We examine closed geodesics in the quotient of hyperbolic three space by the discrete group of isometries SL(2,Z[i]). There is a correspondence between closed geodesics in the manifold, the complex continued fractions originally studied by…

Every closed hyperbolic geodesic $\gamma$ on the triply--punctured sphere $M =\widehat{{\mathbb C}} - \{0,1,\infty\}$ has a self--intersection number $I(\gamma) \ge 1$ and a combinatorial length $L(\gamma) \ge 2$, the latter defined by the…

A mapping class group of an oriented manifold is a quotient of its diffeomorphism group by the isotopies. We compute a mapping class group of a hypekahler manifold $M$, showing that it is commensurable to an arithmetic subgroup in SO(3,…

We calculate the Lefschetz number of a Galois automorphism in the cohomology of certain arithmetic congruence groups arising from orders in quaternion algebras over number fields. As an application we give a lower bound for the first Betti…

We prove a new upper bound on the second moment of Maass form symmetric square L-functions defined over Gaussian integers. Combining this estimate with the recent result of Balog-Biro-Cherubini-Laaksonen, we improve the error term in the…

Let O be a compact orientable 3-orbifold with non-empty singular locus and a finite volume hyperbolic structure. (Equivalently, O is the quotient of hyperbolic 3-space by a lattice in PSL(2,C) with torsion.) Then we prove that O has a tower…

The geodesic length spectrum of a complete, finite volume, hyperbolic 3-orbifold M is a fundamental invariant of the topology of M via Mostow-Prasad Rigidity. Motivated by this, the second author and Reid defined a two-dimensional analogue…

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…

Let $G$ be a complex simply connected semisimple Lie group and let $\Gamma$ be a torsionless uniform irreducible lattice in $G$. Then $\Gamma\backslash G$ is a compact complex non-K\"ahler manifold whose tangent bundle is holomorphically…

Let $d$ be a positive square-free integer $\equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ such that there is no invariant of the ideal class group $\mathbb{Q}\lbrack \sqrt{-d}\rbrack$ which is divisible by $4$. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of immersed…

We present a method to compute the geometric Picard rank of a $K3$ surface over $\bbQ$. Contrary to a widely held belief, we show it is possible to verify Picard rank $1$ using reduction only at a single prime. Our method is based on…

Given a Riemmanian manifold, we provide a new method to compute a sharp upper bound for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian for the Dirichlet problem on a geodesic ball of radius less than the injectivity radius of the manifold. This…

Abelian covers of hyperbolic $3$-manifolds are ubiquitous. We prove the local mixing theorem of the frame flow for abelian covers of closed hyperbolic $3$-manifolds. We obtain a classification theorem for measures invariant under the…

This paper contains a purely topological theorem and a geometric application. The topological theorem states that if M is a simple closed orientable 3-manifold such that \pi_1(M) contains a genus g surface group and H_1(M;Z/2Z) has rank at…

We study geodesics on hypersurfaces close to the standard (n-1)-dimensional sphere in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Following Poincar\'e, we treat the problem within the framework of the analytical mechanics, and employ the perturbation…

In this survey we discuss how geometric methods can be used to study topological properties of 3-manifolds such as their Heegaard genus or the rank of their fundamental group. On the other hand, we also discuss briefly some results relating…

The Picard group {\Gamma} is PSL(2,Z[i]). We have defined coset diagram for the Picard group. It has been observed that some elements of Q(i,/surd3) of the form ((a+b/surd3)/c) and their conjugates ((a-b/surd3)/c) over \mathbb{Q}(i) have…

Let H be the homogeneous space associated to the group PGL_3(R). Let X=\Gamma/H where \Gamma=SL_3(Z) and consider the first non-trivial eigenvalue \lambda_1 of the Laplacian on L^2(X). Using geometric considerations, we prove the inequality…

Let $G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group by an arithmetic lattice. We show that for reductive subgroups $H$ of $G$ that is large enough, the orbits of $H$ on $G/\Gamma$ intersect nontrivially with a fixed compact set. As a…

We consider 3-manifolds given as Heegaard splittings $M=H^-\cup_\Sigma H^+$ with the aim to describe the hyperbolic metric of $M$ under topological conditions on the splitting guaranteeing that the manifold is hyperbolic. In particular,…
