Exact metrics on some totally geodesic submanifolds of the moduli space of static hyperbolic N-vortices are derived. These submanifolds, denoted \Sigma_{n,m}, are spaces of C_n-invariant vortex configurations with n single vortices at the…
We prove a quantitative version of the classical Tits' alternative for discrete groups acting on packed Gromov-hyperbolic spaces supporting a convex geodesic bicombing. Some geometric consequences, as uniform estimates on systole, diastole,…
A hyperbolic group acts by homeomorphisms on its Gromov boundary. We use a dynamical coding of boundary points to show that such actions are topologically stable in the dynamical sense: any nearby action is semi-conjugate to (and an…
Given a lattice Veech group in the mapping class group of a closed surface $S$, this paper investigates the geometry of $\Gamma$, the associated $\pi_1S$--extension group. We prove that $\Gamma$ is the fundamental group of a bundle with a…
We study two actions of big mapping class groups. The first is an action by isometries on a Gromov-hyperbolic graph. The second is an action by homeomorphisms on a circle in which the vertices of the graph naturally embed. The first two…
We show that, in the Teichm\"uller metric, "thin-framed triangles are thin"---that is, under suitable hypotheses, the variation of geodesics obeys a hyperbolic-like inequality. This theorem has applications to the study of random walks on…
This is an expository article on visual metrics on boundaries of hyperbolic metric spaces. We discuss the construction of visual metrics, quasisymmetries and their invariants, Hausdorff and conformal dimension, and constructions and…
We study a rich family of robustly non-hyperbolic transitive diffeomorphisms and we show that each ergodic measure is approached by hyperbolic sets in weak$*$-topology and in entropy. For hyperbolic ergodic measures, it is a classical…
Let $X$ be a product of locally compact rank one Hadamard spaces and $\Gamma$ a discrete group of isometries which contains two elements projecting to a pair of independent rank one isometries in each factor. In [arXiv:1308.5584] we gave a…
The paper is a study of geodesic in two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Firstly, the local properties of geodesics in a neighborhood of generic parabolic points are investigated. The equation of the geodesic flow has singularities at…
Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real algebraic group. For any Zariski dense Anosov subgroup $\Gamma <G$, we show that a $\Gamma$-conformal measure is supported on the limit set of $\Gamma$ if and only if its "dimension" is…
In this paper, we establish a new quasi-shadowing property for any nonuiformly partially hyperbolic set of a $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism, which is adaptive to the movement of the pseudo-orbit. Moreover, the quasi-specification property…
We study the variety of actions of a fixed (Chevalley) group on arbitrary geodesic, Gromov hyperbolic spaces. In high rank we obtain a complete classification. In rank one, we obtain some partial results and give a conjectural picture.
For a geometrically finite Kleinian group $\Gamma$, the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure is finite and is the unique measure of maximal entropy for the geodesic flow, as shown by Sullivan and Otal-Peign\'e respectively. Moreover, it is…
We prove that, for a $C^2$ partially hyperbolic endomorphism of the 2-torus which is strongly transitive, given an ergodic $u$-Gibbs measure that has positive center Lyapunov exponent and has full support, then either the map is special…
In this article we study asymptotic properties of certain discrete groups $\Gamma$ acting by isometries on a product $\XX=\XX_1\times \XX_2$ of locally compact Hadamard spaces. The motivation comes from the fact that Kac-Moody groups over…
We present a careful approximation of the geodesics in trees of hyperbolic or relatively hyperbolic groups. As an application we prove a combination theorem for finite graphs of relatively hyperbolic groups, with both Farb's and Gromov's…
We prove the hyperbolicity of ergodic maximal entropy measures for a class of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^{d}$, which have a compact two-dimensional center foliation.
We build an analogue of the Gromov boundary for any proper geodesic metric space, hence for any finitely generated group. More precisely, for any proper geodesic metric space $X$ and any sublinear function $\kappa$, we construct a boundary…
In this work, we study ergodic properties of certain partially hyperbolic attractors whose central direction has a neutral behavior, the main feature is a condition of transversality between unstable leaves when projected by the stable…
