Parabolic mapping class acts on curve graphs of infinite type surfaces.

We study surfaces of constant mean curvature which are invariant by oneparameter group of either rotational isometries or parabolic isometries, immersed into the homogeneous manifold PSL2(R,tau). Also, we give some applications.

$Sol_3$ is shown not to be parabolic.

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…

We study the fixed point set in the ideal boundary of a parabolic isometry of a proper CAT(0)-space. We show that the radius of the fixed point set is at most pi/2, and study its centers. As a consequence, we prove that the set of fixed points is contractible with respect to the Tits topology.

We show that the translation length of any parabolic isometry on a complete semi-uniformly visible CAT(0) space is always zero. As a consequence, we will classify the isometries on visible CAT(0) spaces in terms of translation lengths. We will also show that the moduli space $\mathbb{M}(S_{g,n})$ of surface $S_{g,n}$ o…

This note will prove a discreteness criterion for groups of orientation-preserving isometries of the hyperbolic space which contain a parabolic element. It can be viewed as a generalization of the well-known results of Shimizu-Leutbecher and Jorgensen in dimensions 2 and 3, and is closely related to Waterman's inequali…

A surface in hyperbolic space $\h^3$ invariant by a group of parabolic isometries is called a parabolic surface. In this paper we investigate parabolic surfaces of $\h^3$ that satisfy a linear Weingarten relation of the form $aκ_1+bκ_2=c$ or $aH+bK=c$, where $a,b,c\in \r$ and, as usual, $κ_i$ are the principal curvatur…

Given a discrete subgroup $Γ$ of finite co-volume of $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, we define and study parabolic vector bundles on the quotient $Σ$ of the (extended) hyperbolic plane by $Γ$. If $Γ$ contains an orientation-reversing isometry, then the above is equivalent to studying real and quaternionic parabolic vecto…

Researchers solve a nonlocal parabolic equation on manifolds using source-to-solution maps.

The paper improves the description of Kähler metric flows and their singularities.

For a semisimple real Lie group $G$, we study topological properties of moduli spaces of polystable parabolic $G$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface with a divisor of finitely many distinct points. For a split real form of a complex simple Lie group, we compute the dimension of apparent parabolic Teichm{ü}ller compon…

For real hyperbolic spaces, the dynamics of individual isometries and the geometry of the limit set of nonelementary discrete isometry groups have been studied in great detail. Most of the results were generalised to discrete isometry groups of simply connected Riemannian manifolds of pinched negative curvature. For sy…

Margulis space-times with parabolic holonomy elements are stable under sufficiently small deformations.

We study lattices in non-positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided. Geometric arithmeticity results are obtained after a detour through superrigidity and arithmeticity of abstract lattices. Residua…

We prove that if u is a bounded smooth function in the kernel of a nonnegative Schrodinger operator $-L=-(Δ+q)$ on a parabolic Riemannian manifold M, then u is either identically zero or it has no zeros on M, and the linear space of such functions is 1-dimensional. We obtain consequences for orientable, complete stable…

In this paper, it is shown that every point in the hyperbolic 3-space is moved at a distance at least $0.5\log\left(12\cdot 3^{k-1}-3\right)$ by one of the isometries of length at most $k\geq 2$ in a 2-generator Klenian group $Γ$ which is torsion-free, not co-compact and contains no parabolic. Also some lower bounds fo…

Small deformations of a specific type of Lorentzian space-time preserve its structure.

We study discrete groups from the view point of a dimension gap in connection to CAT(0) geometry. Developing studies by Brady-Crisp and Bridson, we show that there exist finitely presented groups of geometric dimension 2 which do not act properly on any proper CAT(0) spaces of dimension 2 by isometries, although such a…

For $0\leq H< 1/2$, we construct entire $H$-graphs in $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ that are parabolic and not invariant by one parameter groups of isometries of $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$. Their asymptotic boundaries are $(\partial_\infty\mathbb{H}^2)\times\mathbb{R}$; they are dense at infinity. When $H=0$ the e…

If f is a conformal mapping defined on a connected open subset of a Carnot group G, then either f is the composition of a translation, a dilation and an isometry, or G is the nilpotent Iwasawa component of a real rank 1 simple Lie group S, and f arises from the action of S on G, viewed as an open subset of S/P, where P…

In this paper we develop the theory of properly immersed minimal surfaces in the quotient space $\mathbb H^2\times\mathbb R/G,$ where $G$ is a subgroup of isometries generated by a vertical translation and a horizontal isometry in $\mathbb H^2$ without fixed points. The horizontal isometry can be either a parabolic tra…

Extends Paulin's result to relatively hyperbolic groups.

