We study the geometric properties of the terms of the Goldman bracket between two free homotopy classes of oriented closed curves in a hyperbolic surface. We provide an obstruction for the equality of two terms in the Goldman bracket,…

Let $\Gamma'<\Gamma$ be two discrete groups acting properly by isometries on a Gromov-hyperbolic space $X$. We prove that their critical exponents coincide if and only if $\Gamma'$ is co-amenable in $\Gamma$, under the assumption that the…

A hypersymplectic structure on a 4-manifold $X$ is a triple $\underline{\omega}$ of symplectic forms which at every point span a maximal positive-definite subspace of $\Lambda^2$ for the wedge product. This article is motivated by a…

An edge subset \( S \subseteq E(G) \) is called a 3-restricted edge-cut if $G-S$ is disconnected and each component of \( G - S \) contains at least three vertices. The 3-restricted edge-connectivity of a graph \( G \), denoted by \(…

We establish three criteria of hyperbolicity of a graph in terms of ``average width of geodesic bigons''. In particular we prove that if the ratio of the Van Kampen area of a geodesic bigon $\beta$ and the length of $\beta$ in the Cayley…

Let $G$ be a hyperbolic group that splits as a graph of free groups with cyclic edge groups, and which is not isomorphic to a free product of free and surface groups. We show that $G$ admits an exhausting, nested sequence of finite-index…

In a recent work of Zhou and Ponnusamy [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Ci. Sci. 2025], the authors studied the following natural question: find sufficient and necessary conditions for a domain $\Omega$ in a metric space $X$ to be…

Finite subdivision rules in high dimensions can be difficult to visualize and require complex topological structures to be constructed explicitly. In many applications, only the history graph is needed. We characterize the history graph of…

The lexicographic product $G[H]$ of two graphs $G$ and $H$ is obtained from $G$ by replacing each vertex with a copy of $H$ and adding all edges between any pair of copies corresponding to adjacent vertices of $G$. We consider also the…

We construct cross sections for the geodesic flow on the orbifolds $\Gamma\backslash H$ which are tailor-made for the requirements of transfer operator approaches to Maass cusp forms and Selberg zeta functions. Here, $H$ denotes the…

We consider the isometries of the complex hyperbolic bidisk, that is, the product space $\mathbb{H}^2_{\mathbb{C}} \times \mathbb{H}^2_{\mathbb{C}} $, where each factor $ \mathbb{H}^2_{\mathbb{C}} $ denotes the complex hyperbolic plane. We…

Given a quasi-median graph $X$, the crossing graph $\Delta X$ and the contact graph $\Gamma X$ are natural hyperbolic models of $X$. In this article, we show that the asymptotic translation length in $\Delta X$ or $\Gamma X$ of an isometry…

If $G_1$ and $G_2$ are torsion-free hyperbolic groups and $P<G_1\times G_2$ is a finitely generated subdirect product, then the conjugacy problem in $P$ is solvable if and only if there is a uniform algorithm to decide membership of the…

Slimness of a graph measures the local deviation of its metric from a tree metric. In a graph $G=(V,E)$, a geodesic triangle $\bigtriangleup(x,y,z)$ with $x, y, z\in V$ is the union $P(x,y) \cup P(x,z) \cup P(y,z)$ of three shortest paths…

The strong geodetic problem on a graph $G$ is to determine a smallest set of vertices such that by fixing one shortest path between each pair of its vertices, all vertices of $G$ are covered. To do this as efficiently as possible, strong…

We show that an isometric action of a torsion-free uniform lattice $\Gamma$ on hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$ can be metrically approximated by geometric actions of $\Gamma$ on $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ cube complexes, provided that either $n$ is…

We prove that every bounded strictly $J$-convex region equipped with the Kobayashi metric is hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov. We apply this result to the study of the dynamics of pseudo-holomorphic maps.

Although the hyperbolic metric possesses many remarkable properties, it is not defined on arbitrary subdomains of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \geq 2$. This article introduces a new hyperbolic-type metric that provides an alternative approach to…

Let $X$ be a closed hyperbolic surface and $\lambda, \eta$ be weighted geodesic multicurves which are short on X. We show that the iterated grafting along $\lambda$ and $\eta$ is close in the Teichmueller metric to grafting along a single…

We study the variety of actions of a fixed (Chevalley) group on arbitrary geodesic, Gromov hyperbolic spaces. In high rank we obtain a complete classification. In rank one, we obtain some partial results and give a conjectural picture.
