Harmonic functions on R-covered foliations and group actions on the circle
Let (M,F) be a compact codimension-one foliated manifold whose leaves are equipped with Riemannian metrics, and consider continuous functions on M that are harmonic along the leaves of F . If every such function is constant on leaves we say that (M,F) has the Liouville property. Our main result is that codimension-one foliated bundles over compact negatively curved manifolds satisfy the Liouvil...

متن کاملAn example concerning the Theory of Levels for codimension-one foliations
An important aspect of foliations concerns the existence of local minimal sets. Recall that a foliated manifold has the LMS property if, for every open, saturated set W and every leaf L ⊂ W , the relative closure L̄ ∩W contains a minimal set of F |W . A fundamental result (due to Cantwell-Conlon [2] and Duminy-Hector [5]) establishes that for codimension-one foliations which are transversely of ...
متن کاملLECTURES ON THE TWISTED HIGHER HARMONIC SIGNATURE FOR FOLIATIONS February 3, 2010
These lectures review the classical Hirzebruch signature theorem, and show how it extends to the signature defined on Riemannian foliations using leafwise differential forms with coefficients in a leafwise U(p, q)-flat complex bundle. We give background on all the concepts needed to make this extension.
متن کاملLong time behavior of leafwise heat flow for Riemannian foliations
For any Riemannian foliation F on a closed manifold M with an arbitrary bundle-like metric, leafwise heat flow of differential forms is proved to preserve smoothness on M at infinite time. This result and its proof have consequences about the space of bundle-like metrics on M , about the dimension of the space of leafwise harmonic forms, and mainly about the second term of the differentiable sp...