Any action of a group $Γ$ on $\mathbb H^3$ by isometries yields a class in degree three bounded cohomology by pulling back the volume cocycle to $Γ$. We prove that the bounded cohomology of finitely generated Kleinian groups without parabolic elements distinguishes the asymptotic geometry of geometrically infinite ends…

The $\log 3$ Theorem, proved by Culler and Shalen, states that every point in the hyperbolic 3-space is moved a distance at least $\log 3$ by one of the non-commuting isometries $ξ$ or $η$ provided that $ξ$ and $η$ generate a torsion-free, discrete group which is not co-compact and contains no parabolic. This theorem l…

We prove an Alexandrov type theorem for a quotient space of $\mathbb H^2\times \mathbb R$. More precisely we classify the compact embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature in the quotient of $\mathbb H^2\times \mathbb R$ by a subgroup of isometries generated by a parabolic translation along horocycles of $\mathbb …

Study traveling waves in hyperbolic space for Fisher-KPP equations.

In this paper we review some author's results about Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and hyperbolic space $\h^3$. We stress here in the search of examples of linear Weingarten surfaces that satisfy a certain geometric property. First, we consider Weingarten surfaces in $\r^3$ that are foliated by circles, …

New families of translating solitons found in hyperbolic space.

Let $X$ be a negatively curved symmetric space and $Γ$ a non-cocompact lattice in $\rm{Isom}(X)$. We show that small, parabolic-preserving deformations of $Γ$ into the isometry group of any negatively curved symmetric space containing $X$ remain discrete and faithful (the cocompact case is due to Guichard). This applie…

We study noncompact, complete, finite volume, negatively curved manifolds $M$. We construct $M$ with infinitely generated fundamental groups in all dimensions $n \geq 2$. We construct $M$ whose cusp cross sections are compact hyperbolic manifolds in all dimension $n\geq 3$. In contrast we show that if sectional curvatu…

By using Thurston's bending construction we obtain a sequence of faithful discrete representations ρ_n of the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold fibering over the circle into the isometry group Iso H^4 of the hyperbolic space H^4. The algebraic limit of ρ_n contains a finitely generated subgroup F whos…

The waist size of a cusp in an orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold is the length of the shortest nontrivial curve generated by a parabolic isometry in the maximal cusp boundary. Previously, it was shown that the smallest possible waist size, which is 1, is realized only by the cusp in the figure-eight knot complement. In …

Thurston's ending lamination conjecture proposes that a finitely generated Kleinian group is uniquely determined (up to isometry) by the topology of its quotient and a list of invariants that describe the asymptotic geometry of its ends. We present a proof of this conjecture for punctured-torus groups. These are free t…

The aim of this paper is to study cohomogeneity one isometric linear actions on the $p+q$-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{p,q}$. It is proved that the natural isometric action of the nilpotent factor of an Iwasawa decomposition of $SO(p,q)$ is not of cohomogeneity one. The orbits of cohomogeneity one ac…

We prove the convex combination theorem for hyperbolic n-manifolds. Applications are given both in high dimensions and in 3 dimensions. One consequence is that given two geometrically finite subgroups of a discrete group of isometries of hyperbolic n-space, satisfying a natural condition on their parabolic subgroups, t…

Computes deformations of parabolic structures on Riemann surfaces.

Reductive (or semisimple) algebraic groups, Lie groups and Lie algebras have a rich geometry determined by their parabolic subgroups and subalgebras, which carry the structure of a building in the sense of J. Tits. We present herein an elementary approach to the geometry of parabolic subalgebras, over an arbitrary fiel…

The paper proves a rigidity theorem for non-compact convex sets in hyperbolic 3-space.

We provide some criteria to $p$-parabolicity of Riemannian submersions. In particular, if $N$ is $p$-parabolic and $π:M\to N$ is a Riemannian submersion with uniformly bounded volume of fibers, then $M$ is also $p$-parabolic. In the case of warped manifolds we characterize $p$-parabolicity in terms of a volume growth c…
