This article considers inverse problems on closed Riemannian surfaces whose geodesic flow is Anosov. We prove spectral rigidity for any Anosov surface and injectivity of the geodesic ray transform on solenoidal 2-tensors. We also establish…

We prove that there exists an open and dense subset of the incompressible 3-flows of class C^2 such that, if a flow in this set has a positive volume regular invariant subset with dominated splitting for the linear Poincar\'e flow, then it…

We classify quasiconformal Anosov flows whose strong stable and unstable distributions are at least two dimensional and the sum of these two distributions is smooth. We deduce from this classification result the complete classification of…

The goal of this paper is to explore the relationship between the geometric properties of an Anosov flow on a closed manifold $M$ and the analytic properties of its infinitesimal generator $X$ as a linear operator on the space of smooth…

In this paper we provide a combinatorial tool to help study some topological properties of modular knots. We construct templates for the infinitely many Anosov flows on the trefoil complement, which are lifts of the geodesic flow on the…

We associate a flow $\phi$ to a solution of the vortex equations on a closed oriented Riemannian 2-manifold $(M,g)$ of negative Euler characteristic and investigate its properties. We show that $\phi$ always admits a dominated splitting and…

This paper is an exposition of the major results of P. Eberlein's paper, "When is a geodesic flow of Anosov type? I," in the special case when the manifold $M$ is a surface. We follow Eberlein's coverage closely, adding details when…

We present a new paradigm for three dimensional chaos, and specifically for the Lorenz equations. The main difficulty in these equations and for a generic flow in dimension three is the existence of singularities. We show how to use knot…

In earlier work, relying on work of Agol-Gu\'eritaud and Landry-Minsky-Taylor, we showed that given a pseudo-Anosov flow $(Y,\phi)$ and a collection of closed orbits $\mathcal{C}$ satisfying the `no perfect fit' condition, one can construct…

In this paper, we prove Ruelle's inequality for the geodesic flow in non-compact manifolds with Anosov geodesic flow and some assumptions on the curvature. In the same way, we obtain Pesin's formula for Anosov geodesic flow in non-compact…

We make a first step towards connecting the theory of veering triangulations and bicontact structures as tools for studying (pseudo-)Anosov flows: We show that given a veering triangulation corresponding to an Anosov flow with orientable…

We know from previous work with Italiano and Migliorini that there exists some hyperbolic 5-manifold that fibers over the circle. Here we build one example where the monodromy is a "pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism" of the 4-dimensional fiber,…

In this paper, we prove that if the geodesic flow of a complete manifold without conjugate points with sectional curvatures bounded below by $-c^2$ is of Anosov type, then the constant of contraction of the flow is $\geq e^{-c}$. Moreover,…

Let $(M, \xi)$ be a compact contact 3-manifold and assume that there exists a contact form $\alpha_0$ on $(M, \xi)$ whose Reeb flow is Anosov. We show this implies that every Reeb flow on $(M, \xi)$ has positive topological entropy. Our…

We prove that every sectional Anosov flow (or, equivalently, every sectional-hyperbolic attracting set of a flow) on a compact manifold has a periodic orbit. This extends the previous three-dimensional result obtained in [Existence of…

A pseudo-Anosov flow is said to have perfect fits if there are stable and unstable leaves that are asymptotic in the universal cover. We give an algorithm to decide, given a box decomposition of a pseudo-Anosov flow, if the flow has perfect…

We bring to light a new connection between dynamics and Heegaard Floer homology. On a closed 3-manifold $Y$ we consider a pseudo-Anosov flow $\phi$ with no perfect fits with respect to its singularity locus $L \subset Y$, or perhaps a…
