An almost-Fuchsian group is a quasi-Fuchsian group such that the quotient hyperbolic manifold contains a closed incompressible minimal surface with principal curvatures contained in (-1,1). We show that the domain of discontinuity of an almost-Fuchsian group contains many balls of a fixed spherical radius in the visual…

Surveying Hitchin representations of Fuchsian groups.

Limit sets of $\mathrm{AdS}$-quasi-Fuchsian groups of $\mathrm{PO}(n,2)$ are always Lipschitz submanifolds. The aim of this article is to show that they are never $\mathcal{C}^1$, except for the case of Fuchsian groups. As a byproduct we show that $\mathrm{AdS}$-quasi-Fuchsian groups that are not Fuchsian are Zariski d…

The trace set of a Fuchsian group $Γ$ ist the set of length of closed geodesics in the surface $Γ\backslash \mathbb{H}$. Luo and Sarnak showed that the trace set of a cofinite arithmetic Fuchsian group satisfies the bounded clustering property. Sarnak then conjectured that the B-C property actually characterizes arithm…

Random walks on Fuchsian Schottky groups have harmonic measures with lower dimension.

We use Series' Markovian coding for words in Fuchsian groups and the Bowen-Series coding of limit sets to prove an ergodic theorem for Cesaro averages of spherical averages in a Fuchsian group.

The hitting measure is singular and has dimension less than 1 for cocompact Fuchsian groups.

We rigorously define the Liouville action functional for finitely generated, purely loxodromic quasi-Fuchsian group using homology and cohomology double complexes naturally associated with the group action. We prove that the classical action - the critical point of the Liouville action functional, considered as a funct…

We study the Liouville action for quasi-Fuchsian groups with parabolic and elliptic elements. In particular, when the group is Fuchsian, the contribution of elliptic elements to the classical Liouville action is derived in terms of the Bloch-Wigner functions. We prove the first and second variation formulas for the cla…

We define a fuchsian affine action of a surface group to be such that the linear part factors through a representation of $SL(2,{\mathbb R})$. We prove a fuchsian affine action of a surface group is never proper.

We prove the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for cocompact Fuchsian groups, thereby giving necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed spin manifold of dimension greater than four with fundamental group cocompact Fuchsian to admit a metric of positive scalar curvature.

New proof shows Fuchsian groups have irrational length spectra.

In the study of Fuchsian groups, it is a nontrivial problem to determine a set of generators. Using a dynamical approach we construct for any cocompact arithmetic Fuchsian group a fundamental region in $\mathbf{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ from which we determine a set of small generators.

The paper characterizes geometrically finite surfaces via geodesic covers.

New insights into surface group actions and entropy.

The set of axes of hyperbolic elements in a Fuchsian group depends on the commensurability class of the group. In fact, it has been conjectured that it determines the commensurability class and this has been verified in for groups of the second kind by G. Mess and for arithemetic groups by by D. Long and A. Reid. Here …

In this paper, we study the topology of the boundaries of quasi-Fuchsian spaces. We first show for a given convergent sequence of quasi-Fuchsian groups, how we can know the end invariant of the limit group from the information on the behaviour of conformal structures at infinity of the groups. This result gives rise to…

Not all Schottky groups of Moebius transformations are classical Schottky groups. In this paper we show that all Fuchsian Schottky groups are classical Schottky groups, but not necessarily on the same set of generators.

Formula derived for FUP exponent in quasi-Fuchsian groups.

For each geometrically finite 2-dimensional non-Euclidean crystallographic group (NEC group), we compute the cohomology groups. In the case where the group is a Fuchsian group, we also determine the ring structure of the cohomology.

New geometric invariant limits the number of semi-arithmetic groups.

The paper controls the geometry of surface subgroups in specific Kleinian groups.

The aim of this paper is to relate Thurston's metric on Teichmüller space to several ideas initiated by T. Sorvali on isomorphisms between Fuchsian groups. In particular, this will give a new formula for Thurston's asymmetric metric for surfaces with punctures. We also update some results of Sorvali on boundary isomorp…

We show that if a homeomorphism between the ideal boundaries of two Fuchsian buildings preserves the combinatorial cross ratio almost everywhere, then it extends to an isomorphism between the Fuchsian buildings. It follows that Mostow rigidity holds for Fuchsian buildings: if a group acts properly and cocompactly on tw…

New Fuchsian groups found with special embedding properties.

Study stabilizers of complex hyperbolic triangle groups, finding generators and signatures.

In his 1990 doctoral thesis, Todd Drumm showed that proper affine deformations of free Fuchsian groups could be constructed as Schottky groups using a new family of hypersurfaces called "crooked planes." The existence of proper affine deformations of Fuchsian Schottky groups was demonstrated by Margulis in the early 19…

Researchers prove hitting measure singularity for most Fuchsian and Kleinian groups.

Study of holomorphic correspondences combining entire maps and Fuchsian groups.

The hyperbolic space $ \H^d$ can be defined as a pseudo-sphere in the $(d+1)$ Minkowski space-time. In this paper, a Fuchsian group $Γ$ is a group of linear isometries of the Minkowski space such that $\H^d/Γ$ is a compact manifold. We introduce Fuchsian convex bodies, which are closed convex sets in Minkowski space, g…

The paper studies surface quotients of Fuchsian buildings.

We prove that any nonabelian, non-Fuchsian representation of a surface group into PSL(2,R) is the holonomy of a folded hyperbolic structure on the surface. Using similar ideas, we establish that any non-Fuchsian representation rho of a surface group into PSL(2,R) is strictly dominated by some Fuchsian representation j,…

New framework mated Kleinian groups with complex polynomials, revealing unique group properties.

We characterize the semi-conjugacy class of a Fuchsian action of the modular group on the circle in terms of rotation numbers of two standard generators and that of their product. We also show that among lifts of a Fuchsian action of the modular group, only 5-fold lift admits a similar characterization. These results i…

We compare critical exponent for quasi-Fuchsian groups acting on the hyperbolic 3-space, $\mathbb{H}^3$, and on invariant disks embedded in $\mathbb{H}^3$. We give a rigidity theorem for all embedded surfaces when the action is Fuchsian and a rigidity theorem for negatively curved surfaces when the action is quasi-Fuch…

The study describes maximal Fuchsian subgroups of a specific Bianchi group and computes their covolumes.

In this paper, we will determine the topological types of hyperbolic 3-anifolds H^3/G such that G is a geometric limit of any algebraically convergent sequence of quasi-Fuchsian groups.

We show a few propositions in favour of relations between the phase space of 3D gravity, moduli of quasi-Fuchsian groups, global solutions of cosh-Gordon equations and minimal surfaces in hyperbolic spaces.
