We apply some of the ideas of the Ph.D. Thesis of G. A. Margulis to Teichmuller space. Let x be a point in Teichmuller space, and let B_R(x) be the ball of radius R centered at x (with distances measured in the Teichmuller metric). We obtain asymptotic formulas as R tends to infinity for the volume of B_R(x), and also …

In this article we study the Heegaard Floer link homology of (n,n)(n, n)-torus links. The Alexander multigradings which support non-trivial homology form a string of n1n-1 unit hypercubes in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, and we compute the ranks and gradings of the homology in nearly all Alexander gradings. We also conjecture a compl…

We explore a model of dark matter called wave dark matter (also known as scalar field dark matter and boson stars) which has recently been motivated by a new geometric perspective by Bray. Wave dark matter describes dark matter as a scalar field which satisfies the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations. These equations rely …

Geometric structures on manifolds became popular when Thurston used them in his work on the geometrization conjecture. They were studied by many people and they play an important role in higher Teichmüller theory. Geometric structures on a manifold are closely related with representations of the fundamental group and w…

In his Ph.D. thesis, Burak Ozbagci described an algorithm computing signatures of Lefschetz fibrations where the input is a factorization of the monodromy into a product of Dehn twists. In this note, we give a reformulation of Ozbagci's algorithm which becomes much easier to implement. Our main tool is Wall's non-addit…

Our aim in this work is to study a system of equations which generalises at the same time the vortex equations of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory and the holomorphicity equation in Gromov theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. We extend some results and definitions from both theories to a common setting. We introduce a functional…

The aim of this paper is to classify Ricci soliton metrics on 77-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups. It can be considered as a continuation of our paper in [Transformation Groups, Volume 17, Number 3 (2012), 639--656]. To this end, we use the classification of 77-dimensional real nilpotent Lie algebras given by Ming-Pe…
