The goal of this paper is to study two basic problems of hyperbolic geometry. The first problem is to compare the hyperbolic and Euclidean distances. The second problem is to find hyperbolic counterparts of some basic geometric…
The boundary of the convex hull of a compact algebraic curve in real 3-space defines a real algebraic surface. For general curves, that boundary surface is reducible, consisting of tritangent planes and a scroll of stationary bisecants. We…
In this paper we study the spaces of non-compact real algebraic curves, i.e. pairs $(P,\tau)$, where $P$ is a compact Riemann surface with a finite number of holes and punctures and $\tau:P\to P$ is an anti-holomorphic involution. We…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2, $g$ a positive integer, $f(x)$ a degree $(2g+1)$ polynomial with coefficients in $K$ and without multiple roots, $C: y^2=f(x)$ the corresponding genus $g$…
We construct a compact minitwistor space from a hyperelliptic curve with real structure and show that it yields a lot of new Lorentzian Einstein-Weyl spaces all of which are diffeomorphic to the 3-dimensional deSitter space. These…
This paper is a more succinct version of the author's 1993 UCLA mathematics thesis. It proves that any group quasi-isometric to the product of the hyperbolic plane with the real line is a finite extension of a cocompact lattice in either…
We classify all negatively curved $\R^n \rtimes \R$ up to quasiisometry. We show that all quasiisometries between such manifolds (except when they are biLipschitz to the real hyperbolic spaces) are almost similarities. We prove these…
The multicorns are the connectedness loci of unicritical antiholomorphic polynomials $\bar{z}^d + c$. We investigate the structure of boundaries of hyperbolic components: we prove that the structure of bifurcations from hyperbolic…
We study the geometry and arithmetic of the curves $C \colon y^3 = x^4 + ax^2 + b$ and their associated Prym abelian surfaces $P$. We prove a Torelli theorem in this context and give a geometric proof of the fact that $P$ has quaternionic…
Motivated by the recent interest in Lie algebraic and geometric structures arising from tensor products of division algebras and their relevance to high energy theoretical physics, we analyze generalized bioctonionic projective and…
The main goal of this work is to prove that a very generic surface of degree at least 21 in complex projective 3-dimensional space is hyperbolic in the sense of Kobayashi. This means that every entire holomorphic map $f:{\Bbb C} \to X$ to…
For each prime $p$, this paper constructs compact complex hyperbolic $2$-manifolds with an isometric action of $\mathbb{Z} / p \mathbb{Z}$ that is not free and has only isolated fixed points. The case $p = 2$ is special, and finding general…
An equidistant polytope is a special equidistant set in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ all of whose boundary points have equal distances from two finite systems of points. Since one of the finite systems of the given points is required to be in…
We study closures of GL_2(R)-orbits on the total space of the Hodge bundle over the moduli space of curves under the assumption that they are algebraic manifolds. We show that, in the generic stratum, such manifolds are the whole stratum,…
In this paper, we classify completely hyperbolic 3-manifolds corresponding to geometric limits of Kleinian surface groups isomorphic to $\pi_1(S)$ for a finite-type hyperbolic surface $S$. In the first of the three main theorems, we…
We construct a new family of infinite-dimensional quasi-graded Lie algebras on hyperelliptic curves. We show that constructed algebras possess infinite number of invariant functions and admit a decomposition into the direct sum of two…
The group $\Out$ of outer automorphisms of the free group has been an object of active study for many years, yet its geometry is not well understood. Recently, effort has been focused on finding a hyperbolic complex on which $\Out$ acts, in…
Using concepts and techniques of bilinear algebra, we construct hyperbolic planes over a euclidean ordered field that satisfy all the Hilbert axioms of incidence, order and congruence for a basic plane geometry, but for which the hyperbolic…
In this paper we count the number of isomorphism classes of geometrically indecomposable quasi-parabolic structures of a given type on a given vector bundle on the projective line over a finite field. We give a conjectural cohomological…
The paper gives topological as well as rigid isotopy classification of smooth irreducible algebraic curves in the real projective 3-space for the case when the degree of the curve is at most six and its genus is at most one.
