Neste trabalho calculamos a classe de Euler de uma folheação umbílica em um ambiente com forma de curvatura apropriada. Combinamos o teorema de Hopf-Milnor e o número de Euler de uma folheação, definido por Connes, para mostrar como a geometria da folheação influencia na topologia da variedade folheada, bem como na topologia da folheação. Além disso, exibimos uma lista de invariantes topológicos para campos vetoriais unitários em hipersuperfícies fechadas do espaço Euclidiano, e mostramos como estes invariantes podem ser empregados como obstruções a certas folheações com geometria prescrita. / In this work we compute the Euler class of an umbilic foliation on a manifold with suitable curvature form. We combine the Hopf-Milnor theorem and the Euler number of a foliation, defined by Connes, in order to show how the geometry of the foliation influences the topology of the foliated space as well as the topology of the foliation. Besides, we exhibit a list of topological invariants for unit vector fields on closed Euclidean hypersurfaces, and show how these invariants may be employed as obstructions to certain foliations with prescribed geometry.

Com este objetivo, usamos um complexo não-linear formado por mapas e variedades na categoria Fréchet Tame. Aplicamos uma variação do Teorema da Função Inversa de Nash-Moser ao complexo não-linear obtendo uma relação entre estabilidade e a exatidão tame da linearização do complexo não-linear. Além disso, o complexo linearizado é identificado com um trecho do complexo de Rham da folheação, ou seja, transforma-se o estudo de estabilidade em analisar a exatidão tame de um grupo de cohomologia da folheação. Assim descrevemos uma família de folheações estáveis, chamadas folheações infinitesimalmente estáveis. Esta família dá uma direção para o estudo de estabilidade de folheações / Abstract: In this work, we study the concept of stability for foliations. With this aim we use a non linear complex formed by maps and manifolds in Fréchet Tame category. We apply a variation of The Nash-Moser Inverse Function Theorem to non-linear complex obtaining a relation between the stability and the tame exactness of the linearized complex. Moreover, the linearized complex is identified with a piece of the complex de Rham of the foliation, i.e., we transformed the stability study into a analysis of tameness vanishing on the cohomology group of the foliation. Thus we describe a family of stable foliations, called infinitesimally stable foliations. This family gives a direction for the study of stability of foliations / Mestrado / Matematica / Mestre em Matemática

Le théorème de l'indice d'Atiyah et Singer, démontré en 1963, est un résultat qui a permis de relier des thématiques mathématiques variées, allant des équations aux dérivées partielles a la topologie et la géométrie différentielle. Plus précisément, il fait le lien entre la dimension de l'espace des solutions d'une équation aux dérivées partielles elliptique et des invariants topologiques du type (co)homologie, et a des applications importantes, regroupant plusieurs théorèmes majeurs venant de divers domaines (géométrie algébrique, topologie différentielle, analyse fonctionnelle). D'un autre cote, les fonctions zêta associées à des opérateurs pseudo différentiels sur une variété riemannienne close contiennent dans leurs propriétés analytiques des informations intéressantes. On peut par exemple retrouver dans les résidus le théorème de Weyl sur l asymptotique du nombre de valeurs propres d'un laplacien, et en particulier le volume de la variété. En se plaçant dans le cadre de la géométrie différentielle non commutative développée par Connes, on peut pousser cette idée plus loin. Plus précisément, on peut obtenir, en combinant des techniques de renormalisation zêta avec la propriété d'excision en cohomologie cyclique, des théorèmes d'indice dans l'esprit de celui d'Atiyah-Singer. L'intérêt de ce point de vue réside dans sa généralisation possible à des situations géométriques plus délicates. La présente thèse établit des résultats dans cette direction / The index theorem of Atiyah and Singer, discovered in 1963, is a striking result which relates many different fields in mathematics going from the analysis of partial differential equations to differential topology and geometry. To be more precise, this theorem relates the dimension of the space of some elliptic partial differential equations and topological invariants coming from (co)homology theories, and has important applications. Many major results from different fields (algebraic topology, differential topology, functional analysis) may be seen as corollaries of this result, or obtained from techniques developed in the framework of index theory. On another side, zeta functions associated to pseudodifferential operators on a closed Riemannian manifold contain in their analytic properties many interesting informations. For instance, the Weyl theorem on the asymptotic number of eigenvalues of a Laplacian may be recovered within the residues of the zeta function. This gives in particular the volume of the manifold, which is a geometric data. Using the framework of noncommutative geometry developed by Connes, this idea may be pushed further, yielding index theorems in the spirit of the one of Atiyah Singer. The interest in this viewpoint is to be suitable for more delicate geometrical situations. The present thesis establishes results in this direction

