We define the Simons-Sullivan differential analytic index by translating the Freed-Lott differential analytic index via explicit ring isomorphisms between Freed-Lott differential K-theory and Simons-Sullivan differential K-theory. We prove the differential Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem in Simons-Sullivan differenti…

The paper introduces Patterson-Sullivan systems and proves their rigidity, with applications to random walks and entropy rigidity.

Study vanishing theorems for CR manifolds using contact forms and Laplacian formulas.

New example solves topological dynamics problem.

We define generalized currents associated with immersions of abstract solenoids with a transversal measure. We realize geometrically the full real homology of a compact manifold with these generalized currents, and more precisely with immersions of minimal uniquely ergodic solenoids. This makes precise and geometric De…

For a fixed closed manifold $P$, we construct a cobordism category of embedded manifolds with a single Baas-Sullivan singularity of type $P$. Our main theorem identifies the homotopy type of the classifying space of this cobordism category with that of the infinite loop-space of a certain spectrum related to the spectr…

New examples of embeddings defy Anosov representation limits.

We show that uniform lattices in some semi-simple groups (notably complex ones) admit Anosov surface subgroups. This result has a quantitative version: we introduce a notion, called $K$-Sullivan maps, which generalizes the notion of $K$-quasi-circles in hyperbolic geometry, and show in particular that Sullivan maps are…

We prove that structured vector bundles whose holonomies lie in GL(N,C), SO(N,C), or Sp(2N,C) have structured inverses. This generalizes a theorem of Simons and Sullivan.

The paper proves rigidity and ergodicity of horospherical foliations.

Sullivan showed that there exists $K_0$ such that if $Ω\subset \hat{\mathbb{C}}$ is a simply connected hyperbolic domain, then there exists a conformally natural $K_0$-quasiconformal map from $Ω$ to the boundary ${\rm Dome}(Ω)$ of the convex hull of its complement which extends to the identity on $\partialΩ$. Explicit …

We prove the following theorem for Holomorphic Foliations in compact complex kaehler manifolds: if there is a compact leaf with finite holonomy, then every leaf is compact with finite holonomy. As corollary we reobtain stability theorems for compact foliations in Kaehler manifolds of Edwards-Millett-Sullivan and Hollma…

We extend Schwartzman theory beyond dimension 1 and provide a unified treatment of Ruelle-Sullivan and Schwartzman theories via Birkhoff's ergodic theorem for the class of immersions of solenoids with a trapping region.

Extends Morse-Novikov Homology to include differential graded coefficients and fibration structures.

The paper proves a unique conformal measure for Anosov groups and shows local mixing.

The paper proves convergence of discrete maps to Riemann mappings for polyhedral surfaces.

In his 1985 paper Sullivan sketched a proof of his structural stability theorem for differentiable group actions satisfying certain expansion-hyperbolicity axioms. In this paper we relax Sullivan's axioms and introduce a notion of "meandering hyperbolicity" for group actions on geodesic metric spaces. This generalizati…

Let $G, H$ be two Kleinian groups with homeomorphic quotients $\mathbb H^3/G$ and $\mathbb H^3/H$. We assume that $G$ is of divergence type, and consider the Patterson-Sullivan measures of $G$ and $H$. The measurable rigidity theorem by Sullivan and Tukia says that a measurable and essentially directly measurable equiv…

Develops Patterson-Sullivan theory for coarse cocycles.

We extend the theory of Patterson-Sullivan measure to any regular covering of a compact manifold using the Busemann compactification and derive an integral formula for the volume entropy. As applications we prove some rigidity theorems for the volume entropy.

New measure of maximal entropy found for a class of geometrically finite groups.

Sullivan discusses his contributions to math and physics.

We give a sufficient condition for a metric (homology) manifold to be locally bi-Lipschitz equivalent to an open subset in $\rn$. The condition is a Sobolev condition for a measurable coframe of flat 1-forms. In combination with an earlier work of D. Sullivan, our methods also yield an analytic characterization for smo…

Study shows exact dimensionality and regularity of manifolds for specific groups.

