Abstract: In this paper, we prove that given two C1 foliations mathcalF and mathcalG on mathbbT2 which are transverse, there exists a non-null homotopic loop Phittin[0,1] in diff1(T2) such that Phit(calF)pitchforkcalG for every tin[0,1], and Phi0=Phi1=Id. As a direct consequence, we get a general process for building new partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on closed 3-manifolds. cite{BPP} built a new example of dynamically coherent non-transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on a closed 3-manifold, the example in cite{BPP} is obtained by composing the time t map, t>0 large enough, of a very specific non-transitive Anosov flow by a Dehn twist along a transverse torus. Our result shows that the same construction holds starting with any non-transitive Anosov flow on an oriented 3-manifold. Moreover, for a given transverse torus, our result explains which type of Dehn twists lead to partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.


The authors show that given two transverse \(C^1\)-foliations \(\mathcal F\) and \(\mathcal G\) on \(\mathbb{T}^2\), there exists a non-null homotopic loop \(\{\Phi_t\}_{t\in [0,1]}\) in \(\text{Diff}^1(\mathbb{T}^2)\) such that \(\Phi_t(\mathcal F) \pitchfork \mathcal G\) for every \(t\in [0, 1] \) and \(\Phi_0=\Phi_1={\mathrm{id}}\). This topological result is applied to get a general process for building new partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on closed 3-manifolds, extending the approach of \textit{C. Bonatti} et al. [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 49, No. 6, 1387--1402 (2016; Zbl 1375.37093)].
