Recently Tang and Boozer [{\textbf{Phys. Plasmas (2000)}}], have investigated the anisotropies in magnetic field dynamo evolution, from local Lyapunov exponents, giving rise to a metric tensor, in the Alfven twist in magnetic flux tubes…

We prove a quantitative version of the non-uniform hyperbolicity of the Teichm\"uller geodesic flow. Namely, at each point of any Teichm\"uller flow line, we bound the infinitesimal spectral gap for variations of the Hodge norm along the…

We introduce a new family of thermostat flows on the unit tangent bundle of an oriented Riemannian $2$-manifold. Suitably reparametrised, these flows include the geodesic flow of metrics of negative Gauss curvature and the geodesic flow…

We give an algorithm to compute the stable lengths of pseudo-Anosovs on the curve graph, answering a question of Bowditch. We also give a procedure to compute all invariant tight geodesic axes of pseudo-Anosovs. Along the way we show that…

We show that if $M$ is a closed, connected, oriented surface, and two Anosov magnetic systems on $M$ are conjugate by a volume-preserving conjugacy isotopic to the identity, with their magnetic forms in the same cohomology class, then the…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold, we prove a uniform Franks' lemma at second order for geodesic flows and apply the result in persistence theory.

In 1986 William P. Thurston introduced the celebrated (asymmetric) Lipschitz distance on the Teichmueller space of a (closed or punctured) surface. In this paper we extend his work to the Teichmueller space of a surface with boundary…

An expansion is developed for the Weil-Petersson Riemann curvature tensor in the thin region of the Teichm\"{u}ller and moduli spaces. The tensor is evaluated on the gradients of geodesic-lengths for disjoint geodesics. A precise lower…

We study Poincar\'e recurrence for flows and observations of flows. For Anosov flow, we prove that the recurrence rates are linked to the local dimension of the invariant measure. More generally, we give for the recurrence rates for the…

In this paper we show that the geodesic flow of a Finsler metric is Anosov if and only if there exists a $C^2$ open neighborhood of Finsler metrics all of whose closed geodesics are hyperbolic. For surfaces this result holds also for…

In this thesis, we study the Teichm\"uller geodesic flow on the space of translation surfaces by introducing two related discrete-time dynamical systems. First, we discuss the Rauzy-Veech induction, highlighting its connections to interval…

Using the thermodynamics formalism, we introduce a notion of intersection for projective Anosov representations, show analyticity results for the intersection and the entropy, and rigidity results for the intersection. We use the…

We prove a version of the Hopf-Rinow-theorem with respect to path metrics on discrete spaces. The novel aspect is that we do not a priori assume local finiteness but isolate a local finiteness type condition, called essential local…

We discuss how one uses the thermodynamic formalism to produce metrics on higher Teichm\"uller spaces. Our higher Teichm\"uller spaces will be spaces of Anosov representations of a word-hyperbolic group into a semi-simple Lie group. We…

In a family of compact, canonically polarized, complex manifolds equipped with K\"ahler-Einstein metrics the first variation of the lengths of closed geodesics was previously shown in by the authors in [arXiv:0808.3741v2] to be the geodesic…

This paper develops a family of Hofer-like metrics ($\dAnV{V}$) on the space of Anosov vector fields $\An(M)$, providing dynamically relevant distances based on the cost of deformation paths using $\Ck{k}$ or Sobolev $\SobolevHk{k}$ norms.…

Adapting tools that we introduced in [19] to study Anosov flows, we prove that the trace formula conjectured by Dyatlov and Zworski in [12] holds for Anosov flows in a certain class of regularity (smaller than $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ but…

The motivation for this paper is to justify a remark of Thurston that the algebraic degree of stretch factors of pseudo-Anosov maps on a surface $S$ can be as high as the dimension of the Teichm\"uller space of $S$. In addition to proving…

The Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$ of a surface $\Sigma$ is equipped with Thurston's asymmetric metric. Stretch lines are oriented geodesics for this metric on $\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$. We give the asymptotic behavior of the lengths…

The paper is a study of geodesic in two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Firstly, the local properties of geodesics in a neighborhood of generic parabolic points are investigated. The equation of the geodesic flow has singularities at…