Paper develops a theory for Patterson-Sullivan measures in higher rank symmetric spaces.

Following Sullivan's spacial realization of a differential algebra, we construct a universal integrating Lie 2-groupoid for every Lie algebroid. Then We show that unlike Lie algebras which one-to-one correspond to simply connected Lie groups, Lie algebroids (integrable or not) one-to-one correspond to a sort of etale L…

Extends Hopf-Tsuji-Sullivan dichotomy to higher rank groups and applies to Anosov subgroups.

Paper proves finite BMS measure for SPR groups in higher rank Lie groups.

Let $M$ be a closed, oriented and smooth manifold of dimension $d$. Let $ŁM$ be the space of smooth loops in $M$. Chas and Sullivan introduced loop product, a product of degree $-d$ on the homology of $LM$. In this paper we show how for three manifolds the ``nontriviality'' of the loop product relates to the ``hyperbol…

Unique entropy measure found for convex projective manifolds.

The paper connects geodesic flows and limit sets on visibility manifolds.

We give a finite dimensional approach to the Chas-Sullivan product on the free loop space of a manifold, orientable or not.

Prove a global shadow lemma for Patterson-Sullivan measures associated with relatively Morse subgroups in higher-rank semisimple Lie groups.

Proves classification of 4D complete intersections up to diffeomorphism.

Each compact Riemannian manifold with no conjugate points admits a family of functions whose integrals vanish exactly when central Busemann functions split linearly. These functions vanish when all central Busemann functions are sub- or superharmonic. When central Busemann functions are convex or concave, they must be …

Combines Kleinian groups and polynomials into a dynamical system.

This is the second paper in a series of investigations of the pluripotential theory on Teichmüller space. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the Poisson integral formula for pluriharmonic functions on Teichmüller space which are continuous on the Bers compactification. We also observe that the Schwarz type …

The main goal of this paper is to show a counterexample to the following conjecture: {\bf Conjecture} [Meeks, Sullivan]: If $f:M\to \mathbb{R}^3$ is a complete proper minimal immersion where $M$ is a Riemannian surface without boundary and with finite genus, then $M$ is parabolic. We have proved: {\bf Theorem:} There e…

The paper proves rigidity and uniformization theorems for infinite circle patterns and convex polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space.

New findings on geometric flows and equidistribution in Hilbert geometry.

In 1985 D.Sullivan had introduced a dictionary between two domains of complex dynamics: iterations of rational functions on the Riemann sphere and Kleinian groups. The latters are discrete subgroups of the group of conformal automorphisms of the Riemann sphere. This dictionary motivated many remarkable results in both …

Develops a chain-level model for Chas-Sullivan products using Morse theory with differential graded coefficients.

New findings show mapping class groups of certain high-dimensional manifolds are not residually finite.

Anosov groups limit sets are Ahlfors regular, with applications in Teichmüller spaces.

The fundamental group of a hyperbolic manifold acts on the limit set, giving rise to a cross-product C^* algebra. We construct nontrivial K-cycles for the cross-product algebra, thereby extending some results of Connes and Sullivan to higher dimensions. We also show how the Patterson-Sullivan measure on the limit set c…

The paper develops a theory of conformal density at infinity for groups with contracting elements.

Given a pair of integers m and n such that 1 < m < n, we show that every n-dimensional manifold admits metrics of arbitrarily small total volume, and possessing the following property: every m-dimensional submanifold of less than unit m-volume is necessarily torsion in homology. This result is different from the case o…

In this article, we consider the geodesic flow on a compact rank $1$ Riemannian manifold $M$ without focal points, whose universal cover is denoted by $X$. On the ideal boundary $X(\infty)$ of $X$, we show the existence and uniqueness of the Busemann density, which is realized via the Patterson-Sullivan measure. Based …
