Problems of extrinsic geometry of foliations
V. Yu. Rovenskiĭ University of Haifa
Abstract:
This survey is devoted to particular problems of extrinsic geometry of foliations, which, roughly speaking, describes how leaves (or single submanifolds) are located within the ambient pseudo-Riemannian space. We discuss the following topics with the mixed scalar curvature: integral formulas and splitting of foliations, prescribing the mixed curvature of foliations, and variations of functionals defined on foliations, which seem to be central in extrinsic geometry.
Keywords:
extrinsic geometry, pseudo-Riemannian metric, affine connection, foliation, mixed scalar curvature, integral formula, variation.
