On Holonomy in (regular) Riemannian Foliations
Right now, I am trying to understanding the role of holonomy fields on Riemannian foliations, which lead me to the following (probably topological) groupoid:
Let $\mathcal{F}\subset M$ be a ...

The Tangent Bundle of the Space of CR Structures on S^(2n+1)
Let $M$ be a smooth compact $n$-manifold without boundary, $g$ some choice of Riemannian metric on $M$, and $\omega_g$ the volume form gotten from $g$. Say you're interested in finding extrema for ...

Regularity of the distance from the boundary in singular riemannian manifolds
I am looking for references related with the regularity of the distance from the boundary in singular Riemannian manifolds.
I assume the following setting. $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold, with ...

Geometric interpretation for a connection whose corresponding distribution generates the whole Lie algebras of vector fields
Let we have a connection on a manifold $M$ so it is considered as a distribution on the tangent bundle $TM$ of $M$. The integrability of this distrbution is equivalent to flatness of the connection.

Homogeneous Carnot group, its Lie algebra and Carnot-Carathéodory ball
Background: Let the smooth vector fields $X=(X_1,\cdots,X_m)$ define on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and they satisfy the following assumption:
(H1): There is a dilation structure
$$\delta_{t}:\mathbb{R}^n\to \...

A question about a paper of Bismut and Lebeau
Let $X$ be a Riemannian manifold, and $Y\hookrightarrow X$ be a closed submanifold of $X$ with normal bundle $N$ with the induced metric.
Then near $Y$, we have $$dv_X(y,Z)=k(y,Z)dv_Y(y)dv_{N_y}(Z),$$...
