The weighted mixed curvature of a foliated manifold
We introduce the weighted mixed curvature of an almost product (e.g. foliated) Riemannian manifold equipped with a vector field. We define several qth Ricci type curvatures, which interpolate between the weighed sectional and Ricci curvatures. New concepts of the ?mixed-curvature-dimension condition? and ?synthetic dimension of a distribution? allow us to renew the estimate of the diameter of a compact Riemannian foliation and splitting results for almost product manifolds of nonnegative/nonpositive weighted mixed scalar curvature. We also study the Toponogov?s type conjecture on dimension of a totally geodesic foliation with positive weighted mixed sectional curvature.
