In [Mor], we have introduced a notion of flat laminations on surfaces endowed with a flat structure, similar to geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces. Here is a sequel to this article that aims at defining transversal measures on flat…

Let $f$ be a rational map of degree $d\geq 2$. The moduli space $\mathcal{M}_f$, introduced by McMullen and Sullivan, is a complex analytic space consisting all quasiconformal conjugacy classes of $f$. For $f$ that is not flexible Latt\`es,…

We generalize the notion of tight geodesics in the curve complex to tight trees. We then use tight trees to construct model geometries for certain surface bundles over graphs. This extends some aspects of the combinatorial model for doubly…

We study the behavior of hyperbolic affine automorphisms of a translation surface which is infinite in area and genus that is obtained as a limit of surfaces built from regular polygons studied by Veech. We find that hyperbolic affine…

We study affine Jacobi structures on an affine bundle $\pi:A\to M$, i.e. Jacobi brackets that close on affine functions. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between affine Jacobi structures on $A$ and Lie algebroid structures…

In this note we show that the regular part of the natural extension (in the sense of Lyubich and Minsky) of quadratic map $f(z) = e^{2 \pi i \theta}z + z^2$ with irrational $\theta$ of bounded type has only parabolic leaves except the…

Our aim here is to investigate the holomorphic geometric structures on compact complex manifolds which may not be K\"ahler. We prove that holomorphic geometric structures of affine type on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds with polystable…

We consider a compact manifold $(M,\mathfrak{F})$ with a foliation $\mathfrak{F}$, and a smooth affine connection $\nabla$ on the tangent bundle of the foliation $T\mathfrak{F}$. We introduce and study a foliated completeness problem.…

In this article we show that for every collection $\mathcal{C}$ of an even number of polynomials, all of the same degree $d>2$ and in general position, there exist two hyperbolic $3$-orbifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$ with a M\"obius morphism…

A well-known class of questions asks the following: If $X$ and $Y$ are metric measure spaces and $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is a Lipschitz mapping whose image has positive measure, then must $f$ have large pieces on which it is bi-Lipschitz?…

In several contexts the defining invariant structures of a hyperbolic dynamical system are smooth only in systems of algebraic origin (smooth rigidity), and we prove new results of this type for a class of flows. For a compact Riemannian…

In this paper, we study a notion of hyperbolicity for hyperbolicity foliations with 1-dimensional parabolic leaves, namely the non-existence of holomorphic cylinders along the foliation - holomorphic maps from $\D^{n-1} \times \C$ to the…

We expose a connection between distance minimizing laminations and horospherical orbit closures in $\mathbb{Z}$-covers of compact hyperbolic manifolds. For surfaces, we provide novel constructions of $\mathbb{Z}$-covers with prescribed…

Some results related to the causality of compact Lorentzian manifolds are proven: (1) any compact Lorentzian manifold which admits a timelike conformal vector field is totally vicious, and (2) a compact Lorentzian manifold covered regularly…

Let M_0^R be the moduli space of smooth real cubic surfaces. We show that each of its components admits a real hyperbolic structure. More precisely, one can remove some lower-dimensional geodesic subspaces from a real hyperbolic space H^4…

The main aim of this paper is the description of a large class of lattices in some nilpotent Lie groups, sometimes filiformes, carrying a flat left invariant linear connection anf often a left invariant symplectic form. As a consequence we…

For each prime $p$, this paper constructs compact complex hyperbolic $2$-manifolds with an isometric action of $\mathbb{Z} / p \mathbb{Z}$ that is not free and has only isolated fixed points. The case $p = 2$ is special, and finding general…

We call a foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on a compact manifold infinitesimally rigid if its deformation cohomology $H^{1}(\mathcal{F},N\mathcal{F})$ vanishes. This paper studies infinitesimal rigidity for a distinguished class of Riemannian…

This is an outline of work in progress concerning an algebro-geometric form of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture. We introduce a limited type of degeneration of Calabi-Yau manifolds, which we call toric degenerations. For these, the…

Previously, we have systematically constructed explicit real algebraic functions which are represented as the compositions of smooth real algebraic maps whose images are domains surrounded by hypersurfaces of degree 1 or 2 with canonical…
