General Pre-‐Departure Information
LIU GLOBAL • CHINA CENTER 4.14.16 GENERAL PRE-DEPARTURE INFORMATION VISA 1. If you have not applied for your Chinese visa, please do so ASAP. 2. Please refer to Important Visa Information document to check the visa application details. BUY AIR TICKETS LIU Global students are encouraged to book air tickets well in advance of their departure. We recommend that students traveling to China for the first time fly directly into Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) on a domestic or international flight, although this may not be the least expensive options. Students with sufficient international travel experience may also fly directly to the Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) or Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) and arrange other transportation to Hangzhou by train or bus. For students arriving in China independently, there are several cities in China that have international connections with the United States and European countries, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) has international connections to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Bangkok and Singapore.

Submanifolds of Euclidean Space with Parallel Second Fundamental Form
PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 32, Number 1, March 1972 SUBMANIFOLDS OF EUCLIDEAN SPACE WITH PARALLEL SECOND FUNDAMENTAL FORM JAAK VILMS1 In this paper necessary conditions are given for a complete Rie- mannian manifold M" to admit an isometric immersion into R*+r with parallel second fundamental form. Namely, it is shown that M" must be affinely equivalent either to a totally geodesic sub- manifold of the Grassmann manifold G(n,p), or to a fibre bundle over such a submanifold, with Euclidean space as fibre and the structure being close to a product. (An affine equivalence is a dif- feomorphism that preserves Riemannian connections.) The proof depends on the auxiliary result that the second fundamental form is parallel iff the Gauss map is a totally geodesic map. 1. The main result. Let i :Mn-+Rn+p be an immersion of a manifold Mn into Euclidean space, and endow M with the induced Riemannian metric. The second fundamental form ¡x of the immersion ; is a symmetric section of the bundle of bilinear maps L2(TM, TM; A/M), where TM and NM denote the tangent and normal bundles of M, respectively [4]. We iden- tify this bundle of maps with the isomorphic bundle L(TM, L(TM, NM)), and <xwith the corresponding section. At each point of M, the kernel of x (in the second interpretation) is called the relative nullity space, and its dimension k, the relative nullity index [2]. We say the second fundamental form a is parallel if 7>oc=0 (D always denotes the appropriate covariant derivative). -

