Engel CR submanifolds of

Eduardo Fernández, Álvaro del Pino, Wei Zhou

We give a sufficient condition for an -bundle over a -manifold to admit an immersion (or embedding) into so that its complex tangencies define an En…

-algebroids and the variety of foliation jets

Francis Bischoff, Álvaro del Pino, Aldo Witte

We introduce and classify singular foliations of -type, which formalize the properties of vector fields that are tangent to a submanifold to order . When…

Jiggling: an h-principle without homotopical assumptions

Anna Fokma, Álvaro del Pino, Lauran Toussaint

The jiggling lemma of Thurston shows that any triangulation can be jiggled (read: subdivided and then perturbed) to be in general position with respect to a distribution. Our main…

Jets of foliations and -algebroids

Francis Bischoff, Álvaro del Pino, Aldo Witte

In this article, we introduce and study singular foliations of -type. These singular foliations formalize the properties of vector fields that are tangent to order along a…

Wrinkling and Haefliger structures

Anna Fokma, Álvaro del Pino, Lauran Toussaint

Wrinkling techniques, introduced by Eliashberg and Mishachev, are typically used to prove h-principles of the form: ``formal solutions of a partial differential relation $\mathcal{…

Classification of tangent and transverse knots in bracket-generating distributions

Javier Martínez-Aguinaga, Álvaro del Pino

Consider a manifold, of dimension greater than 3, equipped with a bracket-generating distribution. In this article we prove complete h-principles for embedded regular horizontal cu…

Wrinkling h-principles for integral submanifolds of jet spaces

Álvaro del Pino, Lauran Toussaint

Y. Eliashberg and N. Mishachev introduced the notion of wrinkled embedding to show that any tangential homotopy can be approximated by a homotopy of topological embeddings with mil…

Introducing sub-Riemannian and sub-Finsler Billiards

Lucas Dahinden, Álvaro del Pino

We define billiards in the context of sub-Finsler Geometry. We provide symplectic and variational (or rather, control theoretical) descriptions of the problem and show that they co…

On the classification of prolongations up to Engel homotopy

Álvaro del Pino

In [CPPP] it was shown that Engel structures satisfy an existence -principle, and the question of whether a full -principle holds was left open. In this note we address the c…
