Geodesics and curvature of semidirect product groups with right invariant metrics are determined. In the special case of an isometric semidirect product, the curvature is shown to be the sum of the curvature of the two groups. A series of…

We show that the length function of a measured geodesic lamination is convex in Thurston's shear coordinates over Teichm\"uller space and strictly convex for generic laminations. We give some consequences of this result in the context of…

In this note we show that in metric measure spaces satisfying the reduced curvature-dimension condition CD*(K,N) we always have geodesics in the Wasserstein space of probability measures that satisfy the critical convexity inequality of…

Geometric models and Teichm\"uller structures have been introduced for the space of smooth expanding circle endomorphisms and for the space of uniformly symmetric circle endomorphisms. The latter one is the completion of the previous one…

It is known that every finitely unbranched covering $\alpha:\widetilde{S}_{g(\alpha)}\rightarrow S$ of a compact Riemann surface $S$ with genus $g\geq2$ induces an isometric embedding $\Gamma_{\alpha}$ from the Teichm\"uller space $T(S)$ to…

The main goal of the paper is to address the issue of the existence of Kempf's distortion function and the Tian-Yau-Zelditch (TYZ) asymptotic expansion for the Kepler manifold - an important example of non compact manfold. Motivated by the…

Through the study of some elliptic and parabolic fully nonlinear PDEs, we establish conformal versions of quermassintegral inequality, the Sobolev inequality and the Moser-Trudinger inequality for the geometric quantities associated to the…

We construct a new Riemannian metric on Goldman space $\mathcal{B}(S)$, the space of the equivalence classes of convex projective structures on the surface $S$, and then prove the new metric, as well as the metric of Darvishzadeh and…

It is shown that conventional "covariant" derivative of the Levi-Civita tensor is not really covariant. Adding compensative terms, it is possible to make it covariant and to be equal to zero. Then one can be introduced a curvature in the…

We argue that the minimal length discretization generalizing the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, in which the gravitational impacts on the non--commutation relations are thoughtfully taken into account, radically modifies the spacetime…

We introduce a function model for the Teichm\"uller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann surface. Then we introduce a new metric by using the maximum norm on the function space on the Teichm\"uller space. We prove that the identity map from…

We highlight several analogies between the Finsler (infinitesimal) properties of Teichm\"uller's metric and Thurston's asymmetric metric on Teichm\"uller space. Thurston defined his asymmetric metric in analogy with Teichm\"ullers' metric,…
