In Riemannian geometry geodesics are integral curves of the Riemannian distance gradient. We extend this classical result to the framework of Information Geometry. In particular, we prove that the rays of level-sets defined by a…

Within a framework of noncommutative geometry, we develop an analogue of (pseudo) Riemannian geometry on finite and discrete sets. On a finite set, there is a counterpart of the continuum metric tensor with a simple geometric…

Suppose $(X,J,\omega)$ is a Fano manifold and $t \to r_t$ is a diverging K\"ahler-Ricci trajectory. We construct a bounded geodesic ray $t \to u_t$ weakly asymptotic to $t \to r_t$, along which Ding's $\mathcal F$-functional decreases,…

In this note we give a characterization of taut Riemannian foliations using the transverse divergence. This result turns out to be a convenient tool in the case of some standard examples. Furthermore, we show that a classical tautness…

We study how the length and the twisting parameter of a curve change along a Teichmuller geodesic. We then use our results to provide a formula for the Teichmuller distance between two hyperbolic metrics on a surface, in terms of the…

We introduce a deformation of Riemann surfaces and we are interested in the convergence of this deformation to a point of the Gardiner-masur boundary of Teichmueller space. This deformation, which we call the horocyclic deformation, is…

Extremal length is an important conformal invariant on Riemann surface. It is closely related to the geometry of Teichmuller metric on Teichmuller space. By identifying extremal length functions with energy of harmonic maps from Riemann…

We first introduce a class of divergence measures between power spectral density matrices. These are derived by comparing the suitability of different models in the context of optimal prediction. Distances between "infinitesimally close"…

We consider the tidal forces between test particles falling along geodesics in the exterior spacetime generated by a static and axially symmetric compact matter source with non-vanishing mass quadrupole. Specifically, we analyze the radial…

We study linear cosmological perturbations in the most general teleparallel gravity setting, where gravity is mediated by the torsion and nonmetricity of a flat connection alongside the metric. For a general linear perturbation of this…

We discuss linear perturbations of the most general class of teleparallel spacetimes with cosmological symmetry, and perform a decomposition of these perturbations into irreducible components. We then study their behavior under gauge…

The article surveys inverse problems related to the twisted geodesic flows on Riemannian manifolds with boundary, focusing on the generalized ray transforms, tensor tomography, and rigidity problems. The twisted geodesic flow generalizes…

We continue the comparison between lines of minima and Teichmueller geodesics begun in [CRS1]. We show that in the Teichmueller space of a surface S, lines of minima are quasi-geodesic with respect to the Teichmueller metric. The…

Caratheodory's and Kobayashi's metrics on Teichmueller spaces of dimension two or more are never equal in the direction of any tangent vector defined by a separating cylindrical differential

The Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$ of a surface $\Sigma$ is equipped with Thurston's asymmetric metric. Stretch lines are oriented geodesics for this metric on $\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$. We give the asymptotic behavior of the lengths…

While there may be many Thurston metric geodesics between a pair of points in Teichm\"uller space, we find that by imposing an additional energy minimization constraint on the geodesics, thought of as limits of harmonic map rays, we select…

We prove that if a geodesic metric measure space satisfies a comparison condition for isoperimetric profile and if the observable variance is maximal, then the space is foliated by minimal geodesics, where the observable variance is defined…

This paper contains two main results. The first is the existence of an equivariant Weil-Petersson geodesic in Teichmueller space for any choice of pseudo-Anosov mapping class. As a consequence one obtains a classification of the elements of…

Our results concern geometry of a manifold endowed with a pair of complementary orthogonal distributions (plane fields) and a time-dependent Riemannian metric. The work begins with formulae concerning deformations of geometric quantities as…

Motivated by a question of R.\ Nandakumar, we show that the Euclidean plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex quadrangles of the same area and the same perimeter. As a byproduct we obtain vertex-to-vertex dissections of the…
