Let $M$ be a compact $C^{\infty}$ Riemannian manifold. Given $p$ and $q$ in $M$ and $T>0$, define $n_{T}(p,q)$ as the number of geodesic segments joining $p$ and $q$ with length $\leq T$. Ma\~n\'e showed that the exponential growth rate of…

Let $(M,g)$ be a $C^{\infty}$ compact, boudaryless connected manifold without conjugate points with quasi-convex universal covering and divergent geodesic rays. We show that the geodesic flow of $(M,g)$ is $C^{2}$-structurally stable from…

In this paper we study the behavior of geodesics on cones over arbitrary $C^3$-smooth closed Riemannian manifolds. We show that the geodesic flow on such cones admits first integrals whose values uniquely determine almost all geodesics…

We consider a transversally conformal foliation $\mathcal{F}$ of a closed manifold $M$ endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric whose restriction to each leaf is negatively curved. We prove that it satisfies the following dichotomy. Either…

We study expansive properties for the geodesic and horocycle flows on compact Riemann surfaces of constant negative curvature. It is well-known that the geodesic flow is expansive in the sense of Bowen-Walters and the horocycle flow is…

In this paper, we extend a Ma\~n\'e's famous result on expansive homeomorphisms, originally presented in [17], to the setting of flows. Specifically, we provide a complete characterization of minimal expansive flows without fixed points on…

Let $X$ be a compact, geodesically complete, locally CAT(0) space such that the universal cover admits a rank one axis. Assume $X$ is not homothetic to a metric graph with integer edge lengths. Let $P_t$ be the number of parallel classes of…

Let $f$ be a $C^r$ surface diffeomorphism with large entropy (more precisely, $h_{\rm top}(f)>\lambda_{\min}(f)/{r}$). Then the number of ergodic measures of maximal entropy is upper semicontinuous at $f$. This generalizes the $C^\infty$…

We construct a smooth area preserving flow on a genus 2 surface with exactly one open uniquely ergodic component, that is asymmetrically bounded by separatrices of non-degenerate saddles and that is nevertheless not mixing.

A periodic geodesic on a surface has a natural lift to the unit tangent bundle; when the complement of this lift is hyperbolic, its volume typically grows as the geodesic gets longer. We give an upper bound for this volume which is linear…
