Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and let $F$ be a codimension one, $C^infty$ foliation on $M$, with isolated singularities of Morse type. The study and classification of pairs $(M,F)$ is a challenging (and difficult) problem. In this setting, a classical result due to Reeb cite{Reeb} states that a manifold admitting a foliation with exactly two center-type singularities is a sphere. In particular this is true if the foliation is given by a function. Along these lines a result due to Eells and Kuiper cite{Ku-Ee} classify manifolds having a real-valued function admitting exactly three non-degenerate singular points. In the present paper, we prove a generalization of the above mentioned results. To do this, we first describe the possible arrangements of pairs of singularities and the corresponding codimension one invariant sets, and then we give an elimination procedure for suitable center-saddle and some saddle-saddle configurations (of consecutive indices). In the second part, we investigate if other classical results, such as Haefliger and Novikov (Compact Leaf) theorems, proved for regular foliations, still hold true in presence of singularities. At this purpose, in the singular set, $Sing(F)$ of the foliation $F$, we consider {em{weakly stable}} components, that we define as those components admitting a neighborhood where all leaves are compact. If $Sing(F)$ admits only weakly stable components, given by smoothly embedded curves diffeomorphic to $S^1$, we are able to extend Haefligers theorem. Finally, the existence of a closed curve, transverse to the foliation, leads us to state a Novikov-type result.

We will prove the relative homotopy principle for smooth maps with singularities of a given {cal K}-invariant class with a mild condition. We next study a filtration of the group of homotopy self-equivalences of a given manifold P by considering singularities of non-negative {cal K}-codimensions.
We study foliations $mathcal{F}$ on Hirzebruch surfaces $S_delta$ and prove that, similarly to those on the projective plane, any $mathcal{F}$ can be represented by a bi-homogeneous polynomial affine $1$-form. In case $mathcal{F}$ has isolated singularities, we show that, for $ delta=1 $, the singular scheme of $mathcal{F}$ does determine the foliation, with some exceptions that we describe, as is the case of foliations in the projective plane. For $delta eq 1$, we prove that the singular scheme of $mathcal{F}$ does not determine the foliation. However we prove that, in most cases, two foliations $mathcal{F}$ and $mathcal{F}$ given by sections $s$ and $s$ have the same singular scheme if and only if $s=Phi(s)$, for some global endomorphism $Phi $ of the tangent bundle of $S_delta$.
Given a compact smooth manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary and a Morse function, a pseudo-gradient Morse-Smale vector field adapted to the boundary allows one to build a Morse complex whose homology is isomorphic to the (absolute or relative to the boundary) homology of $M$ with integer coefficients. Our approach simplifies other methods which have been discussed in more specific geometric settings.
In case of the heat flow on the free loop space of a closed Riemannian manifold non-triviality of Morse homology for semi-flows is established by constructing a natural isomorphism to singular homology of the loop space. The construction is also new in finite dimensions. The main idea is to build a Morse filtration using Conley pairs and their pre-images under the time-$T$-map of the heat flow. A crucial step is to contract each Conley pair onto its part in the unstable manifold. To achieve this we construct stable foliations for Conley pairs using the recently found backward $lambda$-Lemma [31]. These foliations are of independent interest [23].
The local invariants of a meromorphic Abelian differential on a Riemann surface of genus $g$ are the orders of zeros and poles, and the residues at the poles. The main result of this paper is that with few exceptions, every pattern of orders and residues can be obtain by an Abelian differential. These exceptions are two families in genus zero when the orders of the poles are either all simple or all nonsimple. Moreover, we even show that the pattern can be realized in each connected component of strata. Finally we give consequences of these results in algebraic and flat geometry. The main ingredient of the proof is the flat representation of the Abelian differentials.
