Let $S$ be a surface of nonpositive curvature of genus bigger than 1 (i.e. not the torus). We prove that any flat strip in the surface is in fact a flat cylinder. Moreover we prove that the number of homotopy classes of such flat cylinders…
This preliminary report contains a sketch of the proof of the following result: a slowly divergent Teichmuller geodesic satisfying a certain logarithmic law is determined by a uniquely ergodic measured foliation.
We prove that the Birkhoff pointwise ergodic theorem and the Oseledets multiplicative ergodic theorem hold for every flat surface in almost every direction. The proofs rely on the strong law of large numbers, and on recent rigidity results…
Following recent work of T. Alazard and C. Shao on applications of para-differential calculus to smooth conjugacy and stability problems for Hamiltonian systems, we prove finite codimension stability of invariant surfaces (in finite…
For manifolds with geodesic flow that is ergodic on the unit tangent bundle, the quantum ergodicity theorem implies that almost all Laplacian eigenfunctions become equidistributed as the eigenvalue goes to infinity. For a locally symmetric…
We prove ergodicity in a class of skew-product extensions of interval exchange transformations given by cocycles with logarithmic singularities. This, in particular, gives explicit examples of ergodic $\mathbb{R}$-extensions of minimal…
We give explicit pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi invariant. Any translation surface whose Veech group is commensurable to any of a large class of triangle groups is shown to have an affine pseudo-Anosov…
An ant-like observer confined to a two-dimensional surface traversed by stripes would wonder whether this striped landscape could be devised in such a way as to appear to be the same wherever they go. Differently stated, this is the problem…
We study flute surfaces and extend results of Pandazis and \v{S}ari\'c giving necessary and sufficient conditions on the Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates of the surface to be of the first kind. As a consequence of the first result, we…
On the unit tangent bundle of a nonflat compact nonpositively curved surface, we prove that there is a unique probability Borel measure invariant by a horocyclic flow which gives full measure to the set of rank $1$ vectors recurrent by the…
We show that on any translation surface, if a regular point is contained in a simple closed geodesic, then it is contained in infinitely many simple closed geodesics, whose directions are dense in the unit circle. Moreover, the set of…
We consider volume-preserving flows $(\Phi^f_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ on $S\times \mathbb{R}$, where $S$ is a closed connected surface of genus $g\geq 2$ and $(\Phi^f_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ has the form $\Phi^f_t(x,y)=(\phi_tx,y+\int_0^t…
Let M be a translation surface. We show that certain deformations of M supported on the set of all cylinders in a given direction remain in the GL(2,R)-orbit closure of M. Applications are given concerning complete periodicity, field of…
Suppose $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $\Lambda\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is a finite union of translated lattices such that $f+\Lambda$ tiles with a weight. We prove that there exists a lattice $L\subset{\mathbb{R}}^d$ such that $f+L$ also tiles,…
We give general conditions to produce endperiodic homeomorphisms that act loxodromically on various arc graphs of infinite-type surfaces.
We prove effective equidistribution of non-closed horocycles in the unit tangent bundle of infinite-volume geometrically finite hyperbolic surfaces.
In this paper The Ergodic Hypothesis is proven for one class of functions defined in the infinite dimensional unite cube where is given an action of some semigroup of mappings without the condition on metric transitivity. The result has not…
A periodic surface is one that is invariant by a 2D lattice of translations. Deformation modes that stretch the lattice without stretching the surface are effective membrane modes. Deformation modes that bend the lattice without stretching…
We show that any infinite-type surface without planar ends admits arbitrarily large families of length isospectral hyperbolic structures. If the surface has infinite genus and its space of ends is self-similar, we construct an uncountable…
We show how the rotation and translation fields of a surface, introduced by G. Darboux, may be used to obtain short proofs of a well-known theorem (that reads that the total mean curvature of a surface is stationary under an infinitesimal…
