We give a criterion which ensures that a group generated by Cartan involutions in the automorph group of a rational quadratic form of signature (n-1,1) is "thin", namely it is of infinite index in the latter. It is based on a graph defined…

We introduce a quantitative characterization of subgroup alternatives modeled on the Tits alternative in terms of group laws and investigate when this property is preserved under extensions. We develop a framework that lets us expand the…

We study Kostant's partial order on the elements of a semisimple Lie group in relations with the finite dimensional representations. In particular, we prove the converse statement of [3, Theorem 6.1] on hyperbolic elements.

We propose the study of Markov chains on groups as a "quasi-isometry invariant" theory that encompasses random walks. In particular, we focus on certain classes of groups acting on hyperbolic spaces including (non-elementary) hyperbolic and…

We study the amount of nonhyperbolicity within a broad class of (nonhyperbolic) partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with a one-dimensional center. For that, we focus on the center Lyapunov exponent and the entropy of its level sets. We…

Let $M$ be a closed 3-manifold which admits an Anosov flow. In this paper we develop a technique for constructing partially hyperbolic representatives in many mapping classes of $M$. We apply this technique both in the setting of geodesic…

We prove that for any closed manifold of dimension 3 or greater that there is an open set of smooth flows that have a hyperbolic set that is not contained in a locally maximal one. Additionally, we show that the stabilization of the…

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of a system of invariant measures for semigroups associated to systems of parabolic differential equations with unbounded coefficients. We prove that these…

We show that pseudo-Anosov mapping classes are generic in every Cayley graph of the mapping class group of a finite-type hyperbolic surface. Our method also yields an analogous result for rank-one CAT(0) groups and hierarchically hyperbolic…

Let G be a real Lie group and H a lattice or, more generally, a closed subgroup of finite covolume in G. We show that the unitary representation lambda_{G/H} of G on L^2(G/H) has a spectral gap, that is, the restriction of lambda_{G/H} to…

We show that for any invariant measure $\mu$ on a free group shift system, there are two numbers $h^\flat \leq h^\sharp$ which in some sense are the typical upper and lower sofic entropy values. We also give a condition under which $h^\flat…

Anosov representations were introduced by F. Labourie [18] for fundamental groups of closed negatively curved surfaces, and generalized by O. Guichard and A. Wienhard [19] to representations of arbitrary Gromov hyperbolic groups into real…

We establish (some directions) of a Ledrappier correspondence between H\"older cocycles, Patterson-Sullivan measures, etc for word-hyperbolic groups with metric-Anosov Mineyev flow. We then study Patterson-Sullivan measures for…

The aim of this paper is to study growth properties of group extensions of hyperbolic dynamical systems, where we do not assume that the extension satisfies the symmetry conditions seen, for example, in the work of Stadlbauer on symmetric…

For each subgroup of GL_2(F_p) or order divisible by p, generated by (pseudo-)reflections, we compute the ideals of stable and generalized invariants. These groups and these ideals are related to the cohomology of compact Lie groups,…

We address the problem of existence and uniqueness (finite- ness) of ergodic equilibrium states for a natural class of partially hyperbolic dynamics homotopic to Anosov. We propose to study the disintegration of equilibrium states along…

Consider a topologically exact $C^3$ interval map without non-flat critical points. Following the works we did in \cite{LiRiv12two}, we give two equivalent characterizations of hyperbolic H\"{o}lder continuous potential in terms of the…

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…

Let $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. For all but finitely many $m\in \mathbb{N}$, we exhibit the first examples of non-locally rigid, Zariski dense, robust quasi-isometric embeddings of hyperbolic groups in…

We prove that in the context of general Markov semigroups Beckner inequalities with constants separated from zero as $p\to 1^+$ are equivalent to the modified log Sobolev inequality (previously only one implication was known to hold in this…
