We give a new construction of the measure of maximal entropy for transitive Anosov flows through a method analogous to the construction of Patterson-Sullivan measures in negative curvature. In order to carry out our procedure we prove…
We prove that closed negatively curved locally symmetric spaces are characterized up to isometry among all homotopy equivalent negatively curved manifolds by the Lyapunov spectra of the periodic orbits of their geodesic flows. This is done…
We generalize the extension and trace results of Bj\"orn-Bj\"orn-Shanmugalingam \cite{BBS21} to the setting of complete noncompact doubling metric measure spaces and their uniformized hyperbolic fillings. This is done through a…
We generalize the recent results of Bj\"orn-Bj\"orn-Shanmugalingam \cite{BBS20} concerning how measures transform under the uniformization procedure of Bonk-Heinonen-Koskela for Gromov hyperbolic spaces \cite{BHK} by showing that these…
We define $\partial$-biLipschitz homeomorphisms between uniform metric spaces and show that these maps are always quasim\"obius. We also show that a homeomorphism being $\partial$-biLipschitz is equivalent to the map biLipschitz in the…
Given a complete Gromov hyperbolic space $X$ that is roughly starlike from a point $\omega$ in its Gromov boundary $\partial_{G}X$, we use a Busemann function based at $\omega$ to construct an incomplete unbounded uniform metric space…
We study singular value potentials of H\"older continuous $GL_2(\mathbb{R})$-cocycles over hyperbolic systems whose canonical holonomies converge and are H\"older continuous. Such cocycles include locally constant…
We prove that a locally constant $SL_{2}(\mathbb{R})$-valued cocycle over the shift generated by an irreducible collection of matrices is a continuity point for Lyapunov exponents in the $\alpha$-H\"older topology for every $\alpha > 0$.…
We prove a conjecture of Viana which states that Lyapunov exponents vary continuously when restricted to $GL(2,\mathbb{R})$-valued cocycles over a subshift of finite type which admit invariant holonomies that depend continuously on the…
We show that any measurable solution of the cohomological equation for a H\"older linear cocycle over a hyperbolic system coincides almost everywhere with a H\"older solution. More generally, we show that every measurable invariant…
We study smooth volume-preserving perturbations of the time-1 map of the geodesic flow $\psi_{t}$ of a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension at least three with constant negative curvature. We show that such a perturbation has equal…
We give examples of locally constant $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$-cocycles over a Bernoulli shift which are discontinuity points for Lyapunov exponents in the H\"older topology and are arbitrarily close to satisfying the fiber bunching inequality.…
We study the relationship between the Lyapunov exponents of the geodesic flow of a closed negatively curved manifold and the geometry of the manifold. We show that if each periodic orbit of the geodesic flow has exactly one Lyapunov…
We introduce an additional structure on ribbon graphs, arrow structure. We extend the Bollob\'as-Riordan polynomial to ribbon graph with this structure. The extended polynomial satisfies the contraction-deletion relations and naturally…
We introduce a generalization of the Krushkal polynomial to nonorientable surfaces, and prove that this polynomial has a natural quasi-tree expansion. This generalized Krushkal polynomial contains the Bollob\'as-Riordan polynomial of a…
We establish a relation between the Bollobas-Riordan polynomial of a ribbon graph with the relative Tutte polynomial of a plane graph obtained from the ribbon graph using its projection to the plane in a nontrivial way. Also we give a…
