For any given natural number $k$, this paper gives upper bounds on the radius of a packing of a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area by $k$ equal-radius disks in terms of the surface's topology. We show that the bounds given here are…
We show that if two closed hyperbolic surfaces (not necessarily orientable or even connected) have the same Laplace spectrum, then for every length they have the same number of orientation-preserving geodesics and the same number of…
The aim of this paper is to show that using some natural curve arrangements in algebraic surfaces and Hirzebruch-Kummer covers one cannot construct new examples of ball-quotients, i.e., minimal smooth complex projective surfaces of general…
We prove the existence of a hyperbolic surface spread over the sphere for which the projection map has all its singular values on the extended real line, and such that the preimage of the extended real line under the projection map is…
In this article, we investigate some properties of cyclic coverings of complex surfaces of general type branched along smooth curves that are numerically equivalent to a multiple of the canonical class. The main results concern coverings of…
Oka manifolds can be viewed as the "opposite" of Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds. Kobayashi asked whether the complement in projective space of a generic hypersurface of sufficiently high degree is hyperbolic. Therefore it is natural to…
We prove that each point in an almost-complex surface has a basis of complete hyperbolic neighborhoods. The problem is local, and therefore we can consider the case when our surface is ${\bf R^4}$ with an arbitrary almost-complex structure…
We introduce a type of minimal surface in the pseudo-hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n,n}$ (with $n$ even) or $\mathbb{H}^{n+1,n-1}$ (with $n$ odd) associated to cyclic $\mathrm{SO}_0(n,n+1)$-Higg bundles. By establishing the infinitesimal…
Given a Delaunay decomposition of a compact hyperbolic surface, one may record the topological data of the decomposition, together with the intersection angles between the `empty disks' circumscribing the regions of the decomposition. The…
These are lecture notes of a course held at IMPA, Rio de Janiero, in september 2010: the purpose was to present recent results on Kobayashi hyperbolicity in complex geometry. Our ultimate goal is to describe the results obtained on…
This paper continues a geometric study of Harvey's Complex of Curves, whose ultimate goal is to apply the theory of hyperbolic spaces and groups to algorithmic questions for the Mapping Class Group and geometric properties of Kleinian…
Higher dimensional generalizations of Schwarz's $P$-surface, Schwarz's $D$-surface and Scherk's second surface are constructed as complete embedded periodic minimal hy- persurfaces in $\mathbb R^n$.
In this paper, we construct families of nonisometric hyperbolic orbifolds that contain the same isometry classes of nonflat totally geodesic subspaces. The main tool is a variant of the well-known Sunada method for constructing…
We present and prove a topological characterization of geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces of finite type.
We classify all real hypersurfaces with three distinct constant principal curvatures in complex hyperbolic spaces of dimension greater than two.
We exhibit new examples of double Kodaira fibrations by using finite Galois covers of a product $\Sigma_b \times \Sigma_b$, where $\Sigma_b$ is a smooth projective curve of genus $b \geq 2$. Each cover is obtained by providing an explicit…
In this paper, we study the intrinsic mean curvature flow on certain closed spacelike manifolds, and prove the existence of hyperbolic structures on them.
A knotted surface in the 4-sphere may be described by means of a hyperbolic diagram that captures the 0-section of a special Morse function, called a hyperbolic decomposition. We show that every hyperbolic decomposition of a knotted surface…
Algebraic hyperbolicity serves as a bridge between differential geometry and algebraic geometry. Generally, it is difficult to show that a given projective variety is algebraically hyperbolic. However, it was established recently that a…
Minimal algebraic surfaces of general type $X$ such that $K^2_X=2\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)-6$ or $K^2_X=2\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)-5$ are called Horikawa surfaces. In this note we study $\mathbb{Z}^2_2$-actions on Horikawa surfaces. The main result is…
