The purpose of this note is to discuss examples of geometric transition from hyperbolic structures to half-pipe and Anti-de Sitter structures in dimensions two, three and four. As a warm-up, explicit examples of transition to Euclidean and…
This work is intended to investigate the geometry of anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS), from the point of view of the Laplacian Comparison Theorem (LCT), and to give another description of the hyperbolical embedding standard formalism of the…
We discuss the geometry of three-dimensional warped Anti-de Sitter spaces and quotients thereof, paying special attention to their underlying group manifold nature. We perform a systematic analysis of warped Anti-de Sitter geometries,…
We consider hyperbolic and anti-de Sitter (AdS) structures on $M\times (0,1)$, where $M$ is a $d$-dimensional Gromov-Thurston manifold. If $M$ has cone angles greater than $2\pi$, we show that there exists a "quasifuchsian" (globally…
We provide a geometric transformation on null curves in the anti-de Sitter 3-space (AdS) which induces the B\"acklund transformation for the KdV equation. In addition, we show that this geometric transformation satisfies a suitable…
In this paper we describe trigonometry on the de Sitter surface. For that a characterization of geodesics is given, leading to various types of triangles. We define lengths and angles of these. Then, transferring the concept of polar…

We revisit the formalism of $\text{T}\overline{\text{T}}$ deformations for quantum theories that are holographically dual to two-dimensional dilaton-gravity theories with Dirichlet boundary conditions. To better understand the microscopics…
Exponential regularization of orthogonal and Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is presented based on noncommutative geometry. We show that an adequately adopted noncommutative deformation of geometry makes the holography of higher dimensional…
We consider new cosmological solutions which generalize the cosmological patch of the Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space-time, allowing for fluids with equations of state such that $w\neq -1$. We use them to derive the associated full manifolds. We…
A geometric transition is a continuous path of geometric structures that changes type, meaning that the model geometry, i.e. the homogeneous space on which the structures are modeled, abruptly changes. In order to rigorously study…
In a complex manifold, one can bridge anti-de Sitter and de Sitter spacetimes via analytic continuation, preserving geometric invariants and regularity, avoiding singularities during the AdS-dS transition. It unifies gravitational and gauge…
In this paper we study the para-hyperK\"ahler geometry of the deformation space of MGHC anti-de Sitter structures on $\Sigma\times\mathbb R$, for $\Sigma$ a closed oriented surface. We show that a neutral pseudo-Riemannian metric and three…
In 2010, Kerckhoff and Storm discovered a path of hyperbolic 4-polytopes eventually collapsing to an ideal right-angled cuboctahedron. This is expressed by a deformation of the inclusion of a discrete reflection group (a right-angled…
We show that there exists a precise kinematical notion of holography for the Euclidean warped $AdS_3$ black hole. This follows from the fact that the Euclidean warped $AdS_3$ black hole spacetime is a geometrically finite hyperbolic…
The mapping between bulk supergravity fields in anti-de Sitter space and operators in the dual boundary conformal field theory usually relies heavily on the available global symmetries. In the present work, we study a generalization of this…
We propose to embed de Sitter space into five dimensional anti-de Sitter space to compute some physical quantities of interest, using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The static de Sitter can be considered as the conformal structure of the…
