In this announcement we discuss the close relationship between the topology of 3-manifolds
and the foliations that is possesses. We will introduce and state the main result, then use it …

This is a well written and informative survey of group actions on the circle. The main topics
are rotation numbers, the bounded Euler class and actions of lattices. The focus is on …

This unique reference, aimed at research topologists, gives an exposition of the'pseudo-
Anosov'theory of foliations of 3-manifolds. This theory generalizes Thurston's theory of …

Conclusion Nous espérons avoir convaincu le lecteur qu'il peut être utile de considérer la
classe de Maslov comme une classe bornée. Dans [Gh], nous avons montré que la classe …

We develop a theory of convex cocompact subgroups of the mapping class group MCG of a
closed, oriented surface S of genus at least 2, in terms of the action on Teichmüller space …

Soit V une variété fibrée en cercles au-dessus d'une surface S de genre g>0. Cet article
fournit, pour les structures de contact sur V, les analogues de résultats bien connus pour les …

We determine the bounded cohomology of the group of homeomorphisms of certain low-
dimensional manifolds. In particular, for the group of orientation-preserving …

An oriented three-manifold with torus boundary admits either no L-space Dehn filling, a
unique L-space filling, or an interval of L-space fillings. In the latter case, which we call …

We show that the properties of admitting a co-oriented taut foliation and having a left-
orderable fundamental group are equivalent for rational homology 3-sphere graph …
