 Olga Lukina Mathematics , 2011, DOI: 10.1016/j.topol.2012.08.011 Abstract: We study a class of graph foliated spaces, or graph matchbox manifolds, initially constructed by Kenyon and Ghys. For graph foliated spaces we introduce a quantifier of dynamical complexity which we call its level. We develop the fusion construction, which allows us to associate to every two graph foliated spaces a third one which contains the former two in its closure. Although the underlying idea of the fusion is simple, it gives us a powerful tool to study graph foliated spaces. Using fusion, we prove that there is a hierarchy of graph foliated spaces at infinite levels. We also construct examples of graph foliated spaces with various dynamical and geometric properties.
 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: Matchbox manifolds are foliated spaces whose transversal spaces are totally disconnected. In this work, we show that the local dynamics of a certain class of minimal matchbox manifolds classify their total space, up to homeomorphism. A key point is the use Alexandroff's notion of a $Y$--like continuum, where $Y$ is an aspherical closed manifold which satisfies the Borel Conjecture. In particular, we show that two equicontinuous ${\mathcal T}^n$--like matchbox manifolds of the same dimension, are homeomorphic if and only if their corresponding restricted pseudogroups are return equivalent. With an additional geometric assumption, our results apply to $Y$-like weak solenoids where $Y$ satisfies these conditions. At the same time, we show that these results cannot be extended to include classes of matchbox manifolds fibering over a closed surface of genus 2 manifold which we call "adic-surfaces". These are $2$--dimensional matchbox manifolds that have structure induced from classical $1$-dimensional Vietoris solenoids. We also formulate conjectures about a generalized form of the Borel Conjecture for minimal matchbox manifolds.
 Mathematics , 2011, Abstract: Matchbox manifolds ${\mathfrak M}$ are a special class of foliated spaces, which includes as special examples exceptional minimal sets of foliations, weak solenoids, suspensions of odometer and Toeplitz actions, and tiling spaces associated to aperiodic tilings with finite local complexity. Some of these classes of examples are endowed with an additional structure, that of a transverse foliation, consisting of a continuous family of Cantor sets transverse to the foliated structure. The purpose of this paper is to show that this transverse structure can be defined on all minimal matchbox manifolds. This follows from the construction of uniform stable Voronoi tessellations on a dense leaf, which is the main goal of this work. From this we define a foliated Delaunay triangulation of ${\mathfrak M}$, adapted to the dynamics of ${\mathcal F}$. The result is highly technical, but underlies the study of the basic topological structure of matchbox manifolds in general. Our methods are unique in that we give the construction of the Voronoi tessellations for a complete Riemannian manifold $L$ of arbitrary dimension, with stability estimates.
 Xiaochuan Yang Mathematics , 2015, Abstract: We determine the Hausdorff dimension of the range of a class of Markov processes taking value in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This dimension turns out to be random and depends on the time interval where we observe the range. The techniques developed here also allow to derive dimension formula for the graph of these processes.
 Lina Wedrich Mathematics , 2015, Abstract: Let $X=\{X(t):t\geq0\}$ be an operator semistable L\'evy process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with exponent $E$, where $E$ is an invertible linear operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$. For an arbitrary Borel set $B\subseteq\mathbb{R}_+$ we interpret the graph $Gr_X(B)=\{(t,X(t)):t\in B\}$ as a semi-selfsimilar process on $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, whose distribution is not full, and calculate the Hausdorff dimension of $Gr_X(B)$ in terms of the real parts of the eigenvalues of the exponent $E$ and the Hausdorff dimension of $B$.
 Ercan S？nmez Mathematics , 2015, Abstract: We consider operator scaling $\alpha$-stable random sheets, which were introduced in [12]. The idea behind such fields is to combine the properties of operator scaling $\alpha$-stable random fields introduced in [6] and fractional Brownian sheets introduced in [14]. Based on the results derived in [12], we determine the box-counting dimension and the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of a trajectory of such fields over a non-degenerate cube $I \subset Rd$.
 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: In this work, we develop shape expansions of minimal matchbox manifolds without holonomy, in terms of branched manifolds formed from their leaves. Our approach is based on the method of coding the holonomy groups for the foliated spaces, to define leafwise regions which are transversely stable and are adapted to the foliation dynamics. Approximations are obtained by collapsing appropriately chosen neighborhoods onto these regions along a "transverse Cantor foliation". The existence of the "transverse Cantor foliation" allows us to generalize standard techniques known for Euclidean and fibered cases to arbitrary matchbox manifolds with Riemannian leaf geometry and without holonomy. The transverse Cantor foliations used here are constructed by purely intrinsic and topological means, as we do not assume that our matchbox manifolds are embedded into a smooth foliated manifold, or a smooth manifold.
 Mathematics , 2010, Abstract: We prove that a homogeneous matchbox manifold of any finite dimension is homeomorphic to a McCord solenoid, thereby proving a strong version of a conjecture of Fokkink and Oversteegen. The proof uses techniques from the theory of foliations that involve making important connections between homogeneity and equicontinuity. The results provide a framework for the study of equicontinuous minimal sets of foliations that have the structure of a matchbox manifold.
 Steven Hurder Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: A matchbox manifold is a connected, compact foliated space with totally disconnected transversals; or in other notation, a generalized lamination. It is said to be Lipschitz if there exists a metric on its transversals for which the holonomy maps are Lipschitz. Examples of Lipschitz matchbox manifolds include the exceptional minimal sets for $C^1$-foliations of compact manifolds, tiling spaces, the classical solenoids, and the weak solenoids of McCord and Schori, among others. We address the question: When does a Lipschitz matchbox manifold admit an embedding as a minimal set for a smooth dynamical system, or more generally for as an exceptional minimal set for a $C^1$-foliation of a smooth manifold? We gives examples which do embed, and develop criteria for showing when they do not embed, and give examples. We also discuss the classification theory for Lipschitz weak solenoids.
 Mathematics , 1998, Abstract: Let M be a compact 3-manifold whose interior admits a complete hyperbolic structure. We let Lambda(M) be the supremum of the bottom eigenvalue of the Laplacian of N, where N varies over all hyperbolic 3-manifolds homeomorphic to the interior of M. Similarly, we let D(M) be the infimum of the Hausdorff dimensions of limit sets of Kleinian groups whose quotients are homeomorphic to the interior of M. We observe that Lambda(M)=D(M)(2-D(M)) if M is not handlebody or a thickened torus. We characterize exactly when Lambda(M)=1 and D(M)=1 in terms of the characteristic submanifold of the incompressible core of M.
