While quasi-two-dimensional (layered) materials can be highly anisotropic, their asymptotic long-distance behavior generally reflects the properties of a fully three dimensional phase of matter. However, certain topologically ordered…

We show that minimal length carrier graphs are not unique, but if M is in a large class of hyperbolic 3-manifolds, including the geometrically finite ones, then M has only finitely many minimal length carrier graphs and no two of them are…

For any finite, simple graph $G = (V,E)$, its $2$-distance graph $G_2$ is a graph having the same vertex set $V$ where two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $2$ in $G$. Connectivity and diameter properties of these…

We study the topology of orbits of dynamical systems defined by finite-dimensional representations of nilpotent Lie groups. Thus, the following dichotomy is established: either the interior of the set of regular points is dense in the…

The 2d Heisenberg model --- or 2d O(3) model --- is popular in condensed matter physics, and in particle physics as a toy model for QCD. Along with other analogies, it shares with 4d Yang-Mills theories, and with QCD, the property that the…

We study the location of the spectrum of the Laplacian on compact metric graphs with complex Robin-type vertex conditions, also known as $\delta$ conditions, on some or all of the graph vertices. We classify the eigenvalue asymptotics as…

We study a special class of graphs with a strong transience feature called uniform transience. We characterize uniform transience via a Feller-type property and via validity of an isoperimetric inequality. We then give a further…

We study a class of nonlocal partial differential equations presenting a tensor-mobility, in space, obtained asymptotically from nonlocal dynamics on localising infinite graphs. Our strategy relies on the variational structure of both…

D. D. Long and A. W. Reid have shown that some compact flat 3-manifold cannot be diffeomorphic to a cusp cross-section of any complete finite volume 1-cusped real hyperbolic 4-manifold. This note concerns the complex hyperbolic case. We…

We prove that any diffeomorphism of a compact manifold can be C^1-approximated by a diffeomorphism which exhibits a homoclinic bifurcation (a homoclinic tangency or a heterodimensional cycle) or by a diffeomorphism which is partially…

We consider weighted graphs with an infinite set of vertices. We show that boundedness of all functions of finite energy can be seen as a notion of `relative compactness' for such graphs and study sufficient and necessary conditions for…

Let $G$ be a simple finite connected graph. The line graph $L(G)$ of graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the edges of $G$, where $ef \in E(L(G))$ when $e \cap f \neq \emptyset$. Iteratively, the higher order line graphs are defined…

We show that a relatively hyperbolic graph with uniformly hyperbolic peripheral subgraphs is hyperbolic. As an application, we show that the disc graph and the electrified disc graph of a handlebody H of genus g>1 are hyperbolic, and we…

We show that the total variation mixing time is not quasi-isometry invariant, even for Cayley graphs. Namely, we construct a sequence of pairs of Cayley graphs with maps between them that twist the metric in a bounded way, while the ratio…

Topological dynamics constitutes the study of asymptotic properties of orbits under flows or maps on the Hausdorff phase space. Hyperbolic dynamics is the study of differentiable flows or maps that are usually characterized by the presence…

Let M be a compact 3-manifold whose interior admits a complete hyperbolic structure. We let Lambda(M) be the supremum of the bottom eigenvalue of the Laplacian of N, where N varies over all hyperbolic 3-manifolds homeomorphic to the…

Consider the Laplacian in a straight planar strip of width $\,d\,$, with the Neumann boundary condition at a segment of length $\,2a\,$ of one of the boundaries, and Dirichlet otherwise. For small enough $\,a\,$ this operator has a single…

We consider the discrete spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a manifold consisting of two adjacent parallel strips or planar layers coupled by a finite number N of windows in the common boundary. If the windows are small enough, there is…

We show that if H is a quasiconvex subgroup of a hyperbolic group G then the relative Cayley graph Y (also known as the Schreier coset graph) for G/H is Gromov-hyperbolic. We also observe that in this situation if G is torsion-free and…

A vanishing theorem for a convex cocompact hyperbolic manifold is established, which relates the L2 cohomology to the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set. The borderline case is shown to characterize the manifold completely.