Dans le modèle standard de la cosmologie, la dynamique globale de l'Univers est modélisée par l'intermédiaire d'un espace-temps de référence (ou de fond) fortement symétrique, admettant des sections spatiales homogènes et isotropes. Le couplage entre les sources fluides, homogènes, et l'expansion globale, y est déterminé par les équations d'Einstein de la Relativité Générale. La formation de structures inhomogènes de matière peut également être décrite dans ce modèle. Selon l'époque et l'échelle considérées, cette description est effectuée soit à l'aide d'un schéma perturbatif relativiste supposant une faible déviation de chaque grandeur par rapport au fond homogène imposé, soit au moyen d'une approche newtonienne au sein du même fond en expansion. L'interprétation des observations dans ce modèle suggère cependant une accélération inattendue de l'expansion, qui requiert une nouvelle composante énergétique mal comprise, l' «Énergie Noire», en plus de la Matière Noire. La cosmologie inhomogène a pour but de lever les restrictions imposées par ces modèles sur la géométrie et sur les sources sans sortir du cadre de la Relativité Générale. Cela peut notamment permettre d'améliorer le modèle de formation des structures pour prendre en compte de fortes déviations par rapport à l'homogénéité dans la distribution de matière et dans la géométrie. Cela permet également d'étudier les conséquences dynamiques, appelées effets de rétroaction («backreaction»), du développement local de telles inhomogénéités sur l'expansion à de plus grandes échelles. De telles rétroactions peuvent alors reproduire, au moins partiellement, les comportements attribués à l'Énergie Noire ou à la Matière Noire. Au cours de mon travail de thèse sous la direction de Thomas Buchert, j'ai étudié plusieurs aspects analytiques de la cosmologie inhomogène en Relativité Générale. Je présente ci-dessous les résultats de travaux au sein de collaborations, auxquels j'ai apporté des contributions majeures dans le cadre de la thèse. Je me suis tout d'abord concentré sur l'écriture d'un schéma d'approximation relativiste lagrangien, pour décrire la dynamique locale des structures jusqu'à un régime non-linéaire, dans des fluides parfaits barotropes irrotationnels. Je me suis ensuite intéressé à la description effective de fluides inhomogènes admettant un tenseur d'énergie-impulsion général ainsi que de la vorticité, au moyen de deux schémas possibles de moyenne spatiale. Ces schémas s'appliquent à un choix quelconque des hypersurfaces spatiales sur lesquelles moyenner, et fournissent pour chacun de ces choix un système d'équations d'évolution effectives, présentant plusieurs termes de rétroaction, pour un domaine d'intégration suivant la propagation des sources. Cela permet une discussion qualitative de la dépendance au choix du feuilletage des équations moyennes et des rétroactions. J'ai également étudié la réécriture de ces schémas de moyennes et équations d'évolution, et d'autres obtenus de façon similaire, sous une forme unifiée et manifestement 4-covariante. Ce dernier résultat permettra une étude plus explicite de la dépendance au feuilletage / In the standard model of cosmology, the global dynamics of the Universe is modelled via a highly symmetric background spacetime with homogeneous and isotropic spatial sections. The coupling of the homogeneous fluid sources to the overall expansion is then determined by the Einstein equations of General Relativity. In addition, the formation of inhomogeneous matter structures is described either via a relativistic perturbation scheme assuming small deviations of all fields to the prescribed homogeneous background, or using Newtonian dynamics within the same expanding background, depending on the scale and epoch. However, the interpretation of observations within this model calls for an unexpectedly accelerated expansion requiring a poorly-understood `Dark Energy' component, in addition to Dark Matter. Inhomogeneous cosmology aims at relaxing the restrictions of these models on the geometry and sources while staying within the framework of General Relativity. It can allow, in particular, for an improved modelling of the formation of structures accounting for strong deviations from homogeneity in the matter distribution and the geometry. It can also study the dynamical consequences, or backreaction effects, of the development of such inhomogeneities on the expansion of larger scales. Such a backreaction may then reproduce, at least partially, the behaviours attributed to Dark Energy or Dark Matter. During my PhD under the direction of Thomas Buchert, I have been working on several analytical aspects of general-relativistic inhomogeneous cosmology. I present below the results of collaborations in which I played a major role in the context of the PhD. I first focussed on the expression of a relativistic Lagrangian approximation scheme for the description of the local dynamics of structures up to a nonlinear regime in irrotational perfect barotropic fluids. I then considered the effective description of inhomogeneous fluids with vorticity and a general energy-momentum tensor in terms of two possible schemes of spatial averaging. These schemes are applicable to any choice of spatial hypersurfaces of averaging, providing for each choice a set of effective evolution equations, featuring several backreaction terms, for an averaging region comoving with the sources. This allows for a qualitative discussion of the dependence of the average equations and backreactions on the foliation choice. I also studied the rewriting of such averaging schemes and evolution equations under a unified and manifestly 4-covariant form. This latter result will allow for a more explicit investigation of foliation dependence

Polar actions are also studied, for they are active research subject that motivate and illustrate polar foliations. We give a proof of the nonexistence of proper polar foliations on compact manifolds of nonpositive curvature.

We prove this same result in the special case of polar actions by using the theory of taut submanifolds. The adjoint and conjugation actions are brie y presented as classical examples of polar actions.

This is even more clear in the investigation of the so-called embedding space-time theories. In this work we focus our attention in the Cauchy problem. These have played a crucial role in our understanding of the mathematical struc­ture of general relativity and embedding theories. We investigate the similarities and diffe­rences between the two approaches.