The Handbook aims to provide guidance that will help develop a positive learning environment, ensure academic integrity, promote students’ well-being and comply with university policies. As part of Long Island University, our students and staff must respect the LIU Brooklyn Code of Conduct and the policies outlined in the Undergraduate Bulletin, including the LIU Sexual Violence and Harassment Policy. This Handbook complements the information and policies in the aforementioned documents. Please note: Policies are subject to change. Policy changes will be communicated to the LIU Global community and will be incorporated in the annual revision of this Handbook. 3 The History and Context of LIU Global Quaker Roots LIU Global (formerly Friends World), was founded in 1965 by a group of committed Quakers and was established to provide a genuinely alternative educational path that would lead students to consider the world’s pressing issues as a focus of their curriculum. -
Compact Foliations with Finite Transverse Ls Category 11
COMPACT FOLIATIONS WITH FINITE TRANSVERSE LS CATEGORY STEVEN HURDER AND PAWELG. WALCZAK Abstract. We prove that if F is a foliation of a compact manifold M with all leaves compact submanifolds, and the transverse saturated category of F is finite, then the leaf space M=F is compact Hausdorff. The proof is surprisingly delicate, and is based on some new observations about the geometry of compact foliations. The transverse saturated category of a compact Hausdorff foliation is always finite, so we obtain a new characterization of the compact Hausdorff foliations among the compact foliations as those with finite transverse saturated category. 1. Introduction A compact foliation is a foliation of a manifold M with all leaves compact submanifolds. For codimension one or two, a compact foliation F of a compact manifold M defines a fibration of M over its leaf space M=F which is a Hausdorff space, and has the structure of an orbifold [27, 11, 12, 33, 10]. A compact foliation F with Hausdorff leaf space is said to be compact Hausdorff. Millett [22] and Epstein [12] showed that for a compact Hausdorff foliation F of a manifold M, the holonomy group of each leaf is finite, a property which characterizes them among the compact foliations. If every leaf has trivial holonomy group, then a compact Hausdorff foliation is a fibration. Otherwise, a compact Hausdorff foliation is a \generalized Seifert fibration", where the leaf space M=F is a \V-manifold" [29, 17, 22]. In addition, M admits a Riemannian metric so that the foliation is Riemannian. For codimension three and above, the leaf space M=F of a compact foliation of a compact manifold need not be a Hausdorff space. -
Descending Maps Between Slashed Tangent Bundles
DESCENDING MAPS BETWEEN SLASHED TANGENT BUNDLES IOAN BUCATARU AND MATIAS F. DAHL f ABSTRACT. Suppose T M \ {0} and T M \ {0} are slashed tangent bundles of two smooth manifolds M and Mf, respectively. In this paper we characterize f those diffeomorphisms F : T M \ {0}→ T M \ {0} that can be written as F = f (Dφ)|TM\{0} for a diffeomorphism φ: M → M. When F = (Dφ)|TM\{0} one say that F descends. If M is equipped with two sprays, we use the charac- terization to derive sufficient conditions that imply that F descends to a totally geodesic map. Specializing to Riemann geometry we also obtain sufficient con- ditions for F to descent to an isometry. 1. INTRODUCTION In this paper we study the following differential-topological problem: ( ) Suppose M and M are smooth manifolds, and suppose that F is a diffeo- ∗ morphism betweenf slashed tangent bundles (1) F : T M 0 T M 0 . \ { } → f \ { } Characterize those maps F that can be written as F = (Dφ) for a |TM\{0} diffeomorphism φ: M M, where Dφ is the tangent map of φ. → f Problem ( ) is related to anisotropic boundary rigidity problems on Riemannian manifolds∗ [Cro04, Uhl01, PU05]. It is also the setting for studying conjugate geo- desic flows. For an overview of this topic for Riemann metrics, see [Ber07, p. 495]. When F = (Dφ) TM\{0} one say that map F descends to a map φ: M M [Cro04]. | → f Let us first note that if f is a diffeomorphism between (unslashed) cotangent bun- dles ∗ ∗ arXiv:0903.5133v3 [math.DG] 10 Jun 2009 f : T M T M, → f the analogous problem is well understood. -

Relations in Bounded Cohomology
RELATIONS IN BOUNDED COHOMOLOGY JAMES FARRE Abstract. We explain some interesting relations in the degree three bounded coho- mology of surface groups. Specifically, we show that if two faithful Kleinian surface group representations are quasi-isometric, then their bounded fundamental classes are the same in bounded cohomology. This is novel in the setting that one end is degener- ate, while the other end is geometrically finite. We also show that a difference of two singly degenerate classes with bounded geometry is boundedly cohomologous to a dou- bly degenerate class, which has a nice geometric interpretation. Finally, we explain that the above relations completely describe the linear dependences between the `geometric' bounded classes defined by the volume cocycle with bounded geometry. We obtain a mapping class group invariant Banach sub-space of the reduced degree three bounded cohomology with explicit topological generating set and describe all linear relations. 1. Introduction The cohomology of a surface group with negative Euler characterisic is well understood. In contrast, the bounded cohomology in degree 1 vanishes, in degree 2, it is an infinite dimensional Banach space with the k · k1 norm [MM85, Iva88], and in degree 3 it is infinite dimensional but not even a Banach space [Som98]. In degree 4 and higher, almost nothing is known (see Remark 1.10). In this paper, we study a subspace in degree 3 generated by bounded fundamental classes of infinite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to a closed oriented surface S with negative Euler characteristic. These manifolds correspond to PSL2 C conjugacy classes of discrete and faithful representations ρ : π1(S) −! PSL2 C, but we restrict ourselves to the representations that do not contain parabolic elements to avoid technical headaches. -
