In this paper we provide two new characterizations of real hyperbolic $n$-space using the Poincar\'e exponent of a discrete group and the volume growth entropy. The first characterization is in the space of Hilbert metrics and generalizes a…

Deformations of minimal surfaces lying in constant time slices in static space-times are studied. An exact and universal formula for a change of the area of a minimal surface under shifts of nearby point-like particles is found. It allows…

We introduce a flow of maps from a compact surface of arbitrary genus to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold which has elements in common with both the harmonic map flow and the mean curvature flow, but is more effective at finding minimal…

For any non-elementary, torsion-free hyperbolic group, we provide a correspondence between the left-invariant Gromov-hyperbolic metrics on the group that are quasi-isometric to a word metric, and continuous reparameterizations of the…

In this paper, we describe the intersection between geodesic and conformal currents on closed hyperbolic three-manifolds. We use this to prove some sharp bounds which involve the Liouville entropy of a negatively curved metric, the minimal…

In this article we study geodesic flows on closed Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points and divergence property of geodesic rays. If the fundamental group is Gromov hyperbolic and residually finite we prove, under appropriate…

We prove that in a Riemannian manifold $M$, each function whose Hessian is proportional the metric tensor yields a weighted monotonicity theorem. Such function appears in the Euclidean space, the round sphere $S^n$ and the hyperbolic space…

Given a closed, orientable surface of constant negative curvature and genus $g \ge 2$, we study the topological entropy and measure-theoretic entropy (with respect to a smooth invariant measure) of generalized Bowen--Series boundary maps.…

We prove that sufficiently low-entropy closed hypersurfaces can be perturbed so that their mean curvature flow encounters only spherical and cylindrical singularities. Our theorem applies to all closed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with…

We study notions of asymptotic regularity for a class of minimal submanifolds of complex hyperbolic space that includes minimal Lagrangian submanifolds. As an application, we show a relationship between an appropriate formulation of…

We consider surfaces immersed in three-dimensional pseudohermitian manifolds. We define the notion of (p-)mean curvature and of the associated (p-)minimal surfaces, extending some concepts previously given for the (flat) Heisenberg group.…

This note introduces a notion of entropy for submanifolds of hyperbolic space analogous to the one introduced by Colding and Minicozzi for submanifolds of Euclidean space. Several properties are proved for this quantity including…

We study the geodesic convexity of various energy and entropy functionals restricted to (non-geodesically convex) submanifolds of Wasserstein spaces with their induced geometry. We prove a variety of convexity results by means of a simple…

Minimal surfaces in the Riemannian product of surfaces of constant curvature have been considered recently, particularly as these products arise as spaces of oriented geodesics of 3-dimensional space-forms. This papers considers more…
