AbstractThe geodesic flow of a foliated Riemannian manifold (M, F) is studied. The invariance of some smooth measure is established under some geometrical conditions on F. The Lyapunov exponents and the entropy of this flow are estimated. As an application, the non-existence of foliations with ‘short’ second fundamental tensors is obtained on compact negatively curved manifolds.

AbstractFor foliations on Riemannian manifolds, we develop elementary geometric and topological properties of the mean curvature one-form κ and the normal plane field one-form β. Through examples, we show that an important result of Kamber-Tondeur on κ is in general a best possible result. But we demonstrate that their bundle-like hypothesis can be relaxed somewhat in codimension 2. We study the structure of umbilic foliations in this more general context and in our final section establish some analogous results for flows.

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.

Starting from the g-natural Riemannian metric G on the tangent bundle TM of a Riemannian manifold (M,g), we construct a family of the Golden Riemannian structures ? on the tangent bundle (TM,G). Then we investigate the integrability of such Golden Riemannian structures on the tangent bundle TM and show that there is a direct correlation between the locally decomposable property of (TM,?,G) and the locally flatness of manifold (M,g).
