Title: Foliations on manifolds and symmetry

Abstract:
The theory of  foliations is a wide field of research having both 
quantitative and qualitative aspects. Intuitively, a foliation on a 
manifold corresponds to a partition of the manifold into connected, 
immersed submanifolds of the same dimension, called leaves which  form 
locally layers of a Euclidean space. Existence problem of foliations on 
closed manifolds is  solved in  1970’s by W. Thurston as the culmination 
of efforts of several mathematicians. However, not much is known about 
the existence problem of equivariant foliations (i.e. the foliations 
whose leaves are invariant under a  group action on  the manifold). In 
this talk for a general audience, we will first review some basic 
notions about the foliations, and then will present some results about 
the existence of equivariant foliations on spheres.
