The maximal atlas of a foliation
نویسنده
چکیده
We shall describe such maximal atlas and provide it with an algebraic structure that brings along the holonomy groupoid almost for free. This will, at the same time, correct an attempt I made in [5] to ”algebraicize” some considerations of Haefliger. The content is not very original; one may say that it only synthesises insights that are more or less explicit in the work of Haefliger, Pradines, and Moerdijk.

On the k-nullity foliations in Finsler geometry
Here, a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. Certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $M$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. It is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive...
متن کاملThe maximal slicing of a Schwarzschild black hole
Abstract. We describe recent work due to Niall Ó Murchadha and the author (grqc/9706046, Phys. Rev. D57, 4728 (1998)) on the late time behaviour of the maximal foliation of the extended Schwarzschild geometry which results from evolving a time symmetric slice into the past and future, with time running equally fast at both spatial ends of the manifold. We study the lapse function of this foliat...
متن کاملIdentification of Riemannian foliations on the tangent bundle via SODE structure
The geometry of a system of second order differential equations is the geometry of a semispray, which is a globally defined vector field on TM. The metrizability of a given semispray is of special importance. In this paper, the metric associated with the semispray S is applied in order to study some types of foliations on the tangent bundle which are compatible with SODE structure. Indeed, suff...
متن کاملThe Transverse Geometry of G-manifolds and Riemannian Foliations
Given a compact Riemannian manifold on which a compact Lie group acts by isometries, it is shown that there exists a Riemannian foliation whose leaf closure space is naturally isometric (as a metric space) to the orbit space of the group action. Furthermore, this isometry (and foliation) may be chosen so that a leaf closure is mapped to an orbit with the same volume, even though the dimension o...

Detailed microstructural analysis has been conducted in the Ghandab metamorphic Complex, which is one of the most important high temperature – low pressure regional contact metamorphism studied areas in Iran. Textural evidence suggests the sequence of growth of minerals with increasing metamorphic grade and during development of a crenulation foliation. The sequence of mineral growth is conside...
