If $M$ is a finite volume complete hyperbolic $3$-manifold, the quantity $\mathcal A_1(M)$ is defined as the infimum of the areas of closed minimal surfaces in $M$. In this paper we study the continuity property of the functional $\mathcal…
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 explore two properties of backward orbits under semigroups of holomorphic self-maps in the unit disk. First, we prove that regular backward orbits are quasi-geodesics for the hyperbolic distance of the unit disk. Then, we show that…
We study dynamics in a neighborhood of a nonhyperbolic fixed point or an irreducible homoclinic tangent point. General type conditions for the existence of infinite sets of periodic points are obtained. A new method, based on the study of…
This paper is about closed hyperbolic surface amalgams with a focus on the growth of the number of closed geodesics. As in the case of surfaces, we show that topological and volume entropies coincide, but we show stark differences in how…
We carry out a systematic study on the motion of test particles in the region inner to the horizon of a hyperbolically symmetric black hole. The geodesic equations are written and analyzed in detail. The obtained results are contrasted with…
In this article, we establish the Hopf-Tsuji-Sullivan dichotomy for geodesic flows on certain manifolds with no conjugate points: either the geodesic flow is conservative and ergodic, or it is completely dissipative and non-ergodic. We also…
In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions for following Hamiltonian systems with asymptotically quadratic nonlinearities at infinity \begin{eqnarray*} \ddot{u}(t)-L(t)u+\nabla W(t,u)=0. {eqnarray*} We…
In this article we investigate the dynamical properties of the geodesic flow for a proper metric space endowed with a proper action by isometries of a group with a contracting element. We show that the existence of a contracting isometry is…
The consideration of the so-called rotation minimizing frames allows for a simple and elegant characterization of plane and spherical curves in Euclidean space via a linear equation relating the coefficients that dictate the frame motion.…
Geodesic convexity (g-convexity) is a natural generalization of convexity to Riemannian manifolds. However, g-convexity lacks many desirable properties satisfied by Euclidean convexity. For instance, the natural notions of half-spaces and…
Let $Q$ be a compact, connected $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and assume that the geodesic flow is toric integrable. If $n \neq 3$ is odd, or if $\pi_1(Q)$ is infinite, we show that the cosphere bundle of $Q$ is equivariantly…
Our purpose here is to adapt the results of Geodesic circle foliations for Reeb flows or Hamiltonian flows on contact manifolds. Consequently, all periods are exactly the same if the contact manifold is connected and all orbits on the…
We verify here some variants of topological and dynamical flavor of the injectivity radius conjecture in Hofer geometry, Lalonde-Savelyev \cite{citeLalondeSavelyevOntheinjectivityradiusinHofergeometry} in the case of $Ham (S^2)$ and…
In the present paper, we show that the minimal length of closed geodesics on finite-type hyperbolic surfaces with self-intersection number $k$ has order $2\log k$ as $k$ gets large.
We give a short proof of the unique ergodicity of the strong stable foliation of the geodesic flow on the frame bundle of a hyperbolic manifold admitting a finite measure of maximal entropy. Equivalently, let G = S0o(n, 1), $\Gamma$…
This article explores closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. We show that, for sufficiently large $k$, the shortest closed geodesics with at least $k$ self-intersections, taken among all hyperbolic surfaces, all lie on an ideal pair of…
Let $\mathbb Q^{n+1}_c$ be the complete simply-connected $(n+1)$-dimensional space form of curvature $c$. In this paper we obtain a new characterization of geodesic spheres in $\mathbb Q^{n+1}_c$ in terms of the higher order mean…
If M is a hyperbolic 3-manifold with a quasigeodesic flow then we show that \pi_1(M) acts in a natural way on a closed disc by homeomorphisms. Consequently, such a flow either has a closed orbit or the action on the boundary circle is…
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.…
