A Moebius structure (on a set X) is a class of metrics having the same cross-ratios. A Moebius structure is ptolemaic if it is invariant under inversion operations. The boundary at infinity of a CAT(-1) space is in a natural way a Moebius…

We characterize the class of Gromov hyperbolic spaces, whose boundary at infinity allow canonical M\"obius structures.

We give a solution to the inverse problem of Moebius geometry on the circle. Namely, we describe a class of Moebius structures on the circle for each of which there is a hyperbolic space such that its boundary at infinity is the circle, and…

We introduce a notion of a sub-Moebius structure and find necessary and sufficient conditions under which a sub-Moebius structure is a Moebius structure. We show that on the boundary at infinity of every Gromov hyperbolic space Y there is a…

We prove that a compact Ptolemy space with many strong inversions that contains a Ptolemy circle is Moebius equivalent to an extended Euclidean space.

We characterize the boundary at infinity of a complex hyperbolic space as a compact Ptolemy space that satisfies four incidence axioms.

Any (boundary continuous) hyperbolic space induces on the boundary at infinity a Moebius structure which reflects most essential asymptotic properties of the space. In this paper, we initiate the study of the inverse problem: describe…

Hyperbolic fillings of metric spaces are a well-known tool for proving results on extending quasi-Moebius maps between boundaries of Gromov hyperbolic spaces to quasi-isometries between the spaces. For CAT(-1) spaces, and more generally…

Contrary to the finite-dimensional case, the Moebius group admits interesting self-representations when infinite-dimensional. We construct and classify all these self-representations. The proofs are obtained in the equivalent setting of…

We present a basic introduction to the theories of M\"obius structures and hyperbolic ends and we study their applications to the theory of $k$-surfaces in $3$-dimensional hyperbolic space.

We prove that the Koebe circle domain conjecture is equivalent to the Weyl type problem that every complete hyperbolic surface of genus zero is isometric to the boundary of the hyperbolic convex hull of the complement of a circle domain. It…

We consider a Lorentzian analogue of the Ptolemy inequality and we prove that in the setting of globally hyperbolic spacetimes it is equivalent to a global timelike sectional curvature bound from above by zero. We investigate the link…

We study the compactness problem for moduli spaces of holomorphic supercurves which, being motivated by supergeometry, are perturbed such as to allow for transversality. We give an explicit construction of limiting objects for sequences of…

We discuss a conjectural duality between hyperbolic spaces on one hand and spacetimes on the other hand, living on the opposite sides of the common absolute. This duality goes via M\"obius structures on the absolute, and it is easily…

In arXiv math.MG/0207296 we introduced a product construction for locally compact, complete, geodesic hyperbolic metric spaces. In the present paper we define the hyperbolic product for general Gromov-hyperbolic spaces. In the case of…

We introduce the moduli space of marked, complete, Nielsen-convex hyperbolic structures on a surface of negative, but not necessarily finite, Euler characteristic. The emphasis is on infinite type surfaces, the aim being to study mapping…

We introduce the notion of topological hyperbolicity to characterize the largeness of the topological fundamental group of a complex variety. Inspired by the Shafarevich conjecture, we propose to study the topological hyperbolicity of…

This survey/expository article covers a variety of topics related to the "topology at infinity" of noncompact manifolds and complexes. In manifold topology and geometric group theory, the most important noncompact spaces are often…

The boundary $\partial X$ of a boundary continuous Gromov hyperbolic space $X$ carries a natural Moebius structure on the boundary. For a proper, geodesically complete, boundary continuous Gromov hyperbolic space $X$, the boundary $\partial…

We introduce the concept of boundary rigidity for Gromov hyperbolic spaces. We show that a proper geodesic Gromov hyperbolic space with a pole is boundary rigid if and only if its Gromov boundary is uniformly perfect. As an application, we…
