We show that any weakly partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on the 2-torus may be realized as the dynamics on a center-stable or center-unstable torus of a 3-dimensional strongly partially hyperbolic system. We also construct examples of…

This paper gives a classification of partially hyperbolic systems in dimension 3 which have at least one torus tangent to the center-stable bundle.

We prove that a regular elliptic isometry $f$ of complex hyperbolic space $\mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{C}}^2$ preserves a Lagrangian plane through its fixed point as a non-involution if and only if $f$ is real elliptic. In this case, the isometry…

Periodic geodesics on the modular surface correspond to periodic orbits of the geodesic flow in its unit tangent bundle $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The complement of any finite number of orbits is a…

Deformations of hyperbolic manifolds through metrics with cone singularities along closed loops were first studied by Thurston as continuous realisations of Dehn fillings. Instead of gluing singular solid tori into rank $2$ cusps, we glue…

In $\mathrm{PU}(2,1)$, the group of holomorphic isometries of the complex hyperbolic plane, we study the space of involutions $R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4, R_5$ satisfying $R_5R_4R_3R_2R_1=1$, where $R_1$ is a reflection in a complex geodesic and…

Motivated by a certain type of unfolding of a Hopf-Hopf singularity, we consider a one-parameter family $(f_\gamma)_{\gamma\geq0}$ of $C^3$--vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^4$ whose flows exhibit a heteroclinic cycle associated to two periodic…

We prove that every $C^2$ conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of a closed 3-manifold without periodic points is ergodic, which gives an affirmative answer to the Ergodicity Conjecture by Hertz-Hertz-Ures in the absence of…

In this paper, we determine the canonical polyhedral decomposition of every hyperbolic once-punctured torus bundle over the circle. In fact, we show that the only ideal polyhedral decomposition that is straight in the hyperbolic structure…

We introduce a new version of expansiveness for flows. Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and $X$ be a $C^1$ vector field on $M$ that generates a flow $\varphi_t$ on $M$. We call $X$ {\it rescaling expansive} on a…

We study the intrinsic geometry of area minimizing (and also of almost minimizing) hypersurfaces from a new point of view by relating this subject to quasiconformal geometry. For any such hypersurface we define and construct a so-called…

In this article we characterize the complex hyperbolic groups that leave invariant a copy of the Veronese curve in $\Bbb{P}^2_{\Bbb{C}}$. As a corollary we get that every discrete compact surface group in $\PO^+(2,1)$ admits a deformation…

Our first result gives a partial converse to a well-known theorem of A. Ancona for hyperbolic groups. We prove that a group $G$, equipped with a symmetric probability measure whose finite support generates $G$, is hyperbolic if it is…

A study of triangulations of cycles in the Cayley diagrams of finitely generated groups leads to a new geometric characterization of hyperbolic groups.

We prove that the deformation space AH(M) of marked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to a fixed compact 3-manifold M with incompressible boundary is locally connected at minimally parabolic points. Moreover, spaces of Kleinian…

If $M$ is a closed Nil geometry 3-manifold then $\pi_1(M)$ is almost convex with respect to a fairly simple ``geometric'' generating set. If $G$ is a central extension or a ${\Bbb Z}$-extension of a word hyperbolic group, then $G$ is also…

We show that closed arithmetic hyperbolic n-dimensional orbifolds with larger and larger volumes give rise to triangulations of the underlying spaces whose 1-skeletons are harder and harder to embed nicely in Euclidean space. To show this…

We study the $C^*$-algebras of the \'etale groupoids defined by the asymptotic equivalence relations for hyperbolic automorphisms on the two-dimensional torus. The algebras are proved to be four-dimensional non-commutative tori by an…

In our recent work we described conditions under which a multi-parameter random simplicial complex is connected and simply connected. We showed that the Betti numbers of multi-parameter random simplicial complexes in one specific dimension…
