Let $X$ be a proper, geodesically complete CAT(0) space under a proper, non-elementary, isometric action by a group $\Gamma$ with a rank one element. We construct a generalized Bowen-Margulis measure on the space of unit-speed parametrized…
We study the geodesics on an invariant surface of a three dimensional Riemannian manifold. The main results are: the characterization of geodesic orbits; a Clairaut's relation and its geometric interpretation in some remarkable three…
We describe spaces of essential finite height (measured) laminations in a surface $S$ using a parameter space we call $\mathbb S$, an ordered semi-ring. We show that for every finite height essential lamination $L$ in $S$, there is an…
The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the image of a non-closed geodesic has 0 distance from the set of conical points.…
The main aim of the paper is to study in greater detail absolutely homogeneous structures (that is, objects with the property that each partial isomorphism extends to a global automorphism), with special emphasis on metric spaces and…
When can a unimodular random planar graph be drawn in the Euclidean or the hyperbolic plane in a way that the distribution of the random drawing is isometry-invariant? This question was answered for one-ended unimodular graphs in…
Dimer coverings (or perfect matchings) of a finite graph are classical objects of graph theory appearing in the study of exactly solvable models of statistical mechanics. We introduce more general dimer labelings which form a topological…
We prove general superrigidity results for actions of irreducible lattices on CAT(0) spaces; first, in terms of the ideal boundary, and then for the intrinsic geometry (including for infinite-dimensional spaces). In particular, one obtains…
In this paper we show that totally geodesic subspaces determine the commensurability class of a standard arithmetic hyperbolic $n$-orbifold, $n\ge 4$. Many of the results are more general and apply to locally symmetric spaces associated to…
Let $\lambda_-$ and $\lambda_+$ be two bounded measured laminations on the hyperbolic disk $\mathbb H^2$, which "strongly fill" (definition below). We consider the left earthquakes along $\lambda_-$ and $\lambda_+$, considered as maps from…
An embedding of a graph on an orientable surface is orientably-regular (or rotary, in an equivalent terminology) if the group of orientation-preserving automorphisms of the embedding is transitive (and hence regular) on incident vertex-edge…
We prove some finiteness results for discrete isometry groups $\Gamma$ of uniformly packed CAT$(0)$-spaces $X$ with uniformly bounded codiameter (up to group isomorphism), and for CAT$(0)$-orbispaces $M = \Gamma \backslash X$ (up to…
We provide a framework for studying randomly coloured point sets in a locally compact, second-countable space on which a metrisable unimodular group acts continuously and properly. We first construct and describe an appropriate dynamical…
This article introduces the notion of L-tangle-free compact hyperbolic surfaces, inspired by the identically named property for regular graphs. Random surfaces of genus g, picked with the Weil-Petersson probability measure, are (a log…
Continuing the work in \cite{ergodic-infinite}, we show that within each stratum of translation surfaces, there is a residual set of surfaces for which the geodesic flow in almost every direction is ergodic for almost-every periodic group…
In this paper, we develop the mathematical tools needed to explore isotopy classes of tilings on hyperbolic surfaces of finite genus, possibly nonorientable, with boundary, and punctured. More specifically, we generalize results on…
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…
In this article, we give multiple situations when having one or two geometrically distinct closed geodesics on a complete Riemannian cylinder $M\simeq S^1\times\mathbb{R}$ or a complete Riemannian plane $M\simeq\mathbb{R}^2$ leads to having…
We introduce area-minimizing subgraphs in an infinite graph via the formulation of functions of bounded variations initiated by De Giorgi. We classify area-minimizing subgraphs in the two-dimensional integer lattice up to isomorphisms, and…
In the Teichm\"uller space of a hyperbolic surface of finite type, we construct geodesic lines for Thurston's asymmetric metric having the property that when they are traversed in the reverse direction, they are also geodesic lines (up to…
