A study of triangulations of cycles in the Cayley diagrams of finitely generated groups leads to a new geometric characterization of hyperbolic groups.
In this paper, we find a full description of concircular hypersurfaces in space forms as a special family of ruled hypersurfaces. We also characterize concircular helices in 3-dimensional space forms by means of a differential equation…
It is well-known that the $L^2$ metric on the moduli space of hyperbolic monopoles, defined using the Coulomb gauge-fixing condition, diverges. This article shows that an alternative gauge-fixing condition inspired by supersymmetry cures…
Gradients of the perimeter and area of a polygon have straightforward geometric interpretations. The use of optimality conditions for constrained problems and basic ideas in triangle geometry show that polygons with prescribed area…
We determine the maximal hyperbolic reflection groups associated to the quadratic forms $-3x_0^2 + x_1^2 + ... + x_n^2$, $n \ge 2$, and present the Coxeter schemes of their fundamental polyhedra. These groups exist in dimensions up to 13,…
The function on the Teichmueller space of complete, orientable, finite-area hyperbolic surfaces of a fixed topological type that assigns to a hyperbolic surface its maximal injectivity radius has no local maxima that are not global maxima.
We establish a connection between two previously unrelated topics: a particular discrete version of conformal geometry for triangulated surfaces, and the geometry of ideal polyhedra in hyperbolic three-space. Two triangulated surfaces are…
The 2-body problem on the sphere and hyperbolic space are both real forms of holomorphic Hamiltonian systems defined on the complex sphere. This admits a natural description in terms of biquaternions and allows us to address questions…
A semi-regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane is a tessellation by regular geodesic polygons with the property that each vertex has the same vertex-type, which is a cyclic tuple of integers that determine the number of sides of the polygons…
For a hyperplane $H$ supporting a convex body $C$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^d$ we define the width of $C$ determined by $H$ as the distance between $H$ and a most distant ultraparallel hyperplane supporting $C$. The minimum width…
We discuss geometric properties of covers of closed hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\geq 3$, branched along a totally geodesic codimension two submanifold $\Sigma$. The results are mostly known to the experts but hard to find in the…
We show local and cocycle rigidity for $\R^k \times \Z^l$ partially hyperbolic translation actions on homogeneous spaces $\mc G/ \Lambda$. We consider a large class of actions whose geometric properties are more complicated than previously…
We classify the boundaries of hyperbolic groups that have enough quasiconvex codimension-1 surface subgroups with trivial or cyclic intersections.
Let $f$ be an analytic function on the unit disc which is in the Dirichlet class, so the Euclidean area of the image, counting multiplicity, is finite. The Euclidean length of a radial arc of hyperbolic length $\rho$ is then $o(\rho^1/2)$.…
Crochet models of a hyperbolic plane is a popular educational tool as they help to visualize complicated objets in hyperbolic geometry. We present another way how to make crochet models when we view them as a part of a triangulated…
The symmedian point of a triangle enjoys several geometric and optimality properties, which also serve to define it. We develop a new dynamical coordinatization of the symmedian, which naturally generalizes to other ideal hyperbolic…
It is a longstanding problem to determine the precise relationship between the geodesic length spectrum of a hyperbolic manifold and its commensurability class. A well known result of Reid, for instance, shows that the geodesic length…
For compact Riemann surfaces, the collar theorem and Bers' partition theorem are major tools for working with simple closed geodesics. The main goal of this paper is to prove similar theorems for hyperbolic cone-surfaces. Hyperbolic…
Using combinatorial methods, we derive several formulas for the volume of convex bodies obtained by intersecting a unit hypercube with a halfspace, or with a hyperplane of codimension 1, or with a flat defined by two parallel hyperplanes.…
The Stoker problem, first formulated in 1968, consists in understanding to what extent a convex polyhedron is determined by its dihedral angles. By means of the double construction, this problem is intimately related to rigidity issues for…
