Given a closed Riemannian manifold (M, g), there is a partition \Sigma_i of its tangent bundle TM called the focal decomposition. The sets \Sigma_i are closely associated to focusing of geodesics of (M, g), i.e. to the situation where there…

Given a closed hyperbolic Riemannian surface, the aim of the present paper is to describe an explicit construction of smooth deformations of the hyperbolic metric into Finsler metrics that are not Riemannian and whose properties are such…

We prove a topological rigidity theorem for closed hypersurfaces of the Euclidean sphere and of an elliptic space form. It asserts that, under a lower bound hypothesis on the absolute value of the principal curvatures, the hypersurface is…

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…

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…

A hypersurface without umbilics in the n+1 dimensional Euclidean space is known to be determined by the Moebius metric and the Moebius second fundamental form up to a Moebius transformation when n>2. In this paper we consider Moebius…

We prove that, both in the hyperbolic and spherical 3-spaces, there exist nonconvex compact boundary-free polyhedral surfaces without selfintersections which admit nontrivial continuous deformations preserving all dihedral angles and study…

We consider geometric triangulations of surfaces, i.e., triangulations whose edges can be realized by disjoint locally geodesic segments. We prove that the flip graph of geometric triangulations with fixed vertices of a flat torus or a…

We construct a quasiconformally homogeneous hyperbolic Riemann surface-other than the hyperbolic plane-that does not admit a bounded pants decomposition. Also, given a connected orientable topological surface of infinite type with compact…

We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…

Given a Delaunay decomposition of a compact hyperbolic surface, one may record the topological data of the decomposition, together with the intersection angles between the `empty disks' circumscribing the regions of the decomposition. The…

We prove that a class of weakly partially hyperbolic endomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^2$ are dynamically coherent and leaf conjugate to linear toral endomorphisms. Moreover, we give an example of a partially hyperbolic endomorphism on…

In this paper we study flat deformations of real subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^n$, hyperbolic with respect to a fixed linear subspace, i.e. admitting a finite surjective and real fibered linear projection. We show that the subset of the…

We discuss an alternative approach to the uniformisation problem on surfaces with boundary by representing conformal structures on surfaces $M$ of general type by hyperbolic metrics with boundary curves of constant positive geodesic…

This paper investigates a generalized hyperbolic circle packing (including circles, horocycles or hypercycles) with respect to the total geodesic curvatures on the surface with boundary. We mainly focus on the existence and rigidity of…

We show that the hyperbolic manifold $\mathbb{H}^n/\mathbb{Z}^{n-2}$ is not rigid under all compactly supported deformations that preserve the scalar curvature lower bound $-n(n-1)$, and that it is rigid under deformations that are further…

We show that every orientable infinite-type surface is properly rigid as a consequence of a more general result. Namely, we prove that if a homotopy equivalence between any two non-compact orientable surfaces is a proper map, then it is…

Let $\Delta$ be a hyperbolic triangle with a fixed area $\varphi$. We prove that for all but countably many $\varphi$, generic choices of $\Delta$ have the property that the group generated by the $\pi$--rotations about the midpoints of the…
