In this paper we present a rigidity theorem for locally isometric hypersurfaces with a curvature restriction in de Sitter space. This is an analogue to the case for Riemannian space forms given by Guan and Shen in [5].

We consider circles on a translation surface $X$, consisting of points joined to a common center point by a geodesic of length $R$. We show that as $R \to \infty$ these circles distribute to a measure on $X$ which is equivalent to the area.…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact, orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic, and let $h$ be a complete hyperbolic metric on $\Sigma$. A geodesic curve $\gamma$ in $\Sigma$ is filling, if it cuts the surface into topological disks and…

We prove that closed manifolds admitting a generic metric whose sectional curvature is locally quasi-constant are graphs of space forms. In the more general setting of QC spaces where sets of isotropic points are arbitrary, under suitable…

We present a new approach to the theory of asymptotic properties of solutions of difference equations. Usually, two sequences $x,y$ are called asymptotically equivalent if the sequence $x-y$ is convergent to zero i.e., $x-y\in c_0$, where…

For a Riemannian metric $g$ on the two-sphere, let $\ell_{\min}(g)$ be the length of the shortest closed geodesic and $\ell_{\max}(g)$ be the length of the longest simple closed geodesic. We prove that if the curvature of $g$ is positive…

In this paper, we study the theory of geodesics with respect to the Tanaka-Webster connection in a pseudo-Hermitian manifold, aiming to generalize some comparison results in Riemannian geometry to the case of pseudo-Hermitian geometry. Some…

In this paper we prove Hessian and Laplacian comparison theorems for the Lorentzian distance function in a spacetime with sectional (or Ricci) curvature bounded by a certain function by means of a comparison criterion for Riccati equations.…

We show the existence of a complete, strictly locally convex hypersurface within $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ that adheres to a curvature equation applicable to a broad range of curvature functions. This hypersurface possesses a prescribed asymptotic…

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…

We give a lower bound on the number of non-simple closed curves on a hyperbolic surface, given upper bounds on both length and self-intersection number. In particular, we carefully show how to construct closed geodesics on pairs of pants,…

As shown by Masur in 80s, for any translation surface there exists a periodic geodesic of bounded length, the directions of periodic geodesics are dense in the unit circle, and the number of cylinders of periodic geodesics of length at most…

For a compact surface $S$ with constant negative curvature $-\kappa$ (for some $\kappa>0$) and genus $g\geq2$, we show that the tails of the distribution of $i(\alpha,\beta)/l(\alpha)l(\beta)$ (where $i(\alpha,\beta)$ is the intersection…

In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…
