In this article we prove that the set of torsion-free groups acting by isometries on a hyperbolic metric space whose entropy is bounded above and with a compact quotient is finite. The number of such groups can be estimated in terms of the…

Structural relaxation times and viscosities for non-associated liquids and polymers are a unique function of the product of temperature, T, times specific volume, V, with the latter raised to a constant, g_tau. Similarly, for both neat…

The trace over the degrees of freedom located in a subset of the space transforms the vacuum state into a density matrix with non zero entropy. This geometric entropy is believed to be deeply related to the entropy of black holes. Indeed,…

This paper is a review on recently found connection between geodesically equivalent metrics and integrable geodesic flows. Suppose two different metrics on one manifold have the same geodesics. We show that then the geodesic flows of these…

For any $C^\infty$, area-preserving Anosov diffeomorphism $f$ of a surface, we show that a suspension flow over $f$ is $C^\infty$-conjugate to a constant-time suspension flow of a hyperbolic automorphism of the two torus if and only if the…
