Symbolic dynamics for flows in high dimensions, extending previous work.

New stability estimate for metric rigidity in hyperbolic dynamics.

Let $f:M\to M$ be a dynamically coherent partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism whose center foliation has all its leaves compact. We prove that if the unstable bundle of $f$ is one-dimensional, then the volume of center leaves must be bounded in $M$.

This paper proves properties of uniformly hyperbolic sets and constructs Markov partitions.

Study strip deformations of hyperbolic polygons with decorated vertices.

We show that for any group $G$ that is hyperbolic relative to subgroups that admit a proper affine isometric action on a uniformly convex Banach space, then $G$ acts properly on a uniformly convex Banach space as well.

Uniform undistortion in cyclic subgroups of certain groups.

We prove a Morse Lemma for coarsely regular quasigeodesics in nonpositively curved symmetric spaces and euclidean buildings X. The main application is a simpler coarse geometric characterization of Morse subgroups of the isometry groups Isom(X) as undistorted subgroups which are coarsely uniformly regular. We show furt…

Let $Γ$ be a finitely generated group which is hyperbolic relative to a finite family $\{H_1,...,H_n\}$ of subgroups. We prove that $Γ$ is uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space if and only if each subgroup $H_i$ is uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space.

Uniformly perfect Morse boundaries characterize geometric properties of groups.

The paper studies stability of discretized Anosov flows.

In a very influential paper Gehring and Palka introduced the notions of quasiconformally homogeneous and uniformly quasiconformally homogeneous subsets of Euclidean space. Their motivation was to provide a characterization of quasi-disks, i.e. domains which are quasiconformally homeomorphic to the unit disk. As a gener…

We show that a relatively hyperbolic graph with uniformly hyperbolic peripheral subgraphs is hyperbolic. As an application, we show that the disc graph and the electrified disc graph of a handlebody H of genus g>1 are hyperbolic, and we determine their Gromov boundaries.

Uniformly finite Cannon--Thurston fibers in most hyperbolic settings.

We show that the nearest point retraction is a uniform quasi-isometry from the Thurston metric on a hyperbolic domain in the Riemann sphere to the boundary of the convex hull of its complement. As a corollary, one obtains explicit bounds on the quasi-isometry constant of the nearest point retraction with respect to the…

Unified theory of $θ$-expectations derived from chaotic dynamics.

Let M be a 1-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold whose cusp shape is quadratic. We show that there exists c=c(M) such that the number of hyperbolic Dehn fillings of M with any given volume v is uniformly bounded by c.

This work is devoted to the study of deformations of hyperbolic cone structures under the assumption that the lengths of the singularity remain uniformly bounded over the deformation. Given a sequence $(M_{i}$ of pointed hyperbolic cone-manifolds with topological type $(M,Σ)$, where $M$ is a closed, orientab…

In this paper, we study the Hausdorff dimension of the Floyd and Bowditch boundaries of a relatively hyperbolic group, and show that for the Floyd metric and shortcut metrics respectively, they are are both equal to a constant times the growth rate of the group. In the proof, we study a special class of conical points …

Flow of convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space converges to geodesic spheres.

We show that for acylindrically hyperbolic groups $Γ$ (with no nontrivial finite normal subgroups) and arbitrary unitary representation $ρ$ of $Γ$ in a (nonzero) uniformly convex Banach space the vector space $H^2_b(Γ;ρ)$ is infinite dimensional. The result was known for the regular representations on $\ell^p(Γ)$ with …

The paper studies minimal surface entropy on hyperbolic 3-manifolds and compares it to the hyperbolic case.

Surjectivity of Cannon-Thurston map proven for metric graph bundles.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an affine deformation of a Schottky subgroup of O(2,1) to act properly on affine space. There exists a real-valued biaffine map between the cohomology of the Schottky group and the space of geodesic currents on the corresponding hyperbolic surface S. For a fixed cohomolog…

Study connects surface projections in fibered 3-manifolds.

