Gibbs measures for foliated bundles with negatively curved leaves

In this paper we develop a notion of Gibbs measure for the geodesic flow tangent to a foliated bundle over a compact and negatively curved basis. We also develop a notion of $F$-harmonic measure and prove that there exists a natural bijective correspondence between the two. For projective foliated bundles with $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1$-fibers without transverse invariant measure, we show the uniqueness of these measures for any Hölder potential on the basis. In that case we also prove that $F$-harmonic measures are realized as weighted limits of large balls tangent to the leaves and that their conditional measures on the fibers are limits of weighted averages on the orbits of the holonomy group.

The Teichmüller space of the Hirsch foliation

We prove that the Teichmüller space of the Hirsch foliation (a minimal foliation of a closed 3-manifold by non-compact hyperbolic surfaces) is homeomorphic to the space of closed curves in the plane. This allows us to show that that the space of hyperbolic metrics on the foliation is a trivial principal fiber bundle. And that the structure group of this bundle, the arc-connected component of the identity in the group of homeomorphisms which are smooth on each leaf and vary continuously in the smooth topology in the transverse direction of the foliation, is contractible.

Singularities for analytic continuations of holonomy germs of Riccati foliations

In this paper we study the problem of analytic extension of germs of holonomy of algebraic foliations. More precisely we prove that for a Riccati foliation associated to a branched projective structure over a finite type surface which is non-elementary and parabolic, all the germs of holonomy between a fiber and a holomorphic section of the bundle are led to singularities by almost every developed geodesic ray. We study in detail the distribution of these singularities and prove in particular that they are included and dense in the limit set and uncountable, giving another negative answer to a conjecture of Loray.
