We use techniques from algebraic and extremal combinatorics to derive upper bounds on the number of independent sets in several (hyper)graphs arising from finite geometry. In this way, we obtain asymptotically sharp upper bounds for partial…

We characterize those 1-ended word hyperbolic groups whose Gromov boundaries are homeomorphic to trees of graphs (i.e. to inverse limits of graphs that have particularly simple finitary descriptions). These are groups with the simplest…

The Morse local-to-global property generalizes the local-to-global property for quasi-geodesics in a hyperbolic space. We show that graph products of infinite Morse local-to-global groups have the Morse local-to-global property. To achieve…

We construct topological invariants, called abstract weak orbit spaces, of flows and homeomorphisms on topological spaces, to describe both gradient dynamics and recurrent dynamics. In particular, the abstract weak orbit spaces of flows on…

We prove that every self-homeomorphism $h : K_s \to K_s$ on the inverse limit space $K_s$ of the tent map $T_s$ with slope $s \in (\sqrt 2, 2]$ has topological entropy $\htop(h) = |R| \log s$, where $R \in \Z$ is such that $h$ and…

The {\em topological symmetry group} of an embedding $\Gamma$ of an abstract graph $\gamma$ in $S^3$ is the group of automorphisms of $\gamma$ which can be realized by homeomorphisms of the pair $(S^3, \Gamma)$. These groups are motivated…

In this paper we exhibit Morse geodesics, often called "hyperbolic directions", in infinite unbounded torsion groups. The groups studied are lacunary hyperbolic groups and constructed using graded small cancellation conditions. In all…

The large-scale geometry of hyperbolic metric spaces exhibits many distinctive features, such as the stability of quasi-geodesics (the Morse Lemma), the visibility property, and the homeomorphism between visual boundaries induced by a…

This paper presents a new version of boundary on coarse spaces. The space of ends functor maps coarse metric spaces to uniform topological spaces and coarse maps to uniformly continuous maps.

A question whether sufficiently regular manifold automorphisms may have wandering domains with controlled geometry is answered in the negative for quasiconformal or smooth homeomorphisms of $n$-tori, $n\ge2$, and hyperbolic surfaces.…

We construct a one-to-one continuous map from the Morse boundary of a hierarchically hyperbolic group to its Martin boundary. This construction is based on deviation inequalities generalizing Ancona's work on hyperbolic groups. This…

Let $S$ be a boundaryless infinite-type surface with finitely many ends and consider an end-periodic homeomorphism $f$ of S. The end-periodicity of $f$ ensures that $M_f$, its associated mapping torus, has a compactification as a…

We construct a new infinite-dimensional family of homogeneous quasimorphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the two-sphere. Moreover, for any constant $K$ less than the total area of the sphere, we produce unbounded…

In the paper, we prove that a Moran set is homeomorphic to the hyperbolic boundary of the representing symbolic space in the sense of Gromov, which generalizes the results of Lau and Wang [Indiana U. Math. J. {\bf 58} (2009), 1777-1795].…

We extend the proof of automatic continuity for homeomorphism groups of manifolds to non-compact manifolds and manifolds with marked points and their mapping class groups. Specifically, we show that, for any manifold $M$ homeomorphic to the…

We study properties of "hyperbolic directions" in groups acting cocompactly on properly convex domains in real projective space, from three different perspectives simultaneously: the (coarse) metric geometry of the Hilbert metric, the…

In this paper, we consider compact free boundary constant mean curvature surfaces immersed in a mean convex body of the Euclidean space or in the unit sphere. We prove that the Morse index is bounded from below by a linear function of the…

For each Cantor set C in $R^{3}$, all points of which have bounded local genus, we show that there are infinitely many inequivalent Cantor sets in $R^{3}$ with complement having the same fundamental group as the complement of C. This…

We introduce boundary special generic maps, a class of submersions from manifolds with boundary to Euclidean spaces whose restriction to the boundary has only boundary definite fold points as its singular points. We derive the…

We give new examples of manifolds that appear as cross sections of tangent cones of non-collapsed Ricci limit spaces. It was shown by Colding-Naber that the homeomorphism types of the tangent cones of a fixed point of such a space do not…
