We investigate intersections of geodesic lines in $H^2$ and in an associated tree T, proving the following result. Let M be a punctured hyperbolic torus and let $\gamma$ be a closed geodesic in M. Any edge of any triangle formed by distinct…

In this article, we consider `$N$'spherical caps of area $4\pi p$ were uniformly distributed over the surface of a unit sphere. We study the random intersection graph $G_N$ constructed by these caps. We prove that for $p =…

We consider a random Gaussian ensemble of Laplace eigenfunctions on the 3D torus, and investigate the 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure (`length') of nodal intersections against a smooth 2-dimensional toral sub-manifold (`surface'). The…

Let $Y$ be a hyperbolic surface and let $\phi$ be a Laplacian eigenfunction having eigenvalue $-1/4-\tau^2$ with $\tau>0$. Let $N(\phi)$ be the set of nodal lines of $\phi$. For a fixed analytic curve $\gamma$ of finite length, we study the…

On a surface with a Finsler metric, we investigate the asymptotic growth of the number of closed geodesics of length less than $L$ which minimize length among all geodesic multicurves in the same homology class. An important class of…

Let $G$ be a group. The intersection graph of subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\mathscr{I}(G)$, is a graph with all the proper subgroups of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices in $\mathscr{I}(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the…

We first prove that, for $\kappa\in(0,4)$, a whole-plane SLE$(\kappa;\kappa+2)$ trace stopped at a fixed capacity time satisfies reversibility. We then use this reversibility result to prove that, for $\kappa\in(0,4)$, a chordal…

We consider geodesics for first passage percolation (FPP) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with iid passage times. As has been common in the literature, we assume that the FPP system satisfies certain basic properties conjectured to be true, and derive…

Let $(M,d)$ be a separable and complete geodesic space with curvature lower bounded, by $\kappa\in \mathbb R$, in the sense of Alexandrov. Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure on $M$, such that $\mu\in\mathcal P_2(M)$, and that has at…

This paper explores the relationship between closed curves on surfaces and their intersections. Like Dehn-Thurston coordinates for simple curves, we explore how to determine closed curves using the number of times they intersect other…

In this paper we show that dynamical and counting results characteristic of negatively-curved Riemannian geometry, or more generally CAT(-1) or rank-one CAT(0) spaces, also hold for geometrically-finite strictly convex projective structures…

There are no known efficient algorithms to calculate distance in the one-skeleta of associahedra, a problem that is equivalent to finding rotation distance between rooted binary trees or the flip distance between polygonal triangulations.…

The vector space $\V$ generated by the conjugacy classes in the fundamental group of an orientable surface has a natural Lie cobracket $\map{\delta}{\V}{\V\times \V}$. For negatively curved surfaces, $\delta$ can be computed from a geodesic…

We discuss $\beta$-deformed geometries on two types of $T^3$'s where the direction along the third coordinate is not orthogonal to the direction along the second coordinate or the direction along the first coordinate. We show that the…

We study the geometric and combinatorial effect of smoothing an intersection point in a collection of arcs or curves on a surface. We prove that all taut arcs with fixed endpoints and all taut 1-manifolds with at least two non-disjoint…
