We study the relationship between the lengths of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces and their topological complexity, measured by the self-intersection number. In particular, we provide explicit upper bounds for the length $s_k(X)$ of…

On a hyperbolic Riemann surface, given two simple closed geodesics that intersect $n$ times, we address the question of a sharp lower bound $L_n$ on the length attained by the longest of the two geodesics. We show the existence of a surface…

We consider a primitive distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter at least $3$. We use the intersection numbers of $\Gamma$ to find a positive semidefinite matrix $G$ with integer entries. We show that $G$ has determinant zero if and…

Let $M=S^{2n+1}/ \Gamma$, $\Gamma$ is a finite group which acts freely and isometrically on the $(2n+1)$-sphere and therefore $M$ is diffeomorphic to a compact space form. In this paper, we first investigate Katok's famous example about…

We obtained a complete classification of simple closed geodesics on regular tetrahedra in Lobachevsky space. Also, we evaluated the number of simple closed geodesics of length not greater than $L$ and found the asymptotic of this number as…

We investigate typical behavior of geodesics on a closed flat surface $S$ of genus $g\geq 2$. We compare the length quotient of long arcs in the same homotopy class with fixed endpoints for the flat and the hyperbolic metric in the same…

We give $L^2$-bounds on the change in the complex projective structure on the boundary of conformally compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with incompressible boundary after drilling short geodesics. We show that the change is bounded by a…

In this paper, we prove that on every Finsler $n$-sphere $(S^n, F)$ with reversibility $\lambda$ satisfying $F^2<(\frac{\lambda+1}{\lambda})^2g_0$ and $l(S^n, F)\ge \pi(1+\frac{1}{\lambda})$, there always exist at least $n$ prime closed…

Let $M$ be a compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold with volume $V$. Let $L$ be a link such that $M\setminus L$ is hyperbolic. For any hyperbolic link $L$ in $M$, in this article, we try to establish an upper bound of the length of $n^{th}$…

Let $\Gamma$ be a cofinite Fuchsian group acting on hyperbolic two-space $\HH.$ Let $M=\Gamma \setminus \HH $ be the corresponding quotient space. For $\gamma,$ a closed geodesic of $M$, let $l(\gamma)$ denote its length. The prime geodesic…

The classic Lusternik--Schnirelmann theorem states that there are three distinct simple periodic geodesics on any Riemannian 2-sphere $M$. It has been proven by Y. Liokumovich, A. Nabutovsky and R. Rotman that the shortest three such curves…

It is well-known that every isosceles tetrahedron (disphenoid) admits infinitely many simple closed geodesics on its surface. They can be naturally enumerated by pairs of co-prime integers $n > m > 1$ with two additional cases $(1,0)$ and…

In this paper, we introduce the graph $G(S)$ of a bounded semilattice $S$, which is a generalization of the intersection graph of the substructures of an algebraic structure. We prove some general theorems about these graphs; as an example,…

Consider a geodesic triangle on a surface of constant curvature and subdivide it recursively into 4 triangles by joining the midpoints of its edges. We show the existence of a uniform $\delta>0$ such that, at any step of the subdivision,…

The intersection ideal graph $\Gamma(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertices are all nontrivial left ideals of $S$ and two distinct left ideals $I, J$ are adjacent if and only if their intersection is nontrivial.…

Let $Y$ be a hyperbolic surface and let $\phi$ be a Laplacian eigenfunction having eigenvalue $-1/4-\tau^2$ with $\tau>0$. Let $N(\phi)$ be the set of nodal lines of $\phi$. For a fixed analytic curve $\gamma$ of finite length, we study the…

We show that a geodesic metric space is hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov if and only if intersections of balls have bounded eccentricity. In particular, $\R$-trees are characterized among geodesic metric spaces by the property that the…

We study geodesics of the form $\gamma(t)=\pi(\exp(tX)\exp(tY))$, $X,Y\in \fr{g}=\operatorname{Lie}(G)$, in homogeneous spaces $G/K$, where $\pi:G\rightarrow G/K$ is the natural projection. These curves naturally generalise homogeneous…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter at least $3$. Terwilliger (1993) implicitly showed that there exists a polynomial, say $T(\lambda)\in \mathbb{C}[\lambda]$, of degree $4$ depending only on the…

Pascal's triangle will give the number of geodesics from the identity to each point of ${\bf Z}^2$ if you write it in each of the quadrants. Given a group $G$ and generating set $\cal G$ we take the {\it Pascal's function} $p_{\cal G}: G…
