We prove that for each sufficiently complicated orientable surface $S$, there exists an infinite image linear representation $\rho$ of $\pi_1(S)$ such that if $\gamma\in\pi_1(S)$ is freely homotopic to a simple closed curve on $S$, then…
We answer two questions about the topology of end spaces of infinite type surfaces and the action of the mapping class group that have appeared in the literature. First, we give examples of infinite type surfaces with end spaces that are…
Given a non-trivial complete valued field $K$ with value group $\Lambda$, we construct a $\Lambda$-tree space associated to $K$ analog of the Bruhat-Tits tree, and locally finite trees associated to compact subsets of the projective line.…
The goal of this work is to give new quantitative results about the distribution of semi-arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces in the moduli space of closed hyperbolic surfaces. We show that two coverings of genus $g$ of a fixed arithmetic surface…
We characterize which cobounded quasigeodesics in the Teichmueller space T of a closed surface are at bounded distance from a geodesic. More generally, given a cobounded lipschitz path gamma in T, we show that gamma is a quasigeodesic with…
The Gauss map of non-degenerate surfaces in the three-dimensional Minkowski space are viewed as dynamical fields of the two-dimensional O(2,1) Nonlinear Sigma Model. In this setting, the moduli space of solutions with rotational symmetry is…
For each k > 0 we find an explicit function f_k such that the topology of S inside the ball B(p,r) is `bounded' by f_k(r) for every complete Riemannian surface (compact or noncompact) with K\geq -k^2, every point p on the surface, and every…
We give sufficient conditions for a noncompact Riemannian manifold, which has quadratic curvature decay, to have finite topological type with ends that are cones over spherical space forms.
Gromov Hyperbolic groups have remarkable finiteness properties;for example those that are torsion-free are fundamental groups of finitecomplexes whose universal cover iscontractible (property~$F$). In this talk we will show thattheir…
The existence of embedded minimal surfaces in non-compact 3-manifolds remains a largely unresolved and challenging problem in geometry. In this paper, we address several open cases regarding the existence of finite-area, embedded, complete,…
We study a natural map from representations of a free (resp. free abelian) group of rank g in GL_r(C), to holomorphic vector bundles of degree zero over a compact Riemann surface X of genus g (resp. complex torus X of dimension g). This map…
A sequence of distinct closed surfaces in a hyperbolic 3-manifold M is asymptotically geodesic if their principal curvatures tend uniformly to zero. When M has finite volume, we show such sequences are always asymptotically dense in the…
The (super) Schottky uniformization of compact (super) Riemann surfaces is briefly reviewed. Deformations of super Riemann surface by gravitinos and Beltrami parameters are recast in terms of super Schottky group cohomology. It is checked…
Veech groups uniformize Teichm\"uller geodesic curves in Riemann moduli space. Recently, examples of infinitely generated Veech groups have been given. We show that these can even have infinitely many cusps and infinitely many infinite…
In this paper we give a new, and shorter, proof of Huber's theorem which affirms that for a connected open Riemann surface endowed with a complete conformal Riemannian metric, if the negative part of its Gaussian curvature has finite mass,…
We study a natural map from representations of a free group of rank g in GL(n,C), to holomorphic vector bundles of degree 0 over a compact Riemann surface X of genus g, associated with a Schottky uniformization of X. Maximally unstable flat…
We study the dynamics of Topologically Anosov homeomorphisms of non compact surfaces. In the case of surfaces of genus zero and finite type, we classify them. We prove that if $f:S \to S$, is a Topologically Anosov homeomorphism where $S$…
Let G be a noncocompact irreducible arithmetic group over a global function field K of characteristic p, and let H be a finite-index, residually p-finite subgroup of G. We show that the cohomology of H in the dimension of its associated…
We prove that any hyperbolic end with particles (cone singularities along infinite curves of angles less than $\pi$) admits a unique foliation by constant Gauss curvature surfaces. Using a form of duality between hyperbolic ends with…
