We prove uniform north-south dynamics type results for the action of $\varphi\in Out(F_{N})$ on the space of projectivized geodesic currents $\mathbb{P}Curr(S)=\mathbb{P}Curr(F_{N})$, where $\varphi$ is induced by a pseudo-Anosov…
Let $\varphi$ be a hyperbolic outer automorphism of a non-abelian free group $F_N$ such that $\varphi$ and $\varphi^{-1}$ admit absolute train track representatives. We prove that $\varphi$ acts on the space of projectivized geodesic…
We prove that all atoroidal automorphisms of $Out(F_N)$ act on the space of projectivized geodesic currents with generalized north-south dynamics. As an application, we produce new examples of non virtually cyclic, free and purely atoroidal…
Motivated by the work of McCarthy and Papadopoulos for subgroups of mapping class groups, we construct domains of proper discontinuity in the compactified Outer space and in the projectivized space of geodesic currents for any "sufficiently…
We study the Lipschitz metric on Outer Space and prove that fully irreducible elements of Out(F_n) act by hyperbolic isometries with axes which are strongly contracting. As a corollary, we prove that the axes of fully irreducible…
We prove that if $\phi,\psi\in Out(F_N)$ are hyperbolic iwips (irreducible with irreducible powers) such that $<\phi,\psi>\le Out(F_N)$ is not virtually cyclic then some high powers of $\phi$ and $\psi$ generate a free subgroup of rank two,…
Similarly to the action of $Out(F_N)$ on Outer Space, the outer automorphism group of a Generalized Baumslag Solitar group acts on a deformation space endowed with the Lipschitz metric and the action of any fully irreducible automorphism…
It is proved that the motion of a charge particle on a hyperbolic oriented two-dimensional surface in a magnetic field given by the volume form of the hyperbolic metric is completely integrable on the energy levels E < 1/2 in terms of…
Every geodesic current on a hyperbolic surface has an associated dual space. If the current is a lamination, this dual embeds isometrically into a real tree. We show that, in general, the dual space is a Gromov hyperbolic metric tree-graded…
Strong hyperbolicity is a coarse notion of negative curvature, stronger than Gromov hyperbolicity, that includes all CAT(-k) metrics for k positive and allows the use of dynamical techniques available in negative curvature, such as…
We provide two new characterizations of geometrically infinite actions on Gromov hyperbolic spaces: one in terms of the existence of escaping geodesics, and the other via the presence of uncountably many non-conical limit points. These…
In the context of the Newtonian N-body problem, we prove the existence of a partially hyperbolic motion with prescribed positive energy and any initial collisionless configuration. Moreover, it is a free time minimizer of the respective…
The motion of a rigid body immersed in an incompressible perfect fluid which occupies a three- dimensional bounded domain have been recently studied under its PDE formulation. In particular classical solutions have been shown to exist…
We define a new complex on which $Out(F_n)$ acts by simplicial automorphisms, the cyclic splitting complex of $F_n$, and show that it is hyperbolic using a method developed by Kapovich and Rafi.
We prove topological transitivity for the Weil Petersson geodesic flow for two-dimensional moduli spaces of hyperbolic structures. Our proof follows a new approach that exploits the density of singular unit tangent vectors, the geometry of…
A Hamiltonian dynamics defined on the two-dimensional hyperbolic plane by coupling the Morse and Rosen-Morse potentials is analyzed. It is demonstrated that orbits of all bounded motions are closed iff the product of the parameter $\tilde…
Dynamical systems on an infinite translation surface with the lattice property are studied. The geodesic flow on this surface is found to be recurrent in all but countably many rational directions. Hyperbolic elements of the affine…
Coning off a collection of uniformly quasiconvex subsets of a Gromov hyperbolic space leaves a new space, called the cone-off. Kapovich and Rafi generalized work of Bowditch to show this space is still Gromov hyperbolic. We show that the…
We prove that a singular-hyperbolic attractor of a 3-dimensional flow is chaotic, in two strong different senses. Firstly, the flow is expansive: if two points remain close for all times, possibly with time reparametrization, then their…
We establish new instances of the cutoff phenomenon for geodesic paths and for the Brownian motion on compact hyperbolic manifolds. We prove that for any fixed compact hyperbolic manifold, the geodesic path started on a spatially localized…
