Study Liouville theorem for specific harmonic maps.

Let M be a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold, with sectional curvature K bounded above by -1. Under some assumptions on the geometry of the boundary of M, which are satisfied for instance if M is a symmetric space, or has dimension 2, we prove that given any family of horoballs in M, and any point x_0 outsi…

New proof for hyperbolic groups using contracting boundaries of cusped spaces.

Proves symmetric spaces for certain quasi-isometric properties.

Let M be a geometrically finite pinched negatively curved Riemannian manifold with at least one cusp. We study the asymptotics of the number of geodesics in M starting from and returning to a given cusp, and of the number of horoballs at parabolic fixed points in the universal cover of M. In the appendix, due to K. Bel…

We prove mean curvature estimates and a Jorge-Koutroufiotis type theorem for submanifolds confined into either a horocylinder of N X L or a horoball of N, where N is a Cartan-Hadamard manifold with pinched curvature. Thus, these submanifolds behave in many respects like submanifolds immersed into compact balls and into…

In the course of our work on low-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds, we came upon a linking problem for horoball necklaces in $\mathbb{H}^3$. A horoball necklace is a collection of sequentially tangent beards (i.e. spheres) with disjoint interiors lying on a flat table (i.e. a plane) such that each bead is of diameter at mo…

Given a discrete subgroup of the isometries of n-dimensional hyperbolic space there is always a region kept precisely invariant under the stabilizer of a parabolic fixed point, called the Margulis region. While in dimensions 2 and 3 this region is a horoball, it has in general a more complicated shape due to the existe…

This study extends a result on quasi-isometry of hyperbolic groups to relatively hyperbolic groups.

Researchers prove the arc complexes of decorated hyperbolic polygons are balls.

This paper studies deformations of hyperbolic surfaces with special structures.

An unknotting tunnel in a 3-manifold with boundary is a properly embedded arc, the complement of an open neighborhood of which is a handlebody. A geodesic with endpoints on the cusp boundary of a hyperbolic 3-manifold and perpendicular to the cusp boundary is called a vertical geodesic. Given a vertical geodesic in a h…

Extends Paulin's result to relatively hyperbolic groups.

Study on hidden symmetries in Dehn fillings of tetrahedral links.

In this paper we consider a family of Riemannian manifolds, not necessarily complete, with curvature conditions in a neighborhood of a ray. Under these conditions we obtain that the essential spectrum of the Laplacian contains an interval. The results presented in this paper allow to determine the spectrum of the Lapla…

Study strip deformations of hyperbolic polygons with decorated vertices.

We present a general method to compute a presentation for any cusped arithmetic hyperbolic lattice $Γ$, applying a classical result of Macbeath to a suitable $Γ$-invariant horoball cover of the corresponding symmetric space. As applications we compute presentations for the Picard modular groups ${\rm PU}(2,1,\mathcal{O…

We study the bottom of the spectrum in Hilbert geometries, we show that it is zero if and only if the geometry is amenable, in other words if and only if it admits a Fölner sequence. We also show that the bottom of the spectrum admits an upper bound, which depends only on the dimension and which is the bottom of the sp…

We build an augmentation of the Masur-Minsky marking complex by Groves-Manning combinatorial horoballs to obtain a graph we call the augmented marking complex, $\mathcal{AM}(S)$. Adapting work of Masur-Minsky, we prove that $\mathcal{AM}(S)$ is quasiisometric to Teichmüller space with the Teichmüller metric. A similar …

We investigate, for the Laplacian operator, the existence and nonexistence of eigenfunctions of eigenvalue between zero and the first eigenvalue of the hyperbolic space H^n, for unbounded domains of H^n. If a domain is contained in a horoball, we prove that there is no positive bounded eigenfunction that vanishes on th…

Suppose X/Gamma is an arithmetic locally symmetric space of noncompact type (with the natural metric induced by the Killing form of the isometry group of X), and let p be a point on the visual boundary of X. It was shown by T.Hattori that if each horoball based at p intersects every Gamma-orbit in X, then p is not on t…

Mark and Paupert devised a general method for obtaining presentations for arithmetic non-cocompact lattices, $Γ$, in isometry groups of negatively curved symmetric spaces. The method involves a classical theorem of Macbeath applied to a $Γ$-invariant covering by horoballs of the negatively curved symmetric space upon w…

New definition of stable $(r+1)$-th capillary hypersurfaces proposed.

A generalized cusp $C$ is diffeomorphic to $[0,\infty)$ times a closed Euclidean manifold. Geometrically $C$ is the quotient of a properly convex domain by a lattice, $Γ$, in one of a family of affine groups $G(ψ)$, parameterized by a point $ψ$ in the (dual closed) Weyl chamber for $SL(n+1,\mathbb{R})$, and $Γ$ determi…

If a hyperbolic 3-manifold admits an exceptional Dehn filling, then the length of the slope of that Dehn filling is known to be at most six. However, the bound of six appears to be sharp only in the toroidal case. In this paper, we investigate slope lengths of other exceptional fillings. We construct hyperbolic 3-manif…

Given a family of (almost) disjoint strictly convex subsets of a complete negatively curved Riemannian manifold M, such as balls, horoballs, tubular neighborhoods of totally geodesic submanifolds, etc, the aim of this paper is to construct geodesic rays or lines in M which have exactly once an exactly prescribed (big e…

We study the geometry of the Margulis region associated with an irrational screw translation $g$ acting on the 4-dimensional real hyperbolic space. This is an invariant domain with the parabolic fixed point of $g$ on its boundary which plays the role of an invariant horoball for a translation in dimensions $\leq 3$. Th…

The paper proves actions of lattices in higher rank groups have cost one.

This paper continues a geometric study of Harvey's Complex of Curves, whose ultimate goal is to apply the theory of hyperbolic spaces and groups to algorithmic questions for the Mapping Class Group and geometric properties of Kleinian representations. The authors' previous result that the complex is delta-hyperbolic wa…

New method for optimization on Hadamard manifolds with curvature-independent guarantees.

A new depth measure and median defined on Hadamard manifolds.

In this paper we initiate a study of the topological group $PPQI(G,H)$ of pattern-preserving quasi-isometries for $G$ a hyperbolic Poincare duality group and $H$ an infinite quasiconvex subgroup of infinite index in $G$. Suppose $\partial G$ admits a visual metric $d$ with $dim_H < dim_t +2$, where $dim_H$ is the Hausd…

After having investigated the regular prisms and prism tilings in the $\SLR$ space in the previous work \cite{Sz13-1} of the second author, we consider the problem of geodesic ball packings related to those tilings and their symmetry groups $\mathbf{pq2_1}$. $\SLR$ is one of the eight Thurston geometries that can be de…
