We are concerned with mapping class groups of surfaces with nonempty boundary. We present a very natural method, due to Thurston, of finding many different left orderings of such groups. The construction involves equipping the surface with…
Let $S$ be a compact oriented surface with boundary together with finitely many marked points on the boundary, and let $S^\circ$ be the same surface equipped with the opposite orientation. We consider the double $S_\mathcal{D}$ obtained by…
We provide a full characterization of geodesic completeness for spaces of configurations of landmarks with smooth Riemannian metrics that satisfy a rotational and translation invariance and which are induced from metrics on subgroups of the…
This paper investigates a generalized hyperbolic circle packing (including circles, horocycles or hypercycles) with respect to the total geodesic curvatures on the surface with boundary. We mainly focus on the existence and rigidity of…
Geometric lattices are characterized in this paper as those finite, atomic lattices such that every atom ordering induces a lexicographic shelling given by an edge labeling known as a minimal labeling. Equivalently, geometric lattices are…
We study the homeomorphism types of certain covers of (always orientable) surfaces, usually of infinite-type. We show that every surface with non-abelian fundamental group is covered by every noncompact surface, we identify the universal…
It is shown that every non-compact hyperbolic manifold of finite volume has a finite cover admitting a geodesic ideal triangulation. Also, every hyperbolic manifold of finite volume with non-empty, totally geodesic boundary has a finite…
In this paper we review some author's results about Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and hyperbolic space $\h^3$. We stress here in the search of examples of linear Weingarten surfaces that satisfy a certain geometric property.…
We study locally flat, compact, oriented surfaces in $4$-manifolds whose exteriors have infinite cyclic fundamental group. We give algebraic topological criteria for two such surfaces, with the same genus $g$, to be related by an ambient…
Local-to-global principles are spread all-around in mathematics. The classical Cartan-Hadamard Theorem from Riemannian geometry was generalized by W. Ballmann for metric spaces with non-positive curvature, and by S. Alexander and R. Bishop…
We study those groups that act properly discontinuously, cocompactly, and isometrically on CAT(0) spaces with isolated flats and the Relative Fellow Traveller Property. The groups in question include word hyperbolic CAT(0) groups as well as…
We propose a novel type of planar-to-spatial deployable structures that we call elastic geodesic grids. Our approach aims at the approximation of freeform surfaces with spatial grids of bent lamellas which can be deployed from a planar…
Consider an ergodic unimodular random one-ended planar graph $\G$ of finite expected degree. We prove that it has an isometry-invariant locally finite embedding in the Euclidean plane if and only if it is invariantly amenable. By "locally…
We give concrete, "infinitesimal" conditions for a proper geodesically complete CAT(0) space to have semistable fundamental group at infinity.
We study minimal Lagrangian surfaces in the complex hyperbolic quadric. We show that minimality of a Lagrangian surface is characterized by a loop of flat connections, which yields an associated $\mathbb S^1$-family of isometric…
For any hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with totally geodesic boundary, there are finitely many boundary slopes for essential immersed surfaces of a given genus. There is a uniform bound for the number of such boundary slopes if the genus of…
The goal of the article is to provide different explicit quantifications of the non density of simple closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. In particular, we show that within any embedded metric disk on a surface, lies a disk of radius…
For any non-uniform lattice $\Gamma $ in $SL(2,R)$, we describe the limit distribution of orthogonal translates of a divergent geodesic in $\Gamma \backslash SL(2,R)$. As an application, for a quadratic form $Q$ of signature $(2,1)$, a…
We construct a complete, embedded minimal surface in euclidean 3-space which has unbounded Gaussian curvature. It has infinite genus, infinitely many catenoidal type ends and one limit end.
An embedding of a metric graph $(G, d)$ on a closed hyperbolic surface is \emph{essential}, if each complementary region has a negative Euler characteristic. We show, by construction, that given any metric graph, its metric can be rescaled…
