Develops measures for non-Borel Anosov groups on Furstenberg boundary.

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 …

Anosov groups' measures on limit sets are uniquely determined by their dimension.

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…

The paper extends geometric results from negatively-curved spaces to strictly convex Hilbert geometry.

We prove that for a relatively hyperbolic group G there is a sequence of relatively hyperbolic proper quotients such that their growth rates converge to the growth rate of G. Under natural assumptions, the same conclusion holds for the critical exponent of a cusp-uniform action of G on a hyperbolic metric space. As a c…

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

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

The paper proves rigidity and ergodicity of horospherical foliations.

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…

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…

The paper describes decompositions of geometric measures on Anosov homogeneous spaces.

The paper studies proper discontinuity of actions on Weyl chamber flow spaces.

For a torsion free Kleinian group $Γ$ without parabolics, we consider the decomposition of the limit set $L(Γ)$ into conical and ending limit sets and compare the Patterson-Sullivan measure with the harmonic measure on $L(Γ)$ when $L(Γ)=S^2_\infty$.

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

We consider a finitely generated torsion free Kleinian group $H$ and a random walk on $H$ with respect to a symmetric nondegenerate probability measure $μ$ with finite support. When $H$ is geometrically infinite without parabolics or when $H$ is Gromov hyperbolic with parabolics, we prove that the Patterson-Sullivan me…

Sullivan discusses his contributions to math and physics.

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…

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.

Frame flows on certain symmetric spaces mix exponentially.

We introduce the concept of solenoid as an abstract laminated space. We do a thorough study of solenoids, leading to the notion of ergodic and uniquely ergodic solenoids. We define generalized currents associated with immersions of oriented solenoids with a transversal measure into smooth manifolds, generalizing Ruelle…

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

In this paper we consider non-compact non-flat simply connected harmonic manifolds. In particular, we show that the Martin boundary and Busemann boundary coincide for such manifolds. For any finite volume quotient we show that (up to scaling) there is a unique Patterson-Sullivan measure and this measure coincides with …

The Manhattan curve connects metrics of hyperbolic groups, showing rigidity.

We study extreme values of group-indexed stable random fields for discrete groups $G$ acting geometrically on spaces $X$ in the following cases: 1) $G$ acts freely, properly discontinuously by isometries on a CAT(-1) space $X$, 2) $G$ is a lattice in a higher rank Lie group, acting on a symmetric space $X$, 3) $G$ is t…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of smooth Lyapunov 1-forms for the flow of a smooth vector field in terms of the behavior of certain locally finite invariant measures. The main statement generalizes a result of Schwartzman, whereas the methods are adapted from work of Sullivan.

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

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 …

Proves classification of 4D complete intersections up to diffeomorphism.

A measured solenoid is a laminated space endowed with a tranversal measure invariant by holonomy, as defined in arXiv:0910.2836. A measured solenoid immersed in a smooth manifold produces a closed current (known as generalized Ruelle-Sullivan current). Uniquely ergodic solenoids are those for which there is a unique (u…

With their origin in thermodynamics and symbolic dynamics, Gibbs measures are crucial tools to study the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We develop a framework (through Patterson-Sullivan densities) allowing us to get rid of compactness assumptions on the manifold, and prove many exi…

Combines Kleinian groups and polynomials into a dynamical system.

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…
