The paper calculates large genus limits for quadratic differential volumes and constants.

We show that the Masur-Veech volumes and area Siegel-Veech constants can be obtained by intersection numbers on the strata of Abelian differentials with prescribed orders of zeros. As applications, we evaluate their large genus limits and compute the saddle connection Siegel-Veech constants for all strata. We also show…

We show that the set of colored Jones polynomials and the set of generalized Alexander polynomials defined by Akutsu, Deguchi and Ohtsuki intersect non-trivially. Moreover it is shown that the intersection is (at least includes) the set of Kashaev's quantum dilogarithm invariants for links. Therefore Kashaev's conjectu…

We describe a conjectural formula via intersection numbers for the Masur-Veech volumes of strata of quadratic differentials with prescribed zero orders, and we prove the formula for the case when the zero orders are odd. For the principal strata of quadratic differentials with simple zeros, the formula reduces to compu…

Let $\{α\}$ and $\{β\}$ be nef cohomology classes of bidegree $(1,\,1)$ on a compact $n$-dimensional Kähler manifold $X$ such that the difference of intersection numbers $\{α\}^n - n\,\{α\}^{n-1}.\,\{β\}$ is positive. We solve in a number of special but rather inclusive cases the quantitative part of Demailly's Transce…

We show that the complex hyperbolic metrics defined by Deligne-Mostow and Thurston on ${\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$ are singular Kähler-Einstein metrics when ${\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$ is embedded in the Deligne-Mumford-Knudsen compactification $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$. As a consequence, we obtain a formula computing the volu…

The setting for this brief paper is R^3. Distance between two spheres is understood as distance delta between spherical centers. For instance, a Reuleaux tetrahedron T is the intersection of four unit balls satisfying delta=1 pairwise. Volume and surface area of T are already well-known; our humble contribution is to c…

I answer an open question left by Gui-Song Li in "On self-intersections of immersed surfaces" (AMS Proceedings, Volume 126, 1998, pp.3721-3726.) The intersection graph $M(i)$ of a generic surface $i:F \to S^3$ is the set of values which are either singularities or intersections. It is a multigraph whose edges are trans…

Smooth complex surfaces with triple intersections using differential geometry.

Defines quantum intersection number on pants decompositions and relates it to hyperbolic geometry.

Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces may be endowed with a symplectic structure via the Weil-Petersson form. Mirzakhani proved that Weil-Petersson volumes exhibit polynomial behaviour and that their coefficients store intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves. In this survey article, we discuss these results as w…

We express the Masur-Veech volume and the area Siegel-Veech constant of the moduli space of meromorphic quadratic differential with simple poles as polynomials in the intersection numbers of psi-classes supported on the boundary cycles of the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of curves. Our formulae …

The geometry of causal diamonds or Alexandrov open sets whose initial and final events $p$ and $q$ respectively have a proper-time separation $τ$ small compared with the curvature scale is a universal. The corrections from flat space are given as a power series in $τ$ whose coefficients involve the curvature at the cen…

Study shows nontrivial intersections of subgroups on homogeneous spaces.

It is unknown whether an unknotting tunnel is always isotopic to a geodesic in a finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold. In this paper, we address the generalization of this problem to hyperbolic 3-manifolds admitting tunnel systems. We show that there exist finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds with a single cusp, with a …

Analogues of the classical inequalities from the Brunn-Minkowski theory for rotation intertwining additive maps of convex bodies are developed. Analogues are also proved of inequalities from the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory for intertwining additive maps of star bodies. These inequalities provide generalizations of resu…

Study calculates reach and curvature of a specific geometric variety.

In this note we show the following result using the integral-geometric formula of R. Howard: Consider the totally geodesic $\mathbb{R}P^{2m}$ in $\mathbb{C}P^n$. Then it minimizes volume among the isotropic submanifolds in the same $\mathbb{Z}/2$ homology class in $\mathbb{C}P^n$ (but not among all submanifolds in this…

Given a centrally symmetric convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a positive number $λ$, we consider, among all ellipsoids $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of volume $λ$, those that best approximate $K$ with respect to the symmetric difference metric, or equivalently that maximize the volume of $E\cap K$: these are the maxi…

This paper is a starting point towards computing the Hausdorff dimension of submanifolds and the Hausdorff volume of small balls in a sub-Riemannian manifold with singular points. We first consider the case of a strongly equiregular submanifold, i.e., a smooth submanifold N for which the growth vector of the distributi…

We give an explicit description of the 3-ball quotients constructed by Couwenberg-Heckman-Looijenga, and deduce the value of their orbifold Euler characteristics. For each lattice, we also give a presentation in terms of generators and relations.

Let $Y$ be a hyperbolic surface and let $φ$ be a Laplacian eigenfunction having eigenvalue $-1/4-τ^2$ with $τ>0$. Let $N(φ)$ be the set of nodal lines of $φ$. For a fixed analytic curve $γ$ of finite length, we study the number of intersections between $N(φ)$ and $γ$ in terms of $τ$. When $Y$ is compact and $γ$ a geode…

We introduce an inductive argument for proving birational superrigidity and K-stability of singular Fano complete intersections of index one, using the same types of information from lower dimensions. In particular, we prove that a hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ of degree $n+1$ with only ordinary singularities of m…

We obtain some restrictions on the topology of infinite volume hyperbolic manifolds. In particular, for any n and any closed negatively curved manifold M of dimension greater than 2, only finitely many hyperbolic n-manifolds are total spaces of orientable vector bundles over M.

Since there is no hyperbolic Dehn filling theorem for higher dimensions, it is challenging to construct explicit hyperbolic manifolds of small volume in dimension at least four. Here, we build up closed hyperbolic 4-manifolds of volume $\frac{34π^2}{3}\cdot 16$ by using the small cover theory. In particular, we classif…

Study of $n$-cylinder surfaces to calculate Masur-Veech volumes.

We consider a smooth Euclidean solid cone endowed with a smooth homogeneous density function used to weight Euclidean volume and hypersurface area. By assuming convexity of the cone and a curvature-dimension condition we prove that the unique compact, orientable, second order minima of the weighted area under variation…

We study the problem of existence of regions separating a given amount of volume with the least possible perimeter inside a Euclidean cone. Our main result shows that nonexistence for a given volume implies that the isoperimetric profile of the cone coincides with the one of the half-space. This allows us to give some …

Exact asymptotic value of Weil-Petersson volumes computed for large genus surfaces.

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 …

We study the localization of sets with constant nonlocal mean curvature and prescribed small volume in a bounded open set with smooth boundary, proving that they are {\em sufficiently close} to critical points of a suitable non-local potential. We then consider the fractional perimeter in half-spaces. We prove the exis…

We study geometric properties of complete non-compact bounded self-shrinkers and obtain natural restrictions that force these hypersurfaces to be compact. Furthermore, we observe that, to a certain extent, complete self-shrinkers intersect transversally a hyperplane through the origin. When such an intersection is comp…

We investigate the cross ratio for closed negatively curved manifolds. As one of several applications, we obtain that for two such homotopy equivalent manifolds M and N, the following is true : If M and N have the same marked length spectrum and if the Anosov splitting for M is C^1 then M and N have the same volume.

The paper discusses the impossibility of eliminating surplus intersections in Lagrangian submanifolds.
