Rigidity of ADC contact structures

We show by a counter example that any Liouville filling of a ADC closed contact manifold does not have isomorphic integral cohomologies.

Thurston's h-principle and Flexibility of Poisson Structures

We prove an analogue of Thurston's h-principle for $2$-dimensional foliations on manifolds of dimension bigger or equal to $4$, in the presence of a fiber-wise non-degenerate $2$-form. This helps us understand the flexibility of rank $2$ regular Poisson structures on open manifolds with dimension bigger or equal to $4$ and it also helps us understand the flexibility of Poisson structures (not regular) on closed $4$-manifolds.

Foliations with geometric structures

A foliation on a manifold M can be informally thought of as a partition of M into injectively immersed submanifolds, called leaves. In this thesis we study foliations whose leaves carry some specific geometric structures. The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part we classify foliations on open manifolds whose leaves are either locally conformal symplectic or contact manifolds. These foliations can be described by some higher geometric structures - namely the Poisson and the Jacobi structures. In the second part of the thesis, we consider foliations on open contact manifolds whose leaves are contact submanifolds of the ambient space. Theory of h-principle plays the central role in deriving the main results of the thesis. It is a theory rich in topological techniques to solve partial differential relations which arise in connection with topology and geometry. All the geometric structures mentioned above satisfy some differential conditions and that brings us into the realm of the h-principle theory.

On Existence of Regular Jacobi Structures

We prove $h$-principle for locally conformal symplectic foliations and contact foliations on open manifolds. We interpret the result on $h$ principle of contact foliations in terms of the regular Jacobi structures.
