The subject of this volume, recent developments in foliation theory and important related analytic and geometric techniques, is an active field in the application of both global analysis and geometric topological theory of manifolds to the study of foliations. This volume includes research papers by leading specialists, giving an overview of this subject.

The Taniguchi Symposium on global analysis on manifolds focused mainly on the relationships between some geometric structures of manifolds and analysis, especially spectral analysis on noncompact manifolds. Included in the present volume are expanded versions of most of the invited lectures. In these original research articles, the reader will find up-to date accounts of the subject.

This volume contains surveys and research articles regarding different aspects of the theory of foliation. The main aspects concern the topology of foliations of low-dimensional manifolds, the geometry of foliated Riemannian manifolds and the dynamical properties of foliations. Among the surveys are lecture notes devoted to the analysis of some operator algebras on foliated manifolds and the theory of confoliations (objects defined recently by W Thurston and Y Eliashberg, situated between foliations and contact structures). Among the research articles one can find a detailed proof of an unpublished theorem (due to Duminy) concerning ends of leaves in exceptional minimal sets.

This volume is a compilation of new results and surveys on the current state of some aspects of the foliation theory presented during the conference “FOLIATIONS 2012”. It contains recent materials on foliation theory which is related to differential geometry, the theory of dynamical systems and differential topology. Both the original research and survey articles found in here should inspire students and researchers interested in foliation theory and the related fields to plan his/her further research.

This volume takes a look at the current state of the theory of foliations, with surveys and research articles concerning different aspects. The focused aspects cover geometry of foliated Riemannian manifolds, Riemannian foliations and dynamical properties of foliations and some aspects of classical dynamics related to the field. Among the articles readers may find a study of foliations which admit a transverse contractive flow, an extensive survey on non-commutative geometry of Riemannian foliations, an article on contact structures converging to foliations, as well as a few articles on conformal geometry of foliations. This volume also contains a list of open problems in foliation theory which were collected from the participants of the Foliations 2005 conference. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Morphisms of Pseudogroups and foliated Maps (808 KB). Contents: Morphisms of Pseudogroups and Foliated Maps (J ulvarez Lpez & X Masa); On Infinitesimal Derivatives of the Bott Class (T Asuke); Hirsch Foliations in Codimension Greater Than One (A Bis, S Hurder & J Shive); Extrinsic Geometry of Foliations on 3-Manifolds (D Bolotov); Extrinsic Geometry of Foliations (M Czarnecki & P Walczak); Transversal Twistor Spinors on a Riemannian Foliation (S D Jung); A Survey on Simplicial Volume and Invariants of Foliations and Laminations (T Kuessner); Harmonic Foliations of the Plane, a Conformal Approach (R Langevin); Consecutive Shifts Along Orbits of Vector Fields (S Maksymenko); Generalized Equivariant Index Theory (K Richardson); Vanishing Results for Spectral Terms of a Riemannian Foliation (V Slesar); On the Group of Foliation Preserving Diffeomorphisms (T Tsuboi); and other papers. Readership: Researchers and graduate students in such areas of mathematics as foliations, dynamical systems (Anosov and Morse-Smale, in particular), Riemannian and conformal geometry; and in other fields such as mathematical physics, non-commutative geometry and analysis on manifolds."

These notes were the basis for a series of ten lectures given in January 1984 at Polytechnic Institute of New York under the sponsorship of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences and the National Science Foundation. The lectures were aimed at mathematicians who knew either some differential geometry or partial differential equations, although others could understand the lectures. Author's Summary:Given a Riemannian Manifold $(M,g)$ one can compute the sectional, Ricci, and scalar curvatures. In other special circumstances one also has mean curvatures, holomorphic curvatures, etc. The inverse problem is, given a candidate for some curvature, to determine if there is some metric $g$ with that as its curvature. One may also restrict ones attention to a special class of metrics, such as Kahler or conformal metrics, or those coming from an embedding. These problems lead one to (try to) solve nonlinear partial differential equations. However, there may be topological or analytic obstructions to solving these equations. A discussion of these problems thus requires a balanced understanding between various existence and non-existence results. The intent of this volume is to give an up-to-date survey of these questions, including enough background, so that the current research literature is accessible to mathematicians who are not necessarily experts in PDE or differential geometry. The intended audience is mathematicians and graduate students who know either PDE or differential geometry at roughly the level of an intermediate graduate course.