This work is devoted to the study of deformations of hyperbolic cone structures under the assumption that the lengths of the singularity remain uniformly bounded over the deformation. Given a sequence (M_{i},p_{i}) of pointed hyperbolic cone-manifolds with topological type (M,Σ), where M is a closed, orientable and irr…

If one tries to embed a metric space uniformly in Hilbert space, how close to quasi-isometric could the embedding be? We answer this question for finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes and for hyperbolic groups. In particular, we show that the Hilbert space compression of any hyperbolic group is 1.

We introduce and study the notion of relative rigidity for pairs $(X,\JJ)$ where 1) $X$ is a hyperbolic metric space and $\JJ$ a collection of quasiconvex sets 2) $X$ is a relatively hyperbolic group and $\JJ$ the collection of parabolics 3) $X$ is a higher rank symmetric space and $\JJ$ an equivariant collection of ma…

We show that the graphs of nonseparating curves for oriented finite type surfaces are uniformly hyperbolic. Our proof follows the proof of uniform hyperbolicity of the graphs of curves for closed surfaces due to Przytycki-Sisto, while introducing new arguments using homology to certify that certain curves are nonsepara…

A new classifier improves one-class predictions on unevenly sampled data.

New adapted renormalized volume for hyperbolic 3-manifolds with compressible boundary.

We show that the asymptotic dimension of a hyperbolic relatively hyperbolic graph is finite provided that this holds true uniformly for the peripheral subgraphs and for the electrifiation. We use this to show that the asymptotic dimension of the disk graph of a handlebody of genus at least two is at most quadratic in t…

The paper studies harmonic map heat flow to flat tori, proving ergodic behavior and convergence to hyperbolic measure.

We prove that every countable family of countable acylindrically hyperbolic groups has a common finitely generated acylindrically hyperbolic quotient. As an application, we obtain an acylindrically hyperbolic group $Q$ with strong fixed point properties: $Q$ has property $FL^p$ for all $p\in [1, +\infty)$, and every ac…

We study the stability of the Positive Mass Theorem (PMT) and the Riemannian Penrose Inequality (RPI) in the case where a region of an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold $M^3$ can be foliated by a smooth solution of Inverse Mean Curvature Flow (IMCF) which is uniformly controlled. We consider a sequence of regions of a…

Given a hyperbolic domain, the nearest point retraction is a conformally natural homotopy equivalence from the domain to the boundary of the convex core of its complement. Marden and Markovic showed that if the domain is uniformly perfect, then there exists a conformally natural quasiconformal map which admits a bounde…

Study spectral gaps in hyperbolic rational homology spheres.

Study compares volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds using Ricci-DeTurck flow.

We give a combinatorial proof, using the hyperbolicity of the curve graphs, of the bounded geodesic image theorem of Masur and Minsky. Recently it has been shown that curve graphs are uniformly hyperbolic, thus a universal bound can be given for the diameter of the geodesic image. We also generalize the theorem for pro…

Any closed, oriented, hyperbolic three-manifold with nontrivial second homology has many quasigeodesic flows, where quasigeodesic means that flow lines are uniformly efficient in measuring distance in relative homotopy classes. The flows are pseudo-Anosov flows which are almost transverse to finite depth foliations in …

We show how to derive hyperbolicity of the free factor complex of $F_N$ from the Handel-Mosher proof of hyperbolicity of the free splitting complex of $F_N$, thus obtaining an alternative proof of a theorem of Bestvina-Feighn. We also show that under the natural map $τ$ from the free splitting complex to free factor co…

Whenever a finitely generated group $G$ acts properly discontinuously by isometries on a metric space $X$, there is an induced uniform embedding (a Lipschitz and uniformly proper map) $ρ: G \rightarrow X$ given by mapping $G$ to an orbit. We study when there is a difference between a finitely generated group $G$ acting…
