Milnor fibrations on rho-tubes and rho-spheres for real analytic map germs

For a real analytic map germ $G:(\mathbb{R}^m,0)\to(\mathbb{R}^p,0)$, we study Milnor fibrations obtained by replacing the squared Euclidean distance with an analytic control function $ρ$ defining the origin. We formulate the corresponding Milnor set and condition (b), derive criteria for tube and sphere fibrations, and examine their dependence on $ρ$. The family $G_ρ=(xz,\,yzρ)$ provides explicit changes of regularity under elliptic controls. In particular, the germ $G(x,y,z)=(xz,\,yz(10x^2+y^2+3z^2))$ admits neither the induced tube nor sphere fibration for the Euclidean control, while both fibrations exist for the adapted function $ρ=10x^2+y^2+3z^2$. Thus the control function can be essential to the local fibration structure.

Stratified vector fields on orbit spaces

Using Morita type stratifications, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between geometric vector fields on a separated differentiable stack and stratified vector fields on its orbit space. This correspondence enables us to derive a stacky version of the generalized Gauss lemma and to prove a smooth version of Palais' covering isotopy theorem for a class of proper Lie groupoids, thereby extending the classical result for proper Lie group actions.

The closure of linear foliations

This paper presents a simplified geometric proof of the Molino-Alexandrino-Radeschi (MAR) Theorem, which states that the closure of a singular Riemannian foliation on a complete Riemannian manifold is itself a smooth singular Riemannian foliation. Our approach circumvents several technical and analytical tools employed in the previous proof of the Theorem, resulting in a more direct geometric demonstration. We first establish conditions for a projectable foliation to be Riemannian, focusing on compatible connections. We then apply these results to linear foliations on vector bundles and their lifts to frame bundles. Finally, we use these findings to the linearization of singular Riemannian foliations around leaf closures. This method allows us to prove the smoothness of the closure directly for the linear semi-local model, bypassing the need for intermediate results on orbit-like foliations.

On invariant linearization of Lie groupoids

The Linearization Theorem for proper Lie groupoids organizes and generalizes several results for classic geometries. Despite the various approaches and recent works on the subject, the problem of understanding invariant linearization remains somehow open. We address it here, by first giving a counter-example to a previous conjecture, and then proving a sufficient criterion that uses compatible complete metrics and covers the case of proper group actions. We also show a partial converse that fixes and extends previous results in the literature.

Lie groupoids and semi-local models of Singular Riemannian foliations

We describe a local model for any Singular Riemannian Foliation in a neighbourhood of a closed saturated submanifold of a regular stratum. Moreover we construct a Lie groupoid which controls the transverse geometry of the linear approximation of the Singular Riemannian Foliation around these submanifolds. We also discuss the closure of this Lie groupoid and its Lie algebroid.

Geodesics on Riemannian stacks

Metrics on Lie groupoids and differentiable stacks have been introduced recently, extending the Riemannian geometry of manifolds and orbifolds to more general singular spaces. Here we continue that theory, studying stacky curves on Riemannian stacks, measuring their length using stacky metrics, and introducing stacky geodesics. Our main results show that the length of stacky curves measure distances on the orbit space, characterize stacky geodesics as locally minimizing curves, and establish a stacky version of Hopf-Rinow Theorem. We include a concise overview that bypasses nonessential technicalities, and we lay stress on the examples of orbit spaces of isometric actions and leaf spaces of Riemannian foliations.
