Study infinitesimal characters on semi-groups to prove interior properties and apply to Teichmüller spaces.

Minimal hitting time on origami equals diophantine type for certain slopes.

For a principal $\rmSU(n)$-bundle over a compact manifold of dimension $2,3,4$, we determine the orbit types of the action of the gauge group on the space of connections modulo pointed local gauge transformations. We find that they are given by Howe subgroups of $\rmSU(n)$ for which a certain characteristic equation is…

Constructs stable Hilbert bundles on curves using Diophantine approximation.

In this paper, we study the existence of high-dimensional, closed, smooth manifolds whose rational homotopy type resembles that of a projective plane. Applying rational surgery, the problem can be reduced to finding possible Pontryagin numbers satisfying the Hirzebruch signature formula and a set of congruence relation…

New $\hat{Z}$ invariant for plumbed 3-manifolds with detailed computations and conjectures.

The paper connects Diophantine approximation to black hole behavior, proving blow-up conditions.

We prove that the signature of an even, symmetric form on a finite rank integral lattice, has signature divisible by 8, provided its associated linking form vanishes in the Witt group of linking forms. Our result generalizes the well know fact that an even, unimodular form has signature divisible by 8. We give applicat…

We derive several results that describe the rate at which a generic geodesic makes excursions into and out of a cusp on a finite area hyperbolic surface and relate them to approximation with respect to the orbit of infinity for an associated Fuchsian group. This provides proofs of some well known theorems from metric d…

The paper explores the geometry of algebraic numbers and their roots.

Study mapping class group action on character varieties, proving Kronecker's Theorem.

Given for instance a finite volume negatively curved Riemannian manifold $M$, we give a precise relation between the logarithmic growth rates of the excursions into cusps neighborhoods of the strong unstable leaves of negatively recurrent unit vectors of $M$ and their linear divergence rates under the geodesic flow. As…

We derive results on the distribution of directions of saddle connections on translation surfaces using only the Birkhoff ergodic theorem applied to the geodesic flow on the moduli space of translation surfaces. Our techniques, together with an approximation argument, also give an alternative proof of a weak version of…

Algorithm finds minimal volume hyperbolic links in 3-manifolds.

Smooth parametrization consists in a subdivision of the mathematical objects under consideration into simple pieces, and then parametric representation of each piece, while keeping control of high order derivatives. The main goal of the present paper is to provide a short overview of some results and open problems on s…

We announce ultrametric analogues of the results of Kleinbock-Margulis for shrinking target properties of semisimple group actions on symmetric spaces. The main applications are S-arithmetic Diophantine approximation results and logarithm laws for buildings, generalizing the work of Hersonsky-Paulin on trees.

The paper connects Apollonian packings to knot theory and improves link representations.

In 1984, Anatole Katok conjectured that the only closed orientable manifolds that support cohomology-free vector fields are tori and these vector fields are smoothly conjugated to Diophantine (constant) ones. In this work we present a proof of Katok conjecture for 3-manifolds.

Let M be a geometrically finite pinched negatively curved Riemannian manifold with at least one cusp. Inspired by the theory of diophantine approximation of a real (or complex) number by rational ones, we develop a theory of approximation of geodesic lines starting from a given cusp by ones returning to it. We define a…

Hasse principle applied to area-minimizing submanifolds across different homology types.

The paper explores orthogeodesics on hyperbolic surfaces and their integer traces.

We give upper and lower bounds on the volume of a tubular neighborhood of the nodal set of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a real analytic closed Riemannian manifold M. As an application we consider the question of approximating points on M by nodal sets, and explore analogy with approximation by rational numbers.

The work of Oh and Park ([OP]) on the deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds opened the possibility of studying a large and interesting class of foliations with some explicit geometric tools. These tools assemble into the structure of an L-infinity algebra on the shifted foliation complex (Ω^*[1](\fol), d_\fol…

On geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds $Γ\backslash H^{d}$, including those with non-maximal rank cusps, we give upper bounds on the number $N(R)$ of resonances of the Laplacian in disks of size $R$ as $R\to \infty$. In particular, if the parabolic subgroups of $Γ$ satisfy a certain Diophantine condition, the bou…

The paper solves the dHYM equation on rational homogeneous varieties using Lie theory.

