We study basic properties of flow equivalence on one-dimensional compact metric spaces with a particular emphasis on isotopy in the group of (self-) flow equivalences on such a space. In particular, we show that an orbit-preserving such map…

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…

For $\mathcal{O}$ a hyperbolic orientable 2-orbifold of genus $g$ with at most $2g+6$ conic points, we prove that the geodesic flow on the unitary tangent bundle$\mathrm{T}^1\mathcal{O}$ admits a Birkhoff section whose genus is one.…

If a group $\Gamma$ acts geometrically on a CAT(0) space $X$ without 3-flats, then either $X$ contains a $\Gamma$-periodic geodesic which does not bound a flat half-plane, or else $X$ is a rank 2 Riemannian symmetric space, a 2-dimensional…

We give a new proof of the Baum--Connes conjecture with coefficients for any second countable, locally compact topological group that acts properly and cocompactly on a finite-dimensional CAT(0)-cubical space with bounded geometry. The…

We show that the geodesic flow and the exponential map of a $C^k$ submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $k\geq 2$ are of class $C^{k-1}$.

We show that the universal minimimal proximal flow and the universal minimal strongly proximal flow of a discrete group can be realized as the Stone spaces of translation invariant Boolean algebras of subsets of the group satisfying a…

In a seminal paper, Stallings introduced folding of morphisms of graphs. One consequence of folding is the representation of finitely-generated subgroups of a finite-rank free group as immersions of finite graphs. Stallings's methods allow…

We study the twisted Ruelle zeta function $\zeta_X(s)$ for smooth Anosov vector fields $X$ acting on flat vector bundles over smooth compact manifolds. In dimension $3$, we prove Fried conjecture, relating Reidemeister torsion and…

We study expansive properties for the geodesic and horocycle flows on compact Riemann surfaces of constant negative curvature. It is well-known that the geodesic flow is expansive in the sense of Bowen-Walters and the horocycle flow is…

We propose that the broad architecture of the renormalization group flow in quantum field theories is, at least in part, fixed by unitarity. The precise statement is summarized in the Unitarity Flow Conjecture, which states that the…

In the unit tangent bundle of noncompact finite volume negatively curved Riemannian manifolds, we prove the equidistribution towards the measure of maximal entropy for the geodesic flow of the Lebesgue measure along the divergent geodesic…

Two Riemannian manifolds are said to have $C^k$-conjugate geodesic flows if there exist an $C^k$ diffeomorphism between their unit tangent bundles which intertwines the geodesic flows. We obtain a number of rigidity results for the geodesic…

We introduce a new approach to prove the global existence and uniqueness of suitable weak solutions of the heat flow of harmonic mappings into CAT(0) metric spaces. Our method allows also to prove Lipschitz continuity in spatial variables…

We consider the inverse mean curvature flow in smooth Riemannian manifolds of the form $([R_{0},\infty)\times S^n,\bar{g})$ with metric $\bar{g}=dr^2+{\vartheta}^2(r){\sigma}$ and non-positive radial sectional curvature. We prove, that for…

We prove that in CAT(0) spaces a quasi-geodesic is Morse if and only if it is contracting. Specifically, in our main theorem we prove that for $\gamma$ a quasi-geodesic in a CAT(0) space X, the following four statements are equivalent: (i)…

This belongs to a series of papers motivated by Ballmann's Higher Rank Rigidity Conjecture. We prove the following. Let $X$ be a CAT(0) space with a geometric group action. Suppose that every geodesic in $X$ lies in an $n$-flat, $n\geq 2$.…

We show that for every non-elementary hyperbolic group, an associated topological flow space admits a coding based on a transitive subshift of finite type. Applications include regularity results for Manhattan curves, the uniqueness of…

We construct cross sections for the geodesic flow on the orbifolds $\Gamma\backslash H$ which are tailor-made for the requirements of transfer operator approaches to Maass cusp forms and Selberg zeta functions. Here, $H$ denotes the…
