Abstract

Following Thurston's geometrisation picture in dimension three, we study geometric manifolds in a more general setting in arbitrary dimensions, with respect to the following problems: (i) The existence of maps of non-zero degree (domination relation or Gromov's order); (ii) The Gromov-Thurston monotonicity problem for numerical homotopy invariants with respect to the domination relation; (iii) The existence of Anosov diffeomorphisms (Anosov-Smale conjecture).
