We construct first examples of discrete geometrically finite subgroups of PU(2,1) which contain parabolic elements, and are isomorphic to surface groups.

Our main goal in this paper is to construct the first explicit fundamental domain of the Picard modular group acting on the complex hyperbolic space ${\bf CH}^{2}$. The complex hyperbolic space is a Hermitian symmetric space, its bounded…

We study the hyperbolic components of the family $\mathrm{Sk}(p,d)$ of regular polynomial skew-products of $\mathbb{C}^2$ of degree $d\geq2$, with a fixed base $p\in\mathbb{C}[z]$. Using a homogeneous parametrization of the family, we…

For $i= 1,2$, let $G_i$ be cocompact groups of isometries of hyperbolic space $\Hyp^n$ of real dimension $n$, $n \geq 3$. Let $H_i \subset G_i$ be infinite index quasiconvex subgroups satisfying one of the following conditions: 1) limit set…

Let $Sp(2,1)$ be the isometry group of the quaternionic hyperbolic plane ${{\bf H}_{\mathbb H}}^2$. An element $g$ in $Sp(2,1)$ is `hyperbolic' if it fixes exactly two points on the boundary of ${{\bf H}_{\mathbb H}}^2$. We classify pairs…

Consider a compact group $G$ acting on a real or complex Banach Lie group $U$, by automorphisms in the relevant category, and leaving a central subgroup $K\le U$ invariant. We define the spaces ${}_KZ^n(G,U)$ of $K$-relative continuous…

We consider the unitary group $\U$ of complex, separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space as a discrete group. It is proved that, whenever $\U$ acts by isometries on a metric space, every orbit is bounded. Equivalently, $\U$ is not the…

We make a connection between the structure of the bidisc and a distinguished subgroup of its automorphism group. The automorphism group of the bidisc, as we know, is of dimension six and acts transitively. We observe that it contains a…

This paper studies the locally uniform exponential growth and product set growth for a finitely generated group $G$ acting properly on a finite product of hyperbolic spaces. Under the assumption of coarsely dense orbits or shadowing…

In this paper we consider ultra-parallel complex hyperbolic triangle groups of type $[m_1,m_2,0]$, i.e. groups of isometries of the complex hyperbolic plane, generated by complex reflections in three ultra-parallel complex geodesics two of…

We study the geometry of nonrelatively hyperbolic groups. Generalizing a result of Schwartz, any quasi-isometric image of a non-relatively hyperbolic space in a relatively hyperbolic space is contained in a bounded neighborhood of a single…

When equipped with the natural topology first defined by Chabauty, the closed subgroups of a locally compact group $G$ form a compact space $\Cal C(G)$. We analyse the structure of $\Cal C(G)$ for some low-dimensional Lie groups,…

Let $G$ be a simple complex Lie group, $\alg{g}$ be its Lie algebra, $K$ be a maximal compact form of $G$ and $\alg{k}$ be a Lie algebra of $K$. We denote by $X\rightarrow \overline{X}$ the anti-involution of $\alg{g}$ which singles out the…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a smooth, projective and geometrically integral curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. Let $A$ be the ring of function of $\mathcal{C}$ that are regular outside a closed point $P$ and let $k=\mathrm{Quot}(A)$.…

This article is part of the program of studying large-scale geometric properties of totally disconnected locally compact groups, TDLC-groups, by analogy with the theory for discrete groups. We provide a characterization of hyperbolic…

We prove that quasi-isometries of horospherical products of hyperbolic spaces are geometrically rigid in the sense that they are uniformly close to product maps, this is a generalisation of the result obtained by Eskin, Fisher and Whyte in…

We study the connected components of the space of higher spin bundles on hyperbolic Klein surfaces. A Klein surface is a generalisation of a Riemann surface to the case of non-orientable surfaces or surfaces with boundary. The category of…

This paper concerns with deformations of noncompact complex hyperbolic manifolds (with locally Bergman metric), varieties of discrete representations of their fundamental groups into $PU(n,1)$ and the problem of (quasiconformal) stability…

The space of directions is a notion of boundary associated to an arbitrary totally disconnected locally compact group. We explicitly calculate the space of directions of a group acting vertex transitively with compact open vertex…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, with an invariant non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form on its Lie algebra, let $\pi$ be the fundamental group of an orientable (real) surface $M$ with a finite number of punctures, and let $\bold C$ be a family of…