Consider a parallel plane foliation on real finite-dimensional linear vector space. It induces a foliation on the torus obtained by factorization of the space by the integer lattice (let us denote the latter foliation by F). Let g be arbitrary metric on the torus. It induces a complex structure on each leaf of F such t…

Given a negatively curved geodesic metric space $M$, we study the statistical asymptotic penetration behavior of (locally) geodesic lines of $M$ in small neighborhoods of points, of closed geodesics, and of other compact (locally) convex subsets of $M$. We prove Khintchine-type and logarithme law-type results for the s…

Given a negatively curved geodesic metric space M, we study the asymptotic penetration behaviour of geodesic lines of M in small neighbourhoods of closed geodesics and of other compact convex subsets of M. We define a spiraling spectrum which gives precise information on the asymptotic spiraling lengths of geodesic lin…

Study of machine learning in quiver gauge theories and Seiberg duality.

Let F be a riemannian flow on a closed manifold M. We study the behavior of the first eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms under adiabatic collapsing of the flow. We show that the number of small eigenvalues is related to the basic cohomology of F, and give spectral criteria for the vanishing…

Conditions found for linearizing divergence-free fields on invariant tori.

Nondegeneracy conditions need to be imposed in K.A.M. theorems to insure that the set of diophantine tori has a large measure. Although they are usually expressed in action coordinates, it is possible to give a geometrical formulation using the notion of regular completely integrable systems defined by a fibration of a…

We study the Hochschild homology groups of the algebra of complete symbols on a foliated manifold $(M,F)$. The first step is to relate these groups to the Poisson homology of $(M,F)$ and of other related foliated manifolds. We then establish several general properties of the Poisson homology groups of foliated manifold…

Develops Weil bundles over \( p \)-adic manifolds for arithmetic geometry.

Let $M$ be a pinched negatively curved Riemannian manifold, whose unit tangent bundle is endowed with a Gibbs measure $m_F$ associated to a potential $F$. We compute the Hausdorff dimension of the conditional measures of $m_F$. We study the $m_F$-almost sure asymptotic penetration behaviour of locally geodesic lines of…

We obtain sharp upper and lower bounds on a certain four-dimensional Frobenius number determined by a prime pair $(p,q)$, $2<p<q$, including exact formulae for two infinite subclasses of such pairs. Our work is motivated by the study of compact Riemann surfaces which can be realized as a semi-regular $pq$-fold covering…

Our goal is to convince the readers that the theory of complex normal surface singularities can be a powerful tool in the study of numerical semigroups, and, in the same time, a very rich source of interesting affine and numerical semigroups. More precisely, we prove that the strongly flat semigroups, which satisfy the…

Markov's theorem classifies the worst irrational numbers with respect to rational approximation and the indefinite binary quadratic forms whose values for integer arguments stay farthest away from zero. The main purpose of this paper is to present a new proof of Markov's theorem using hyperbolic geometry. The main ingr…

We improve the bound on Kühnel's problem to determine the smallest $n$ such that the $k$-skeleton of an $n$-simplex $Δ_n^{(k)}$ does not embed into a compact PL $2k$-manifold $M$ by showing that if $Δ_n^{(k)}$ embeds into $M$, then $n\leq (2k+1)+(k+1)β_k(M;\mathbb Z_2)$. As a consequence we obtain improved Radon and He…

We prove that almost all geodesics on a noncompact locally symmetric space of finite volume grow with a logarithmic speed -- the higher rank generalization of a theorem of D. Sullivan (1982). More generally, under certain conditions on a sequence of subsets $A_n$ of a homogeneous space $G/Γ$ ($G$ a semisimple Lie group…

Irreducible groups cannot be free if they ergodically act on a boundary.

We study the problem of recovering a function on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold from its integrals over all null geodesics in three geometries: pseudo-Riemannian products of Riemannian manifolds, Minkowski spaces and tori. We give proofs of uniqueness anc characterize non-uniqueness in different settings. Reconstruction …

We prove a global local rigidity result for character varieties of 3-manifolds into $\rm{SL}_2$. Given a 3-manifold with toric boundary $M$ satisfying some technical hypotheses, we prove that all but a finite number of its Dehn fillings $M_{p/q}$ are globally locally rigid in the following sense: every irreducible repr…

Project infinite time series graphs to finite marginal models using number theory.

We explain how the Transference Principles from Diophantine approximation can be interpreted in terms of geometry of the locally symmetric spaces $T_n=SO(n) \backslash SL(n,R) /SL(n,Z)$ with $n>1$, and how, via this dictionary, they become transparent geometric remarks and can be easily proved. Indeed, a finite family …

We prove that the moduli space of compact genus three Riemann surfaces contains only finitely many algebraically primitive Teichmueller curves. For the stratum consisting of holomorphic one-forms in genus three with a single zero, our approach to finiteness uses the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the Hodge bundle over…

Our monograph presents the foundations of the theory of groups and semigroups acting isometrically on Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces. Our work unifies and extends a long list of results by many authors. We make it a point to avoid any assumption of properness/compactness, keeping in mind the motivating example of $\ma…
