A Riemannian manifold is said to be uniformly secure if there is a finite number $s$ such that all geodesics connecting an arbitrary pair of points in the manifold can be blocked by $s$ point obstacles. We prove that the number of geodesics…

In this article, we construct a new para-K\"ahler structure $({\mathcal G},{\mathcal J},\Omega)$ in the space of oriented geodesics ${\mathbb L}(M)$ in a non-flat, real space form $M$. We first show that the para-K\"ahler metric ${\mathcal…

This note proves that any locally extremal non-self-conjugate geodesic loop in a Riemannian manifold is a closed geodesic. As a consequence, any complete and non-contractible Riemannian manifold with diverging injectivity radii along…

Geodesics become an essential element of the geometry of a semi-Riemannian manifold. In fact, their differences and similarities with the (positive definite) Riemannian case, constitute the first step to understand semi-Riemannian Geometry.…

In this paper we show that on a complete Riemannian manifold of negative curvature and dimension $n>1$ every two points which realize a local maximum for the distance function are connected by at least $2n+1$ geometrically distinct geodesic…

In this paper, we establish a "pseudo-effective" version of the holonomy principle for compact K\"{a}hler manifolds with nonnegative holomorphic sectional curvature. As applications, we prove that if a compact complex manifold $M$ admits a…

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…

We prove that on closed Riemannian manifolds with infinite abelian, but not cyclic, fundamental group, any isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. We conjecture that the result remains true…

For a closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ with compatible Riemannian metric $g$ we study the Sobolev $H^1$ geometry of the group of all $H^s$ diffeomorphisms on $M$ which preserve the symplectic structure. We show that, for sufficiently…

We solve the geodesic equation in the space of K\"ahler metrics under the setting of asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) K\"ahler manifolds and we prove global $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$ regularity of the solution. Then, we relate the solution…

Four dimensional simply connected Lie groups admitting a pseudo K\"ahler metric are determined. The corresponding Lie algebras are modelized and the compatible pairs $(J,\omega)$ are parametrized up to complex isomorphism (where $J$ is a…

We study deformations of complex hyperbolic surfaces which furnish the simplest examples of: (i) negatively curved K\"ahler manifolds and (ii) negatively curved Riemannian manifolds not having {\it constant} curvature. Although such complex…

The possible omega limit sets of simple geodesics for meromorphic connections on compact Riemann surfaces have been studied by Abate, Tovena and Bianchi. In this paper, we study the same problem for infinite self-intersecting geodesics. In…

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…

In the first part, Hyperkaehler Embeddings and Holomorphic symplectic Geometry I, we prove the following. Let $N$ be a closed analytic subvariety of a generic deformation of a holomorphically symplectic compact manifold $M$. Then the…

We study the geodesic orbit property for nilpotent Lie groups $N$ when endowed with a pseudo-Riemannian left-invariant metric. We consider this property with respect to different groups acting by isometries. When $N$ acts on itself by…

We show that on smooth minimal surfaces of general type, the K\"ahler-Ricci flow starting at any initial K\"ahler metric converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a K\"ahler-Einstein orbifold surface. In particular, the diameter of the…

We continue our study of the space of geodesics of a manifold with linear connection. We obtain sufficient conditions for a product to have a space of geodesics which is a manifold. We investigate the relationship of the space of geodesics…

In this note we show that for any hyperbolic surface S, the number of geodesics of length bounded above by L in the mapping class group orbit of a fixed closed geodesic with a single double point is asymptotic to L raised to the dimension…

In the paper we consider pseudo bihermitian structures - a pair of complex structures compatible with a pseudo Riemannian metric. As in the positive definite case we establish its relations with generalized (pseudo) Kaehler geometry and…
