We consider here a generalization of a well known discrete dynamical system produced by the bisection of reflection angles that are constructed recursively between two lines in the Euclidean plane. It is shown that similar properties of…

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…

We consider a large class of geodesic metric spaces, including Banach spaces, hyperbolic spaces and geodesic $\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa)$-spaces, and investigate the space of nonexpansive mappings on either a convex or a star-shaped subset in…

Let $(\Sigma, g)$ be a closed, oriented, negatively curved surface, and fix pairwise disjoint simple closed geodesics $\gamma_{\star,1}, \dots \gamma_{\star, r}$. We give an asymptotic growth as $L \to +\infty$ of the number of primitive…

In this note we show that for any hyperbolic surface S, the number of geodesics of length bounded above by L in the mapping class group orbit of a fixed closed geodesic with a single double point is asymptotic to L raised to the dimension…

In this paper, we study the deformation of the intersection of one compact set with a closed neighborhood of another compact set by changing the radius of this neighborhood. It is shown that in finite-dimensional normed spaces, in the case…

We consider the the intersections of the complex nodal set of the analytic continuation of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a real analytic surface with the complexification of a geodesic. We prove that if the geodesic flow is ergodic…

We study the geodesic flow of a compact surface without conjugate points and genus greater than one and continuous Green bundles. Identifying each strip of bi-asymptotic geodesics induces an equivalence relation on the unit tangent bundle.…

We consider certain correspondences on a Riemann surface, and show that they admit a weak form of hyperbolicity: sufficiently long loops get shorter under lifting at a fixed point and closing. In terms of their algebraic encoding by bisets,…

A basic feature of Teichm\"uller theory of Riemann surfaces is the interplay of two dimensional hyperbolic geometry, the behavior of geodesic-length functions and Weil-Petersson geometry. Let $\mathcal{T}_g$ $(g\geq 2)$ be the Teichm\"uller…

We find a compactification of the $\mathrm{SO}_{0}(2,3)$-Hitchin component by studying the degeneration of the induced metric on the unique equivariant maximal surface in the 4-dimensional pseudo-hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{2,2}$. In the…

We prove that if a positive closed current is bounded by another one with bounded, continuous or Hoelder continuous super-potentials, then it inherits the same property. There are two different methods to define wedge-products of positive…
