The main aspects concern the topology of foliations of low-dimensional manifolds, the geometry of foliated Riemannian manifolds and the dynamical properties of foliations. Among the surveys are lecture notes devoted to the analysis of some operator algebras on foliated manifolds and the theory of confoliations (objects defined recently by W Thurston and Y Eliashberg, situated between foliations and contact structures). Among the research articles one can find a detailed proof of an unpubFoliations geometry and dynamicsFoliations (Mathematics)CongressesDifferential topologyFoliations (Mathematics)Differential topology.514.72Walczak Pawe Grzegorz0Euroworkshop on Foliations Geometry and DynamicsMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818017203321Proceedings of the Euroworkshop on Foliations Geometry and Dynamics4095826UNINA
