In this paper we study the phenomenon of phase transitions for the geodesic flow on some geometrically finite negatively curved manifolds. We define a class of potentials going slowly to zero through the cusps of $M$ for which the pressure…
Let ({\Sigma}, g) be a compact $C^2$ finslerian 3-manifold. If the geodesic flow of g is completely integrable, and the singular set is a tamely-embedded polyhedron, then ${\pi}_1({\Sigma})$ is almost polycyclic. On the other hand, if…
This thesis is concerned with extending the idea of geodesic completeness from pseudo-Riemannian to complex geometry: we take, however a completely holomorphicpoint of view; that is to say, a 'metric' will be a (meromorphic) symmetric…
The Euler equation of an ideal (i.e. inviscid incompressible) fluid can be regarded, following V.Arnold, as the geodesic flow of the right-invariant $L^2$-metric on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the flow domain. In this…
In this paper, we establish the existence of an equidistributed sequence of nondegenerate closed geodesics for generic Finsler, symmetric Finsler and Riemannian metrics on every closed surface. The proof relies on the volume property of…
We introduce a natural subset of the unit tangent bundle of a convex projective manifold, the biproximal unit tangent bundle; it is closed and invariant under the geodesic flow, and we prove that the geodesic flow is topologically mixing on…
The $L^2$-metric or Fubini-Study metric on the non-linear Grassmannian of all submanifolds of type $M$ in a Riemannian manifold $(N,g)$ induces geodesic distance 0. We discuss another metric which involves the mean curvature and shows that…
We study the geodesics on an invariant surface of a three dimensional Riemannian manifold. The main results are: the characterization of geodesic orbits; a Clairaut's relation and its geometric interpretation in some remarkable three…
Suppose we are given a compact Riemannian manifold (Q,g)with completely integrable geodesic flow. Let G be a compact connected Lie group acting freely on Q by isometries. The natural question arises: will the geodesic flow on Q/G equipped…
We prove a universal projection theorem, giving conditions on a parametrized family of maps $\Pi_\lambda : X \to \mathbb{R}^d$ and a collection M of measures on X under which for almost every $\lambda$ equality $\dim_H \Pi_\lambda \mu =…
For a large class of metric spaces with nice local structure, which includes Banach-Finsler manifolds and geodesic spaces of curvature bounded above, we give sufficient conditions for a local homeomorphism to be a covering projection. We…
We establish Marstrand-type projection theorems for orthogonal projections along geodesics onto m-dimensional subspaces of hyperbolic $n$-space by a geometric argument. Moreover, we obtain a Besicovitch-Federer type characterization of…
Let f:\Sigma_1 --> \Sigma_2 be an area preserving diffeomorphism between compact Riemann surfaces of constant curvature. The graph of f can be viewed as a Lagrangian submanifold in \Sigma_1\times \Sigma_2. This article discusses a canonical…
We study the influence of the existence of totally geodesic null hypersurface on the properties of a Lorentzian manifold. By coupling the rigging technique with the existence of a null foliation we prove the existence of a Riemann flow…
Given a mean curvature flow of compact, embedded $C^2$ surfaces satisfying Neumann free boundary condition on a mean convex, smooth support surface in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, we show that it can be extended as long as its mean…
Elementary sub-Riemannian geometry on the Heisenberg group H(n) provides a compact picture of symplectic geometry. Any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on $R^{2n}$ lifts to a volume preserving bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms of H(n), with the use of…
We construct Riemannian manifolds with completely integrable geodesic flows, in particular various nonhomogeneous examples. The methods employed are a modification of Thimm's method, Riemannian submersions and connected sums.
