In this paper, we first evaluate topological distributions of the sets of all doubling spaces, all uniformly disconnected spaces, and all uniformly perfect spaces in the space of all isometry classes of compact metric spaces equipped with…
The goal of this paper is to study two basic problems of hyperbolic geometry. The first problem is to compare the hyperbolic and Euclidean distances. The second problem is to find hyperbolic counterparts of some basic geometric…
This is the second in a series of papers where we estab- lish skin structural concepts and results for singular area minimizing hypersurfaces. Here we conformally unfold these spaces to complete Gromov hyperbolic spaces with bounded…
The Helfrich model is a fundamental tool for determining the morphology of biological membranes. We relate the geometry of an important class of its equilibria to the geometry of sessile and pendant drops in the hyperbolic space ${\bf…
In this paper we give an local estimate for the Kobayashi distance on a bounded convex domain of finite type, which relates to a local pseudodistance near the boundary. The estimate is precise up to a bounded additive term. Also we conclude…
We first give an exposition on holomorphic isometries from the Poincar\'e disk to polydisks and from the Poincar\'e disk to the product of the Poincar\'e disk with a complex unit ball. As an application, we provide an example of proper…
We compare the volume of a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ of finite volume and the complexity of its fundamental group.
In this paper, we prove that (1) For any integers $n\geq 1$ and $g\geq 2$, there is a closed 3-manifold $M_{g}^{n}$ which admits a distance $n$ Heegaard splitting of genus $g$ except that the pair of $(g, n)$ is $(2, 1)$. Furthermore,…
Suppose G is a Gromov hyperbolic group, and the boundary at infinity of G is quasisymmetrically homeomorphic to an Ahlfors Q-regular metric 2-sphere Z with Ahlfors regular conformal dimension Q. Then G acts discretely, cocompactly, and…
Given a pair of points in the hyperbolic half plane or the unit disk, we provide a simple construction of the midpoint of the hyperbolic geodesic segment joining the points.
The hyperbolic metric for the punctured unit disc in the Euclidean plane is singular at the origin. A renormalization of the metric at the origin is provided by the Euclidean metric. For Riemann surfaces there is a unique germ for the…
A new metric on the open 2-dimensional unit disk is defined making it a geodesically complete metric space whose geodesic lines are precisely the Euclidean straight lines. Moreover, it is shown that the unit disk with this new metric is not…
The equivariant Gromov--Hausdorff convergence of metric spaces is studied. Where all isometry groups under consideration are compact Lie, it is shown that an upper bound on the dimension of the group guarantees that the convergence is by…
In this paper, it is shown that every point in the hyperbolic 3-space is moved at a distance at least $0.5\log\left(12\cdot 3^{k-1}-3\right)$ by one of the isometries of length at most $k\geq 2$ in a 2-generator Klenian group $\Gamma$ which…
It is proved that the Gromov-Hausdorff metric on the space of compact metric spaces considered up to an isometry is strictly intrinsic, i.e., the corresponding metric space is geodesic. In other words, each two points of this space (each…
Markov's theorem classifies the worst irrational numbers with respect to rational approximation and the indefinite binary quadratic forms whose values for integer arguments stay farthest away from zero. The main purpose of this paper is to…
We derive new estimates for distances between optimal matchings of eigenvalues of non-normal matrices in terms of the norm of their difference. We introduce and estimate a hyperbolic metric analogue of the classical spectral-variation…
Let X be an arbitrary hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let G be a countable non-elementary weakly acylindrical group of isometries of X. We show that the second bounded cohomology group of G with real coefficients or with coefficients…
We investigate the geometry of the graphs of nonseparating curves for surfaces of finite positive genus with potentially infinitely many punctures. This graph has infinite diameter and is known to be Gromov hyperbolic by work of the author.…
For a Heegaard surface F in a closed orientable 3-manifold M, H(M,F) = Diff(M)/Diff(M,F) is the space of Heegaard surfaces equivalent to the Heegaard splitting (M,F). Its path components are the isotopy classes of Heegaard splittings…