Dans ce mémoire nous étudions les hypersurfaces Levi-plates analytiques dans les surfaces algébriques complexes. Il s'agit des hypersurfaces réelles qui admettent un feuilletage par des courbes holomorphes, appelé le feuilletage de Cauchy Riemann (CR). Dans un premier temps nous montrons que si ce dernier admet une dynamique chaotique (i.e. s'il n'admet pas de mesure transverse invariante) alors les composantes connexes de l'extérieur de l'hypersurface sont des modifications de domaines de Stein. Ceci permet d'étendre le feuilletage CR en un feuilletage algébrique singulier sur la surface complexe ambiante. Nous appliquons ce résultat pour montrer, par l'absurde, qu'une hypersurface Levi-plate analytique qui admet une structure affine transverse dans une surface algébrique complexe possède une mesure transverse invariante. Ceci nous amène à conjecturer que les hypersurfaces Levi-plates dans les surfaces algébriques complexes qui sont difféomorphes à un fibré hyperbolique en tores sur le cercle sont des fibrations par courbes algébriques. / In this work we study analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in complex algebraic surfaces. These are real hypersurfaces that admit a foliation by holomorphic curves, called Cauchy Riemann foliation (CR). First, we show that if this foliation admits chaotic dynamics (i.e. if it doesn't admit an invariant transverse measure), then the connected components of the complement of the hypersurface are Stein. This allows us to extend the CR foliation to a singular algebraic foliation on the ambient complex surface. We apply this result to prove, by contradiction, that analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces admitting a transverse affine structure in a complex algebraic surface have a transverse invariant measure. This leads us to conjecture that Levi-flat hypersurfaces in complex algebraic surfaces that are diffeomorphic to a hyperbolic tori bundle over the circle are fibrations by algebraic curves.

[pt] Nesta tese, estudamos algumas propriedades dinâmicas e geométricas do fluxo geodésico de certas variedades compactas sem pontos conjugados. A tese tem duas partes principais. Primeiro estendemos o trabalho de Gelfert-Ruggiero sobre a existência de um fator expansivo para o fluxo geodésico ao caso de superfícies compactas sem pontos conjugados e gênero maior que um. A idéia principal é definir uma relação de equivalência que colapsa as órbitas bi-asintóticas do fluxo geodésico. Isto induz um fator que preserva o tempo e é semi-conjugado ao fluxo geodésico sob o mapa do quociente. Além disso, o fator é expansivo, topologicamente misto e tem uma estrutura de produto local. Estas propriedades implicam que o fator tem uma única medida de máxima entropia. Levantamos esta medida para o fibrado tangente unitário e nos certificamos de que é a única medida de máxima entropia para o fluxo geodésico. Isto fornece uma prova alternativa do teorema de Climenhaga-Knieper-War para o resultado de unicidade. Na última parte da tese, estendemos alguns resultados de Gelfert e Ruggiero de superfícies compactas do gênero superior e sem pontos conjugados para n-variedades compactas sem pontos conjugados e recobrimento universal Gromov hiperbólico. Assumindo que os fibrados de Green são contínuos e a existência de uma geodésica fechada hiperbólica, mostramos que os fibrados de Green são tangentes às foliações horósfericas. Além disso, as foliações horósfericas são as únicas foliações contínuas do fibrado tangente unitário, invariantes pelo fluxo geodésico e que satisfazem uma condição de transversalidade local. Este fato só foi conhecido para superfícies compactas sem pontos conjugados pelo trabalho de Barbosa-Ruggiero, e em dimensões mais elevadas assumindo a condição mais forte de assíntota limitada pelo trabalho de Eschenburg. / [en] In this thesis, we study some dynamical and geometrical properties of the geodesic flow of certain compact manifolds without conjugate points. The thesis has two main parts. We first extend Gelfert-Ruggiero s work about the existence of an expansive factor for the geodesic flow to the case of compact surfaces without conjugate points and genus greater than one. The main idea is to define an equivalence relation that collapses biasymptotic orbits of the geodesic flow. This induces a factor time-preserving semi-conjugate to the geodesic flow under the quotient map. Moreover, the factor is expansive, topologically mixing and has a local product structure. These properties imply that the factor has a unique measure of maximal entropy. We lift this measure to the unit tangent bundle and make sure that it is the unique measure of maximal entropy for the geodesic flow. This provides an alternative proof of Climenhaga-Knieper-War’s theorem for the uniqueness result. In the last part of the thesis, we extend some results of Gelfert and Ruggiero from compact higher genus surfaces without conjugate points to compact n-manifolds without conjugate points and Gromov hyperbolic universal covering. Assuming that Green bundles are continuous and the existence of a hyperbolic closed geodesic, we show that Green bundles are tangent to the horospherical foliations. Moreover, the horospherical foliations are the only continuous foliations of the unit tangent bundle, invariant by the geodesic flow and satisfying a condition of local transversality. This fact was only known for compact surfaces without conjugate points by Barbosa-Ruggiero s work, and in higher dimensions assuming the stronger condition of bounded asymptote by Eschenburg s work.
