We study geodesics on the Necker cube surface, $\mathbf N$, an infinite periodic Euclidean cone surface that is homeomorphic to the plane and is tiled by squares meeting three or six to a vertex. We ask: When does a geodesic on the surface…

We prove upper bounds for the Morse index and number of intersections of min-max geodesics achieving the $p$-widths of a closed surface. A key tool in our analysis is a proof that for a generic set of metrics, the tangent cone at any vertex…

The geometrical diffraction theory, in the sense of Keller,is here reconsidered as an obstacle problem in the Riemannian geometry. The first result is the proof of the existence and the analysis of the main properties of the diffracted…

This paper concerns the coherent states on spheres studied by the authors in [J. Math. Phys. 43 (2002), 1211-1236]. We show that in the odd-dimensional case the coherent states on the sphere approach the classical Gaussian coherent states…

We prove a lower bound on the size of bottlenecks in uniform quadrangulations, valid at all scales simultaneously. We use it to establish upper bounds on the uniform mixing time of the lazy random walk on uniform quadrangulations, as well…

Many classical objects on a surface S can be interpreted as cross-ratio functions on the circle at infinity of the universal covering. This includes closed curves considered up to homotopy, metrics of negative curvature considered up to…

We give a global description of envelopes of geodesic tangents of regular curves in (not necessarily convex) Riemannian surfaces. We prove that such an envelope is the union of the curve itself, its inflectional geodesics and its tangential…

We establish fundamental properties of infinite geodesics and competition interfaces in the directed landscape. We construct infinite geodesics in the directed landscape, establish their uniqueness and coalescence, and define Busemann…

We study the fluctuations of self-intersection counts of random geodesic segments of length $t$ on a compact, negatively curved surface in the limit of large $t$. If the initial direction vector of the geodesic is chosen according to the…

We investigate Lindel\"of and Koebe type boundary behavior results for bounded quasiregular mappings in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. Our results give sufficient conditions for the existence of non-tangential limits at a boundary point.

A local description of the non-flat infinitesimally bendable Euclidean hypersurfaces was recently given by Dajczer and Vlachos \cite{DaVl}. From their classification, it follows that there is an abundance of infinitesimally bendable…

The mapping class group of a surface $\S$ acts on the set of closed geodesics on $\S$. This action preserves self-intersection number. In this paper, we count the orbits of curves with at most $K$ self-intersections, for each $K \geq 1$.…

We study the local limits of uniform random triangulations with boundaries in the regime where the genus is proportional to the number of faces. Budzinski and Louf proved in 2020 that when there are no boundaries, the local limits exist and…

We give a combinatorial proof, using the hyperbolicity of the curve graphs, of the bounded geodesic image theorem of Masur and Minsky. Recently it has been shown that curve graphs are uniformly hyperbolic, thus a universal bound can be…

There are many examples for point sets in finite geometry, which behave "almost regularly" in some (well-defined) sense, for instance they have "almost regular" line-intersection numbers. In this paper we investigate point sets of a…
