Subspace foliations and collapse of closed flat manifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study relations between certain totally geodesic foliations of a closed flat manifold and its collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits. Our main results explicitly identify such limits as orbifolds, provide algebraic geometric criteria to determine whether they are singular.

Foliations of asymptotically flat 3-manifolds by 2-surfaces of prescribed mean curvature
For a given set of data (M,g,K), with a three dimensional manifold M , its Riemannian metric g, and the second fundamental form K in the surrounding four dimensional Lorentz space time manifold, the equation we solve is H + P = const or H − P = const. Here H is the mean curvature, and P = trK is the 2-trace of K along the solution surface. This is a degenerate elliptic equation for the position...
متن کاملFlat foliations of spherically symmetric geometries
We examine the solution of the constraints in spherically symmetric general relativity when spacetime has a flat spatial hypersurface. We demonstrate explicitly that given one flat slice, a foliation by flat slices can be consistently evolved. We show that when the sources are finite these slices do not admit singularities and we provide an explicit bound on the maximum value assumed by the ext...
متن کاملLow dimensional flat manifolds with some classes of Finsler metric
Flat Riemannian manifolds are (up to isometry) quotient spaces of the Euclidean space R^n over a Bieberbach group and there are an exact classification of of them in 2 and 3 dimensions. In this paper, two classes of flat Finslerian manifolds are stuided and classified in dimensions 2 and 3.
متن کاملRiemann Poisson Manifolds and Kähler-riemann Foliations
1 Riemann Poisson manifolds were introduced by the author in [1] and studied in more details in [2]. Kähler-Riemann foliations form an interesting subset of the Riemannian foliations with remarkable properties ( see [3]). In this paper we will show that to give a regular Riemann Poisson structure on a manifold M is equivalent to to give a Kähler-Riemann foliation on M such that the leafwise sym...
متن کاملNice foliations of globally hyperbolic manifolds
In the research on classical field theory on Lorentzian manifolds, over the decades it became more and more transparent that the most appropriate geometric category for classical field theory is the one of globally hyperbolic manifolds (together with their casusal embeddings). On one hand, this is due to its relatively easy and invariant definition as the category of manifolds with compact caus...
