We consider metric versions of the notions of local embeddability and LEF. We pay special attention to normally finitely generated groups with word metrics.

A natural metric on the space of all almost hermitian structures on a given manifold is investigated.

This report introduces and investigates a family of metrics on sets of pointed Kripke models. The metrics are generalizations of the Hamming distance applicable to countably infinite binary strings and, by extension, logical theories or…

We describe recent links between two topics: geometric structures on manifolds in the sense of Ehresmann and Thurston, and dynamics "at infinity" for representations of discrete groups into Lie groups.

The aim of this paper is to extend the definition of geodesics to conical manifolds, defined as submanifolds of $\R^n$ with a finite number of singularities. We look for an approach suitable both for the local geodesic problem and for the…

Each free homotopy class of directed closed curves on a surface with boundary can be described by a cyclic reduced word in the generators of the fundamental group and their inverses. The word length is the number of letters of the cyclic…

The geodesic flow on a finite discrete q-manifold with or without boundary is defined as as a permutation of its ordered q-simplices. This allows to define geodesic sheets and a notion of sectional curvature.

This note is about a type of quantitative density of closed geodesics on closed hyperbolic surfaces. The main results are upper bounds on the length of the shortest closed geodesic that $\varepsilon$-fills the surface.

We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…

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…

If $A$ is a finite group (or a finite ring) and $\omega$ is a word map (or a polynomial map), we define the quantity $|\omega(A)|/|A|$ as the image ratio of $\omega$ on $A$ and will be denoted by $\mu(\omega,A)$. In this article, we…

In this paper we investigate possible extensions of the idea of geodesic completeness in complex manifolds, following two directions: metrics are somewhere allowed not to be of maximum rank, or to have 'poles' somewhere else. Geodesics are…

Fix a smooth closed manifold $M$. Let $R_M$ denote the space of all pairs $(g,L)$ such that $g$ is a $C^3$ Riemannian metric on $M$ and the real number $L$ is not the length of any closed $g$-geodesics. A locally constant geodesic count…

We review some geometrical aspects pertaining to the world of monotone quantum metrics in finite dimensions. Particular emphasis is given to an unfolded perspective for quantum states that is built out of the spectral theorem and is…

We consider ruled surfaces with finite multiplicity. We study behaviors of the striction curves and the singularities of the ruled surfaces. We also give geometric meanings of invariants related to the ruled surfaces.

The work consists of solutions of metric problems for convex and finite subsets of geodesic spaces.

We study the space of ends of groups. For a finitely generated group, this is a Cantor space as soon as it is infinite. In contrast, we show that for infinitely generated countable groups, it exhibits several behaviors. For instance, we…

A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…

Given a measure on the Thurston boundary of Teichmueller space, one can pick a geodesic ray joining some basepoint to a randomly chosen point on the boundary. Different choices of measures may yield typical geodesics with different…

We consider the dimensions of finite type of representations of a partially ordered set, i.e. such that there is only finitely many isomorphism classes of representations of this dimension. We give a criterion for a dimension to be of…
