We formalize the notion of limit of an inverse system of metric spaces with $1$-Lipschitz projections having unbounded fibers. The purpose is to use sub-Riemannian groups for metrizing the space of signatures of rectifiable paths in…

For a hyperbolic subgroup H of a hyperbolic group G, we describe sufficient criteria to guarantee the following. 1) Geodesic rays in H starting at the identity land at a unique point of the boundary of G. 2)The inclusion of H into G does…

The aim of this paper is to unify the theory of ends of finitely generated groups with that of ends of locally compact, metrizable and connected topological groups. In both theories one proves that, if the number of ends is finite, then it…

Strong bounds - going beyond Sarnak's density hypothesis - are obtained for the number of automorphic forms for the congruence subgroup Gamma_0(q) of SL_n(Z) violating the Ramanujan conjecture at any given unramified place. The proof is…

We prove that for any weakly convergent sequence of finite graphs with bounded vertex degrees, there exists a topological limit graphing.

In this paper, as a continuation of [30], we consider the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence and collapsing in the family of compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary satisfying lower bounds on the sectional curvatures of interior manifolds,…

Let G be a Lie group which is the union of an ascending sequence of Lie groups G_n (all of which may be infinite-dimensional). We study the question when G is the direct limit of the G_n's in the category of Lie groups, topological groups,…

We develop the theory of Thurston maps that are defined everywhere on the topological sphere $S^2$ with a possible exception of a single essential singularity. We establish an analog of the celebrated W. Thurston's characterization theorem…

In this paper we construct certain irreducible infinite dimensional representations of algebraic groups with Frobenius maps. In particular, a few classical results of Steinberg and Deligne & Lusztig on complex representations of finite…

Thurston maps are branched self-coverings of the sphere whose critical points have finite forward orbits. We give combinatorial and algebraic characterizations of Thurston maps that are isotopic to expanding maps as "Levy-free" maps and as…

In this paper, we review the representation theory of the infinite symmetric group, and we extend the works of Kerov and Vershik by proving that the irreducible characters of the infinite symmetric group always satisfy a central limit…

Thurston's ending lamination conjecture proposes that a finitely generated Kleinian group is uniquely determined (up to isometry) by the topology of its quotient and a list of invariants that describe the asymptotic geometry of its ends. We…

We prove the No Invariant Line Fields conjecture for a class of generalized postcritically-finite branched covers on higher-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. Moreover, we establish a quasisymmetric uniformization theorem for this class of…

Given a sequence of curves on a surface, we provide conditions which ensure that (1) the sequence is an infinite quasi-geodesic in the curve complex, (2) the limit in the Gromov boundary is represented by a nonuniquely ergodic ending…

We prove a continuity property for ending invariants of convergent sequences of Kleinian surface groups. We also analyze the bounded curve sets of such groups and show that their projections to non-annular subsurfaces lie a bounded…

For any $k\in \mathbb{N}$ we construct an Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian map from a disc to $\mathbb{C}^2$ with infinitely many Schoen-Wolfson singularities which is of class $C^k$ up to the boundary and has smooth trace.

We prove the convergence of (solid) ellipsoids to a Gaussian space in Gromov's concentration/weak topology as the dimension diverges to infinity. This gives the first discovered example of an irreducible nontrivial convergent sequence in…

A typical question addressed in this paper is the following. Suppose $Z\subset Y\subset X$ are hyperbolic spaces where $Z$ is quasiconvex in both $Y$ and $X$. Let $\HAT{Y}$ and $\HAT{X}$ denote the spaces obtained from $Y$ and $X$…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the space of embedded, which may be improper, free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with uniform area and Morse index upper bound is compact in the sense of smoothly graphical…

We show that, under certain natural assumptions, large random plane bipartite maps with a boundary converge after rescaling to a one-parameter family ($\mathrm{BD}_L$, $0 < L < \infty$) of random metric spaces homeomorphic to the closed…
