. In every Engel manifold we construct an infinite family of pairwise non-isotopic transverse tori that are all smoothly isotopic. To distinguish the transverse tori in the family we introduce a homological invariant of transverse tori that is similar to the self-linking number for transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds. Analogous results are presented for Legendrian tori in even contact 4-manifolds.

Let $v$ be a unit vector field on a complete, umbilic (but not totally geodesic) hypersurface $N$ in a space form; for example on the unit sphere $S^{2k-1} subset mathbb{R}^{2k}$, or on a horosphere in hyperbolic space. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $v$ for the rays with initial velocities $v$ (and $-v$) to foliate the exterior $U$ of $N$. We find and explore relationships among these vector fields, geodesic vector fields, and contact structures on $N$. When the rays corresponding to each of $pm v$ foliate $U$, $v$ induces an outer billiard map whose billiard table is $U$. We describe the unit vector fields on $N$ whose associated outer billiard map is volume preserving. Also we study a particular example in detail, namely, when $N simeq mathbb{R}^3$ is a horosphere of the four-dimensional hyperbolic space and $v$ is the unit vector field on $N$ obtained by normalizing the stereographic projection of a Hopf vector field on $S^{3}$. In the corresponding outer billiard map we find explicit periodic orbits, unbounded orbits, and bounded nonperiodic orbits. We conclude with several questions regarding the topology and geometry of bifoliating vector fields and the dynamics of their associated outer billiards.

This paper is concerned with a PDE-based approach to the horizontally quasiconvex (h-quasiconvex for short) envelope of a given continuous function in the Heisenberg group. We provide a characterization for upper semicontinuous, h-quasiconvex functions in terms of the viscosity subsolution to a first-order nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equation. We also construct the corresponding envelope of a continuous function by iterating the nonlocal operator. One important step in our arguments is to prove the uniqueness and existence of viscosity solutions to the Dirichlet boundary problems for the nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Applications of our approach to the h-convex hull of a given set in the Heisenberg group are discussed as well.

Let $fcolon M^{2n}tomathbb{R}^{2n+4}$ be an isometric immersion of a Kaehler manifold of complex dimension $ngeq 5$ into Euclidean space with complex rank at least $5$ everywhere. Our main result is that, along each connected component of an open dense subset of $M^{2n}$, either $f$ is holomorphic in $mathbb{R}^{2n+4}congmathbb{C}^{n+2}$ or it is in a unique way a composition $f=Fcirc h$ of isometric immersions. In the latter case, we have that $hcolon M^{2n}to N^{2n+2}$ is holomorphic and $Fcolon N^{2n+2}tomathbb{R}^{2n+4}$ belongs to the class, by now quite well understood, of non-holomorphic Kaehler submanifold in codimension two. Moreover, the submanifold $F$ is minimal if and only if $f$ is minimal.

We prove, that the sequence $1!, 2!, 3!, dots$ produces at least $(sqrt{2} + o(1))sqrt{p}$ distinct residues modulo prime $p$. Moreover, factorials on an interval $mathcal{I} subseteq {0, 1, dots, p - 1}$ of length $N>p^{7/8 + varepsilon}$ produce at least $(1 + o(1))sqrt{p}$ distinct residues modulo $p$. As a corollary, we prove that every non-zero residue class can be expressed as a product of seven factorials $n_1! dots n_7!$ modulo $p$, where $n_i = O(p^{6/7+varepsilon})$ for all $i=1,dots,7$, which provides a polynomial improvement upon the preceding results.

If $M$ is simply connected, we prove that the leaves are finitely covered by nilpotent spaces, and characterize the fundamental group of the generic leaves. If $M$ has virtually nilpotent fundamental group, we prove that the leaves have virtually nilpotent fundamental group as well.

If the perturbation is small, then the solvability is preserved in the same L q , and if the perturbation is large, the regularity problem is solvable in L r for some other r ∈ (1 , ∞ ). We extend an earlier result from Kenig and Pipher to very general unbounded domains, possibly with lower dimensional boundaries as in the theory developed by Guy David and the last two authors. To be precise, we only need the domain to have non-tangential access to its Ahlfors regular boundary, together with a notion of gradient on the boundary.
