We prove the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for complex surface singularities of genus one, and also for those of genus two whose link is not a rational homology sphere. As an application, we characterize complex $2$-tori as the only normal…

On a surface with a Finsler metric, we investigate the asymptotic growth of the number of closed geodesics of length less than $L$ which minimize length among all geodesic multicurves in the same homology class. An important class of…

The flat-rank of a totally disconnected, locally compact group G is an integer, which is an invariant of G as a topological group. We generalize the concept of hyperbolic groups to the topological context and show that a totally…

In this note, we develop a condition on a closed curve on a surface or in a 3-manifold that implies that the curve has the property that its length function on the space of all hyperbolic structures on the surface or 3-manifold completely…

Let $\mathcal{G}(n,r,s)$ denote a uniformly random $r$-regular $s$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices, where $s$ is a fixed constant and $r=r(n)$ may grow with $n$. An $\ell$-overlapping Hamilton cycle is a Hamilton cycle in which…

Since the set of volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds is well ordered, for each fixed g there is a genus-g surface bundle over the circle of minimal volume. Here, we introduce an explicit family of genus-g bundles which we conjecture are the…

We use hyperbolic geometry to construct simply-connected symplectic or complex manifolds with trivial canonical bundle and with no compatible Kahler structure. We start with the desingularisations of the quadric cone in C^4: the smoothing…

We study the number of short geodesics and small eigenvalues on Weil-Petersson random genus zero hyperbolic surfaces with $n$ cusps in the regime $n\to\infty$. Inspired by work of Mirzakhani and Petri \cite{Mi.Pe19}, we show that the random…

Let $d$ be a positive square-free integer $\equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ such that there is no invariant of the ideal class group $\mathbb{Q}\lbrack \sqrt{-d}\rbrack$ which is divisible by $4$. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of immersed…

An $n$-vertex graph is called pancyclic if it contains a cycle of length $t$ for all $3 \leq t \leq n$. In this paper, we study pancyclicity of random graphs in the context of resilience, and prove that if $p \gg n^{-1/2}$, then the random…

We study deformations of complex hyperbolic surfaces which furnish the simplest examples of: (i) negatively curved K\"ahler manifolds and (ii) negatively curved Riemannian manifolds not having {\it constant} curvature. Although such complex…

This is a survey on known results and open problems about closed aspherical manifolds, i.e., connected closed manifolds whose universal coverings are contractible. Many examples come from certain kinds of non-positive curvature conditions.…

We prove an "h-principle without pre-conditions" for the elimination of tangencies of a Lagrangian submanifold with respect to a Lagrangian distribution. The main result states that such tangencies can always be completely removed at the…

We prove that geodesic balls centered at some base point are isoperimetric in the real hyperbolic space $H_{\mathbb R}^n$ endowed with a smooth, radial, strictly log-convex density on the volume and perimeter. This is an analogue of the…

We prove an upper bound for the number of shortest closed geodesics in a closed hyperbolic manifold of any dimension in terms of its volume and systole, generalizing a theorem of Parlier for surfaces. We also obtain bounds on the number of…

We prove that the minimal possible diameter of a closed hyperbolic surface of genus $g$ is at most $\log(g)+25 \log \log(g) + O(1)$.

We show that if two closed hyperbolic surfaces (not necessarily orientable or even connected) have the same Laplace spectrum, then for every length they have the same number of orientation-preserving geodesics and the same number of…

Given a `genus' function $g=g(n)$, we let $\mathcal{E}^g$ be the class of all graphs $G$ such that if $G$ has order $n$ (that is, has $n$ vertices) then it is embeddable in a surface of Euler genus at most $g(n)$. Let the random graph $R_n$…

We establish three criteria of hyperbolicity of a graph in terms of ``average width of geodesic bigons''. In particular we prove that if the ratio of the Van Kampen area of a geodesic bigon $\beta$ and the length of $\beta$ in the Cayley…

This article is a first step towards the understanding of the dynamics of the horocycle flow on foliated manifolds by hyperbolic surfaces. This is motivated by a question formulated by M. Martinez and A. Verjovsky on the minimality of this…
