We use a recent formalism of quantum geodesics in noncommutative geometry to construct geodesic flow on the infinite chain $\cdots\bullet$--$\bullet$--$\bullet\cdots$. We find that noncommutative effects due to the discretisation of the…

Geodesic balls in a simply connected space forms $\mathbb{S}^n$, $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ or $\mathbb{H}^{n}$ are distinguished manifolds for comparison in bounded Riemannian geometry. In this paper we show that they have the maximum possible…

Following the lines of the celebrated Riemannian result of Gromoll and Meyer, we use infinite dimensional equivariant Morse theory to establish the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct closed geodesics in a class of globally…
The geodesic flow on a finite discrete q-manifold with or without boundary is defined as as a permutation of its ordered q-simplices. This allows to define geodesic sheets and a notion of sectional curvature.

In this work we study the local behavior of geodesics in the neighborhood of a curvature singularity contained in stationary and axially symmetric space-times. Apart from these properties, the metrics we shall focus on will also be required…
A two-dimensional or quasi-two-dimensional nematic liquid crystal refers to a surface confined system. When such a system is further confined by external line boundaries or excluded from internal line boundaries, the nematic directors form…
Let $\mathcal{M}_g$ be the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$ endowed with the Weil-Petersson metric. In this paper, we show that for any $\epsilon>0$, as $g\to \infty$, for a generic surface in $\mathcal{M}_g$, the error term…
We investigate the prime geodesic theorem with an error term dependent on the varying weight and its higher metaplectic coverings in the arithmetic setting, each admitting subconvex refinements despite the softness of our input. The former…
A recent notion of geodesic flows which comes out of noncommutative geometry but which is also novel in the classical case is studied in detail for a Schwarzschild spacetime. In this framework, the geodesic velocity field is an independent…
