Geodesic patterns, shears, and Anosov representations of the modular group.

Geodesic orbit metrics on real flag manifolds identified.

In this paper, we study the problem of finding a hypersurface family from a given spatial geodesic curve in R4. We obtain the parametric representation for a hypersurface family whose members have the same curve as a given geodesic curve. Using the Frenet frame of the given geodesic curve, we present the hypersurface a…

New metric on geodesic currents connects different surface genera.

We prove a Milnor-Wood inequality for representations of the fundamental group of a compact complex hyperbolic manifold in the group of isometries of quaternionic hyperbolic space. Of special interest is the case of equality, and its application to rigidity. We show that equality can only be achieved for totally geodes…

Maximal representations are studied using tree embeddings and geodesic currents.

We use the Cartan representations of $SO(3)$ and $SU(3)$, and an irreducible 14-dimensional representation of $Sp(3)$ to construct certain totally geodesic submanifolds in "skew" position in the complex quadrics, the complex 2-Grassmannians and the quaternionic 2-Grassmannians.

On the ground of origins of the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, their (co)adjoint representations, and the Pontryagin maximum principle for the time-optimal problem are given an independent foundation for methods of geodesic vector field to search for normal geodesics of left-invariant (sub-)Finsler metrics on L…

The paper is devoted to the study of geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces that could be characterize by the property that any geodesic is an orbit of a 1-parameter group of isometries. The main result is the classification of compact simply connected geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces $G/H$ with two irreducible submodules in…

Revisits Isomap, showing it constructs Euclidean representations of geodesic structure.

Deep generative models are tremendously successful in learning low-dimensional latent representations that well-describe the data. These representations, however, tend to much distort relationships between points, i.e. pairwise distances tend to not reflect semantic similarities well. This renders unsupervised tasks, s…

Anosov representations are linked to specific spacetimes.

New quasi-geodesics for Stiefel manifold simplify complex computations.

Let W be a compact hyperbolic n-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. We prove that if n>3 then the holonomy representation of pi_1 (W) into the isometry group of hyperbolic n-space is infinitesimally rigid.

The paper introduces a new geometric representation for data.

The topology of $SU(3)$-representation varieties of the fundamental groups of planar webs so that the meridians are sent to matrices with trace equal to $-1$ are explored, and compared to data coming from spider evaluation of the webs. Corresponding to an evaluation of a web as a spider is a rooted tree. We associate t…

Given an Anosov representation $ρ\colon π_1(S) \to \PSL_{n}(\mathbb{R})$ and a maximal geodesic lamination $λ$ in a surface $S$, we construct shear deformations along the leaves of the geodesic lamination $λ$ endowed with a certain flag decoration, that is provided by the associated flag curve $\mathcal{F}_ρ\colon \Sin…

Using the Selberg trace formula, we show that for a hyperbolic 2-orbifold, the spectrum of the Laplacian acting on functions determines, and is determined by, the following data: the volume; the total length of the mirror boundary; the number of conepoints of each order, counting a mirror corner as half a conepoint; an…

The paper is devoted to the study of geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces that could be characterize by the property that any geodesic is an orbit of a 1-parameter group of isometries. In particular, we discuss some important totally geodesic submanifolds that inherit the property to be geodesic orbit. For a given geodesic…

A totally geodesic map $f:\mathcal X_1\to\mathcal X_2$ between Hermitian symmetric spaces is tight if its image contains geodesic triangles of maximal area. Tight maps were first introduced in [BIW09], and were classified in [Ham13, Ham14, HO14] in the case of irreducible domain. We complete the classification by analy…

Wolpert's cosine formula on Teichmüller space gives the Weil-Petersson Poisson bracket $\{l_α, l_β\}$ for geodesic length functions $l_α,l_β$ of closed curves $α,β$ as the sum of the cosines of the angle of intersection of the associated geodesics. This was recently generalized to Hitchin representations by Labourie. I…

Study on Blaschke locus with covariance metric properties.

We prove that a sequence of quasi-Fuchsian representations for which the critical exponent converges to the topological dimension of the boundary of the group (larger than 2), converges up to subsequence and conjugacy to a totally geodesic representation.

In this paper we describe the stable and unstable leaves for the geodesic flow on the space of non-wandering spacelike geodesics of a Margulis Space Time and prove contraction properties of the leaves under the flow. We also show that monodromy of Margulis Space Times are "Anosov representations in non semi-simple Lie …

The action of the mapping class group of the thrice-punctured projective plane on its $\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ character variety produces an algorithm for generating the simple length spectra of quasi-Fuchsian thrice-punctured projective planes. We apply this algorithm to quasi-Fuchsian representations of the corres…

We investigate the rudiments of Riemannian geometry on orbit spaces $M/G$ for isometric proper actions of Lie groups on Riemannian manifolds. Minimal geodesic arcs are length minimising curves in the metric space $M/G$ and they can hit strata which are more singular only at the end points. This is phrased as convexity …

Let S be a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2 and let G be a semisimple real algebraic group of non-compact type. We consider a class of representations from the fundamental group of S to G called positively ratioed representations. These are Anosov representations with the additional condition that certain …

We continue the study of the distribution of closed geodesics on nilmanifolds constructed from a simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group with a left invariant metric and a lattice. We consider a Lie group with an associated 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra constructed from an irreducible representation of a compact sem…
