We consider properly discontinuous, isometric, convex cocompact actions of surface groups on a CAT(-1) space. We show that the limit set of such an action, equipped with the canonical visual metric, is a (weak) quasicircle in the sense of…
We study finite group actions on smooth manifolds of the form $M\#\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is an exotic $n$-sphere and $M$ is a closed aspherical space form. We give a classification result for free actions of finite groups on $M\#\Sigma$…
In this paper we study domains in flag manifolds which are bounded in an affine chart and whose projective automorphism group acts co-compactly. In contrast to the many examples in real projective space, we will show that no examples exist…
Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with hyperbolic metric $\lambda_\Omega(z)|dz|$ of Gaussian curvature $-4.$ Mejia and Minda proved in their 1990 paper that $\Omega$ is (Euclidean) convex if and only if…
This is my PhD thesis supervised by Professor Jerzy Weyman. A symmetric quiver $(Q,\sigma)$ is a finite quiver without oriented cycles $Q=(Q_0,Q_1)$ equipped with a contravariant involution $\sigma$ on $Q_0\sqcup Q_1$. The involution allows…
We consider convergence sets of formal power series of the form $f(z,t)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} f_n(z)t^n$, where $f_n(z)$ are holomorphic functions on a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}$. A subset $E$ of $\Omega$ is said to be a convergence set…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \geq 1$, be an open and connected set. Set $\mathcal{T}_n$ to be the set of points $\xi \in \partial \Omega$ so that there exists an approximate tangent $n$-plane for $\partial\Omega$ at $\xi$ and…
In this paper we prove that the set of points that have bounded orbits under one regular diagonal flow and dense orbits under the other diagonal flow commuting with the first one has full Hausdorff dimension in…
We prove a structure theorem for compact aspherical Lorentz manifolds with abundant local symmetry. If M is a compact, aspherical, real-analytic, complete Lorentz manifold such that the isometry group of the universal cover has semisimple…
Given a hyperbolic inner function $f \colon \mathbb{D} \to \mathbb{D}$ with Denjoy-Wolff point $p \in \partial \mathbb{D}$, it is well known that almost every point $\xi\in \partial \mathbb{D}$ converges to $p$ under iteration of the radial…
A symmetric quiver $(Q,\sigma)$ is a finite quiver without oriented cycles $Q=(Q_0,Q_1)$ equipped with a contravariant involution $\sigma$ on $Q_0\sqcup Q_1$. The involution allows us to define a nondegenerate bilinear form $<,>$ on a…
The present article presents geometric quantization on cotangent bundles as a special instance of Kirillov's orbit method. To this end, the cotangent bundle is realized as a coadjoint orbit of an infinite-dimensional Lie group constructed…
We consider the one-dimensional Ising-like fully anisotropic S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic Hamiltonian and study the dynamics of domain wall excitations in the presence of transverse magnetic field $h_x$. We obtain dynamical spin…
In this work we consider the asymptotic behavior of the nonlinear semigroup defined by a semilinear parabolic problem with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions posed in a bounded region of the plane that degenerates into a line segment…
For convex co-compact hyperbolic quotients $X=\Gamma\backslash\hh^{n+1}$, we analyze the long-time asymptotic of the solution of the wave equation $u(t)$ with smooth compactly supported initial data $f=(f_0,f_1)$. We show that, if the…
The purpose of this note is twofold. In the first part we observe that two finitely generated non-amenable groups are quasi-isometric if and only if they admit topologically orbit equivalent Cantor minimal actions. In particular, free…
We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admits a global defining function, i.e., a smooth plurisubharmonic function $\varphi \colon U \to \mathbb R$ defined on an…
We study the backward dynamics of one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk. More specifically, we introduce the speeds of convergence for petals of the semigroup, namely the total, orthogonal, and tangential…
We examine the simplest inflection point quintessence model, with a potential given by $V(\phi) = V_0 + V_3 \phi^3$. This model can produce either asymptotic de Sitter expansion or transient acceleration, and we show that it does not…
We give conditions for when continuous orbit equivalence of one-sided shift spaces implies flow equivalence of the associated two-sided shift spaces. Using groupoid techniques, we prove that this is always the case for shifts of finite…
