Algebraic curves in Hilbert modular surfaces that are totally geodesic for the Kobayashi metric have very interesting geometric and arithmetic properties, e.g. they are rigid. There are very few methods known to construct such algebraic…

We prove the existence of immersed closed curves of constant geodesic curvature in an arbitrary Riemannian 2-sphere for almost every prescribed curvature. To achieve this, we develop a min-max scheme for a weighted length functional.

In this thesis we consider a way to construct a rich family of compact Riemann Surfaces in a combinatorial way. Given a 3-regualr graph with orientation, we construct a finite-area hyperbolic Riemann surface by gluing triangles according to…

Let $M$ be a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold that admits no infinitesimal conformally-flat deformations. Examples of such manifolds were constructed by Kapovich. Then if $g$ is a Riemannian metric on $M$ with scalar curvature greater than or…

We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…

Let M be a compact hyperbolic manifold with totally geodesic boundary. If the injectivity radius of the boundary is larger than an explicit function of the normal injectivity radius of the boundary, we show that there is a negatively curved…

Given a filling primitive geodesic curve in a closed hyperbolic surface one obtains a hyperbolic three-manifold as the complement of the curve's canonical lift to the projective tangent bundle. In this paper we give the first known lower…

We construct a weakly complete flat surface in hyperbolic 3-space having a pair of hyperbolic Gauss maps both of whose images are contained in an arbitrarily given open disc in the ideal boundary of H^3. This construction is accomplished as…

Let $M$ be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type, and let $\omega$ be its K\"ahler form. For a triplet $(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ of points in $M$ we study conditions under which a geodesic triangle $\mathcal T(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ with…

Suppose that $\Sigma=\partial\Omega$ is the $n$-dimensional boundary, with positive (inward) mean curvature $H$, of a connected compact $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian spin manifold $(\Omega^{n+1},g)$ whose scalar curvature $R\ge…

This paper concerns with a rigidity of core geodesics in hyperbolic Dehn fillings. For instance, for an $n$-cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ having non-symmetric cusp shapes, we show any Dehn filling of $M$ with sufficiently large…

A pair $(\alpha, \beta)$ of simple closed curves on a closed and orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g$ is called a filling pair if the complement is a disjoint union of topological disks. If $\alpha$ is separating, then we call it as…

We describe a polynomial-time algorithm to compute a (tight) geodesic between two curves in the curve graph. As well as enabling us to compute the distance between a pair of curves, this has several applications to mapping classes. For…

On a closed Riemannian surface of negative curvature, we prove a characterization for configurations of closed geodesics arising from one parameter Allen-Cahn min-max constructions. One of the facts we conclude is that every geodesic occurs…

The bending map of a hyperbolic 3-manifold maps a convex cocompact hyperbolic metric on a hyperbolic 3-manifold with boundary to its bending measured geodesic lamination. In the present paper we study the extension of this map to the space…

The classic 2pi-Theorem of Gromov and Thurston constructs a negatively curved metric on certain 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn filling. By Geometrization, any such manifold admits a hyperbolic metric. We outline a program using cross…

Given a compact surface $\Sigma$ with boundary and a relation $\Gamma$ on $\pi_0(\partial\Sigma)$, we define the prescribed arc graph $\mathscr A(\Sigma,\Gamma)$ to be the full subgraph of the arc graph $\mathscr A(\Sigma)$ containing only…

Starting with a trivial periodic flow on $\mathbb{S}M$, the unit tangent bundle of a genus two surface, we perform a Dehn-type surgery on the manifold around a tubular neighborhood of a curve on $\mathbb{S}M$ that projects to a…

For any $\varepsilon>0$, we construct a closed hyperbolic surface of genus $g=g(\varepsilon)$ with a set of at most $\varepsilon g$ systoles that fill, meaning that each component of the complement of their union is contractible. This…

We prove that a surface carries a hexagonal 3-web of geodesics if and only if the geodesic flow on the surface admits a cubic first integral and show that the system of partial differential equations, governing metrics on such surfaces, is…
