacobi—Nijenhuis structures, that includes the Poisson—Nijenhuis structures as a particular case. The existence of a hierarchy of compatible Jacobi structures on a Jacobi—Nijenhuis manifold is also obtained.
Bounds for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue attained at an infinite family of Riemannian manifolds
1996
LetM be a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary ∂M. We get bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem onM in terms of bounds of the sectional curvature ofM and the normal curvatures of ∂M. We discuss the equality, which is attained precisely on certain model spaces defined by J. H. Eschenburg. We also get analog results for Kahler manifolds. We show how the same technique gives comparison theorems for the quotient volume(P)/volume(M),M being a compact Riemannian or Kahler manifold andP being a compact real hypersurface ofM.
The classification of 4-dimensional homogeneous D'Atri spaces revisited
2007
Abstract In this short note we correct the (incomplete) classification theorem from [F. Podesta, A. Spiro, Four-dimensional Einstein-like manifolds and curvature homogeneity, Geom. Dedicata 54 (1995) 225–243], we improve a result from [P. Bueken, L. Vanhecke, Three- and four-dimensional Einstein-like manifolds and homogeneity, Geom. Dedicata 75 (1999) 123–136] and we announce the final solution of the classification problem for 4-dimensional homogeneous D'Atri spaces.
Global properties of codimension two spacelike submanifolds in Minkowski space
2009
Abstract We consider codimension two spacelike submanifolds with a parallel normal field (i.e. vanishing normal curvature) in Minkowski space. We use the analysis of their contacts with hyperplanes and hyperquadrics in order to get some global information on them. As a consequence we obtain new versions of Carathéodory's and Loewner's conjectures on spacelike surfaces in 4-dimensional Minkowski space and 4-flattenings theorems for closed spacelike curves in 3-dimensional Minkowski space.
