We prove an analog for integrable measurable cocycles of Pansu's differentiation theorem for Lipschitz maps between Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces. This yields an alternative, ergodic theoretic proof of Pansu's quasi-isometric rigidity…
This paper aims to introduce a more general definition of quasirandom groups and generalize several well-known results in the literature in this new setting. More precisely, let $G$ be a semi-direct product of groups and $X\subseteq G$, we…
In this paper a relation between iterated cyclings and iterated powers of elements in a Garside group is shown. This yields a characterization of elements in a Garside group having a rigid power, where 'rigid' means that the left normal…
We develop a combinatorial rigidity theory for symmetric bar-joint frameworks in a general finite dimensional normed space. In the case of rotational symmetry, matroidal Maxwell-type sparsity counts are identified for a large class of…
Using techniques from supergravity and dimensional reduction, we study the full isometry algebra of K\"ahler and quaternionic manifolds with special geometry. These two varieties are related by the so-called c-map, which can be understood…
We describe for any Riemannian manifold a certain infinitesimal neighbourhood of the diagonal. Semi-conformal maps are analyzed as those that preserve such neighbourhoods; harmonic maps are analyzed as those that preserve mirror image…
In this paper we develop a theory of Patterson--Sullivan measures associated to coarse cocycles of convergence groups. This framework includes Patterson-Sullivan measures associated to the Busemann cocycle on the geodesic boundary of a…
A sufficient condition is established for the existence of a solution to the equation $\mathcal{T}(u,\mathcal{C}(u))=u$, by considering a class of Kannan type equicontraction mappings $\mathcal{T}:\mathcal{A}\times…
In the present work we obtain rigidity results analysing the set of regular points, in the sense of Oseledec's Theorem. It is presented a study on the possibility of an Anosov diffeomorphisms having all Lyapunov exponents defined…
We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…
This article is the expanded version of a talk given at the conference: Algebraic geometry in East Asia 2008, Seoul. In this notes, I intend to give a brief survey of results on the behavior of semi-stable bundles under the Frobenius…
A metric measure space is said to be Carnot-rectifiable if it can be covered up to a null set by countably many biLipschitz images of compact sets of a fixed Carnot group. In this paper, we give several characterisations of such notion of…
This is a continuation of the series of notes on the dynamics of quadratic polynomials. We show the following Rigidity Theorem: Any combinatorial class contains at most one quadratic polynomial satisfying the secondary limbs condition with…
A rigidity result for a class of compact generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds with constant scalar curvature is obtained. Moreover, under some geometric assumptions, the rigidity for the noncompact case is also proved. Considering non…
Let $G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group by an arithmetic lattice. We show that for reductive subgroups $H$ of $G$ that is large enough, the orbits of $H$ on $G/\Gamma$ intersect nontrivially with a fixed compact set. As a…
We prove two rigidity theorems for maps between Riemannian manifolds. First, we prove that a Lipschitz map $f:M\to N$ between two oriented Riemannian manifolds, whose differential is almost everywhere an orientation-preserving isometry, is…
In this note we prove the Borel Conjecture for closed, irreducible and sufficiently collapsed three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces. We also pose several questions related to characterization of fundamental groups of three-dimensional…
In this paper we shall study smooth submanifolds immersed in a k-step Carnot group G of homogeneous dimension Q. Among other results, we shall prove an isoperimetric inequality for the case of a $C^2$-smooth compact hypersurface S with - or…
We discuss a number of open problems about mapping class groups of surfaces. In particular, we discuss problems related to linearity, congruence subgroups, cohomology, pseudo-Anosov stretch factors, Torelli subgroups, and normal subgroups.
We prove analogues for Cartan geometries of Gromov's major theorems on automorphisms of rigid geometric structures. The starting point is a Frobenius theorem, which says that infinitesimal automorphisms of sufficiently high order integrate…
