Rigidity of Lie foliations with locally symmetric leaves

Gael Meigniez, Hiraku Nozawa

We prove that if the leaves of a minimal Lie foliation are locally isometric to a symmetric space of non-compact type without a Poincare disk factor, then the foliation is smoothly…

Harmonic measures and rigidity for transverse foliations on Seifert -manifolds

Masanori Adachi, Yoshifumi Matsuda, Hiraku Nozawa

Thurston proposed, in part of an unfinished manuscript, to study surface group actions on by using an -connection on the suspension bundle obtained from a harmonic measu…

On statistics which are almost sufficient from the viewpoint of the Fisher metrics

Kaori Yamaguchi, Hiraku Nozawa

A statistic on a statistical model is sufficient if it has no information loss, namely, the Fisher metric of the induced model coincides with that of the original model due to Kull…

Harmonic measures and rigidity for surface group actions on the circle

Masanori Adachi, Yoshifumi Matsuda, Hiraku Nozawa

We study rigidity properties of actions of a torsion-free lattice of on the circle . We follow the approaches of Frankel and Thurston proposed in pre…

Generalized Bishop frames on curves on E^4

Hiraku Nozawa, Subaru Nomoto

We introduce and study generalized Bishop frames on regular curves, which are generalizations of the Frenet and Bishop frames for regular curves on higher dimensional spaces. There…

On a classification of irreducible periodic diffeomorphisms on surfaces which commute with certain involution

Norihisa Takahashi, Hiraku Nozawa

Ishizaka classified up to conjugacy hyperelliptic periodic automorphisms of a surface. Here, an involution on a surface is hyperelliptic if and only if $Σ_{g}/\langle I…

Wild Cantor actions

Jesús Álvarez López, Ramón Barral Lijó, Olga Lukina +1

The discriminant group of a minimal equicontinuous action of a group on a Cantor set is the subgroup of the closure of the action in the group of homeomorphisms of , con…

Coarse distinguishability of graphs with symmetric growth

Jesús Antonio Álvarez López, Ramón Barral Lijó, Hiraku Nozawa

Let be a connected, locally finite graph with symmetric growth. We prove that there is a vertex coloring and some such that every automor…

Dehn twist presentations of hyperelliptic periodic diffeomorphisms on closed surfaces

Norihisa Takahashi, Hiraku Nozawa

We classify up to conjugacy the group generated by a commuting pair of a periodic diffeomorphism and a hyperelliptic involution on an oriented closed surface. This result can be vi…

Chaotic Delone sets

Jesús Antonio Álvarez López, Ramón Barral Lijó, John Hunton +2

We present a definition of chaotic Delone set, and establish the genericity of chaos in the space of -Delone sets for . We also present a hyperbolic analogue of the…

Genericity of chaos for colored graphs

Ramón Barral Lijó, Hiraku Nozawa

To each colored graph, one can associate its closure in the universal space of isomorphism classes of pointed colored graphs, and this subspace can be regarded as a generalized sub…

Localization of Chern-Simons type invariants of Riemannian foliations

Oliver Goertsches, Hiraku Nozawa, Dirk Toeben

We prove an Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne type localization formula for Killing foliations in the context of equivariant basic cohomology. As an application, we localize some Chern-Si…

Haefliger cohomology of complete Riemannian foliations

Hiraku Nozawa

Haefliger cohomology characterizes taut foliated manifolds by Haefliger's theorem. We show that Haefliger cohomology characterizes strongly tense foliated manifolds, namely, foliat…

Rigidity and vanishing of basic Dolbeault cohomology of Sasakian manifolds

Oliver Goertsches, Hiraku Nozawa, Dirk Toeben

The basic Dolbeault cohomology groups of a Sasakian manifold M are invariants of its characteristic foliation F (the orbit foliation of the Reeb flow). We show some fundamental pro…

Tenseness of Riemannian flows

Hiraku Nozawa, José Ignacio Royo Prieto

We show that any transversally complete Riemannian foliation F of dimension one on any possibly non-compact manifold M is tense; namely, (M,F) admits a Riemannian metric such that…

Secondary characteristic classes of transversely homogeneous foliations

Jesús A. Álvarez López, Hiraku Nozawa

Let G be a simple Lie group of real rank one, and S the ideal boundary of the corresponding symmetric space of noncompact type (H^n_R, H^n_C, H^n_H or H^2_O). We show the finitenes…

Equivariant cohomology of K-contact manifolds

Oliver Goertsches, Hiraku Nozawa, Dirk Toeben

We investigate the equivariant cohomology of the natural torus action on a K-contact manifold and its relation to the topology of the Reeb flow. Using the contact moment map, we sh…

Continuity of the Alvarez class under deformations

Hiraku Nozawa

A foliated manifold (M,F) is minimizable if there exists a Riemannian metric g on M such that every leaf of F is a minimal submanifold of (M,g). Alvarez Lopez defined a cohomology…

Minimizability of developable Riemannian foliations

Hiraku Nozawa

Let (M,F) be a closed manifold with a Riemannian foliation. We show that the secondary characteristic classes of the Molino's commuting sheaf of (M,F) vanish if (M,F) is developabl…

Five dimensional K-contact manifolds of rank 2

A K-contact manifold is a smooth manifold M with a contact form whose Reeb flow preserves a Riemannian metric on M. Main examples are Sasakian manifolds. Our results in this paper…

Rigidity of the Álvarez classes of Riemannian foliations with nilpotent structure Lie algebras

Deformation of Sasakian metrics

Deformations of the Reeb flow of a Sasakian manifold as transversely Kähler flows may not admit compatible Sasakian metrics anymore. We show that the triviality of the (0,2)-compon…
