We give a short proof of the contractibility of the space of geodesic triangulations with fixed combinatorial type of a convex polygon in the Euclidean plane. Moreover, for any $n>0$, we show that there exists a space of geodesic…

We prove that the subgroup graph of a finite group $G$ is regular if and only if $G$ is cyclic with square-free order.

In this paper, we prove that manifolds of finite volume with Anosov geodesic flow have dense periodic orbits. The same result works for conservative Anosov flows in non-compact cases.

Monodromy groups, i.e. the groups of isometries of the intersection lattice L_X:=H_2/torsion generated by the monodromy action of all deformation families of a given surface, have been computed in math.AG/0006231 for any minimal elliptic…

We construct examples of flat surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^3$ which are graphs over a two-punctured horosphere and classify complete embedded flat surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^3$ with only one end and at most two isolated singularities.

There is a natural action of SL(2,R) on the moduli space of translation surfaces, and this yields an action of the unipotent subgroup $U = {\begin{pmatrix} 1 & * 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}}$. We classify the U-invariant ergodic measures on certain…

We prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.

We call a graph $k$-geodetic, for some $k\geq 1$, if it is connected and between any two vertices there are at most $k$ geodesics. It is shown that any hyperbolic group with a $k$-geodetic Cayley graph is virtually-free. Furthermore, in…

In this paper we show that a geodesic flow of a compact surface without conjugate points of genus greater than one is time-preserving semi-conjugate to a continuous expansive flow which is topologically mixing and has a local product…

Quadratic flows have the unique property of uniform strain and are commonly used in turbulence modeling and hydrodynamic analysis. While previous application focused on two-dimensional homogeneous fluid, this study examines the geometric…

This article is concerned with the study of the holonomy group of flat solvmanifolds. It is known that the holonomy group of a flat solvmanifold is abelian; we give an elementary proof of this fact and moreover we prove that any finite…

For every hyperbolic group and more general hyperbolic graphs, we construct an equivariant ideal bicombing: this is a homological analogue of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We then construct a cohomological invariant…

We propose a new condition $\aleph$ which enables to get new results on integrable geodesic flows on closed surfaces. This paper has two parts. In the first, we strengthen Kozlov's theorem on non-integrability on surfaces of higher genus.…

Suppose we are given a compact Riemannian manifold (Q,g)with completely integrable geodesic flow. Let G be a compact connected Lie group acting freely on Q by isometries. The natural question arises: will the geodesic flow on Q/G equipped…

We classify (up to affine equivalence) all 7-dimensional flat manifolds with a cyclic holonomy group.

We study ergodic averages for a class of pseudodifferential operators on the flat N-dimensional torus with respect to the Schr\"odinger evolution. The later can be consider a quantization of the geodesic flow on $\bT^N$. We prove that, up…

We develop a general approach to study geometric flows on homogeneous spaces. Our main tool will be a dynamical system defined on the variety of Lie algebras called the bracket flow, which coincides with the original geometric flow after a…

We show that for any closed surface of genus greater than one and for any finite weighted graph filling the surface, there exists a hyperbolic metric which realizes the least Dirichlet energy harmonic embedding of the graph among a fixed…

Monodromy in analytic families of smooth complex surfaces yields groups of isotopy classes of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms for each family member X. For all deformation classes of minimal elliptic surfaces with p_g>q=0, we…

We prove logarithm laws for unipotent flows on non-compact finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds. Our method depends on the estimate of norms of certain incomplete Eisenstein series.
