For a one-parameter family of simple metrics of constant curvature ($4\kappa$ for $\kappa\in (-1,1)$) on the unit disk $M$, we first make explicit the Pestov-Uhlmann range characterization of the geodesic X-ray transform, by constructing a…

We study submanifolds whose principal curvatures, counted with multiplicities, do not depend on the normal direction. Such submanifolds, which we briefly call CPC submanifolds, are always austere, hence minimal, and have constant principal…

An explicit form for the geodesic equations that would describe diffracted light rays is obtained and the Levi-Civita connection that enters into it is shown to be a sum of contributions from the metric of the ambient space, the index of…

For finite dimensional real Lie algebras, we investigate the existence of an inner product having a basis comprised of geodesic elements. We give several existence and non-existence results in certain cases: unimodular solvable Lie algebras…

Let $(\Sigma, g)$ be a closed, oriented, negatively curved surface, and fix pairwise disjoint simple closed geodesics $\gamma_{\star,1}, \dots \gamma_{\star, r}$. We give an asymptotic growth as $L \to +\infty$ of the number of primitive…

Let $(M,g)$ be a $C^{\infty}$ compact, boudaryless connected manifold without conjugate points with quasi-convex universal covering and divergent geodesic rays. We show that the geodesic flow of $(M,g)$ is $C^{2}$-structurally stable from…

We consider hyperbolic structures on the compression body C with genus 2 positive boundary and genus 1 negative boundary. Note that C deformation retracts to the union of the torus boundary and a single arc with its endpoints on the torus.…

We construct Weil-Petersson (WP) geodesic rays with minimal filling non-uniquely ergodic ending lamination which are recurrent to a compact subset of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. This construction shows that an analogue of the…

We study the iterated blow-up X of projective space along an arbitrary collection of linear subspaces. By replacing the universal torsor with an $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy equivalent model, built from $\mathbb{A}^1$-fiber bundles not just…

We give examples of rank one compact surfaces on which there exist recurrent geodesics that cannot be shadowed by periodic geodesics. We build rank one compact surfaces such that ergodic measures on the unit tangent bundle of the surface…

The C-metric is a solution to Einstein's vacuum field equation that describes an accelerating black hole. In this paper we discuss the propagation of light rays and the resulting lensing features in this metric. We first solve the lightlike…

Riemannian Geometry for $C^{1,1}$ manifolds contains important differences from that for $C^{2}$ manifolds. This paper develops Riemannian geometry at the $C^{1,1}$ level of regularity. It is shown that the connection is not symmetric and…

Solutions of the Friedmann-Lemaitre cosmological equations of general relativity have been found with finite-time singularities that are everywhere regular, have regular Hubble expansion rate, and obey the strong-energy conditions but…

For a big class represented by $\theta$, we show that the metric space $(\mathcal{E}^{p}(X,\theta),d_{p})$ for $p \geq 1$ is Buseman convex. This allows us to construct a chordal metric $d_{p}^{c}$ on the space of geodesic rays in…

The construction of conformally invariant gauge conditions for Maxwell and Einstein theories on a manifold M is found to involve two basic ingredients. First, covariant derivatives of a linear gauge (e.g. Lorenz or de Donder), completely…

Consider piecewise linear Lorenz maps on $[0, 1]$ of the following form \[ f_{a,b,c}(x)= {ll} ax+1-ac & x \in [0, c) b(x-c) & x \in (c, 1].\] We prove that $f_{a,b,c}$ admits an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure (acim)…
