This article is concerned with the question of whether an energy bound implies a genus bound for pseudo-holomorphic curves in almost complex manifolds. After reviewing what is known in dimensions other than 6, we establish a new result in…

Suppose G is a Gromov hyperbolic group, and the boundary at infinity of G is quasisymmetrically homeomorphic to an Ahlfors Q-regular metric 2-sphere Z with Ahlfors regular conformal dimension Q. Then G acts discretely, cocompactly, and…

We prove that a sequence of holomorphic discs with totally real boundary conditions has a subsequence that Gromov converges to a stable holomorphic map of genus zero with connected boundary provided that the sequence is bounded and has…

We highlight a condition, the approaching geodesics property, on a proper geodesic Gromov hyperbolic metric space, which implies that the horofunction compactification is topologically equivalent to the Gromov compactification. It is known…

We show that every bounded domain $D$ in $\mathbb R^n$ with smooth $p$-convex boundary for $2\le p < n$ admits a smooth defining function $\rho$ which is $p$-plurisubharmonic on $\overline D$; if in addition $bD$ has no $p$-flat points then…

In this paper we prove that every quasi-projective base space $V$ of smooth family of minimal projective manifolds with maximal variation is pseudo Kobayashi hyperbolic, i.e. $V$ is Kobayashi hyperbolic modulo a proper subvariety…

We show that a one-ended simply connected at infinity hyperbolic group $G$ with enough codimension-1 surface subgroups has $\partial G \cong \mathbb{S}^2$. Combined with a result of Markovic, our result gives a new characterization of…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary complex surface and $D \subset X$ a domain that has a non compact group of holomorphic automorphisms. A characterization of those domains $D$ that admit a smooth real analytic, finite type boundary orbit accumulation…

Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. For each hyperbolic metric $g$ on $M$ such that $\dr M$ is smooth and strictly convex, the induced metric on $\dr M$…

We characterize those 1-ended word hyperbolic groups whose Gromov boundaries are homeomorphic to trees of graphs (i.e. to inverse limits of graphs that have particularly simple finitary descriptions). These are groups with the simplest…

We show that in a bounded Gromov hyperbolic domain $\Omega$ smooth functions with bounded derivatives $C^\infty(\Omega)\cap W^{k,\infty}(\Omega)$ are dense in the homogeneous Sobolev spaces $L^{k,p}(\Omega)$.

Let M be a compact hyperbolic manifold with totally geodesic boundary. If the injectivity radius of the boundary is larger than an explicit function of the normal injectivity radius of the boundary, we show that there is a negatively curved…

We introduce the notion of locally visible and locally Gromov hyperbolic domains in $\mathbb C^d$. We prove that a bounded domain in $\mathbb C^d$ is locally visible and locally Gromov hyperbolic if and only if it is (globally) visible and…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group. Cashen and Mackay proved that if the contracting boundary of $G$ with the topology of fellow travelling quasi-geodesics is compact then $G$ is a hyperbolic group. Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a finite…

Given a compact surface $\Sigma$ with boundary and a relation $\Gamma$ on $\pi_0(\partial\Sigma)$, we define the prescribed arc graph $\mathscr A(\Sigma,\Gamma)$ to be the full subgraph of the arc graph $\mathscr A(\Sigma)$ containing only…

Given a smooth compact hypersurface $M$ with boundary $\Sigma=\partial M$, we prove the existence of a sequence $M_j$ of hypersurfaces with the same boundary as $M$, such that each Steklov eigenvalue $\sigma_k(M_j)$ tends to zero as $j$…

Let $X$ be a proper CAT(0) space and let $G$ be a cocompact group of isometries of $X$ which acts properly discontinuously. Charney and Sultan constructed a quasi-isometry invariant boundary for proper CAT(0) spaces which they called the…

A hyperbolic group acts by homeomorphisms on its Gromov boundary. We show that if this boundary is a topological n-sphere the action is topologically stable in the dynamical sense: any nearby action is semi-conjugate to the standard…

We show the existence of a thick thin decomposition of the domain of a pseudo holomorphic curve with boundary. The geometry of the thick part is bounded uniformly in the energy. Furthermore, in the thick part, there is a uniform bound on…

By a geodesic subspace of a metric space $X$ we mean a subset $A$ of $X$ such that any two points in $A$ can be connected by a geodesic in $A$. It is easy to check that a geodesic metric space $X$ is an $\mathbb{R}$-tree (that is, a…
