In the early 80's S.-T. Yau posed the problem of establishing the rigidity of the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems. Approaches to this problem have involved the introduction of Lorentzian Busemann functions and the study of the geometry…

We discuss asymptotically hyperbolic manifold with a noncompact boundary which is close to a horosphere in a certain sense. The model case is a horoball or the complement of a horoball in standard hyperbolic space. We show some geometric…

Locally harmonic manifolds are Riemannian manifolds in which small geodesic spheres are isoparametric hypersurfaces, i.e., hypersurfaces whose nearby parallel hypersurfaces are of constant mean curvature. Flat and rank one symmetric spaces…

We compute correlation functions, specifically 1-point and 2-point functions, in holographic boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) using geodesic approximation. The holographic model consists of a massive scalar field coupled to a…

We consider contracting and expanding curvature flows in $\Ss$. When the flow hypersurfaces are strictly convex we establish a relation between the contracting hypersurfaces and the expanding hypersurfaces which is given by the Gau{\ss}…

For a convex domain $D$ that is enclosed by the hypersurface $\partial D$ of bounded normal curvature, we prove an angle comparison theorem for angles between $\partial D$ and geodesic rays starting from some fixed point in $D$, and the…

The aim of this paper is to characterize in terms of coding a set of limit points considered in a paper of F. Riquelme and A. Velozo corresponding to geodesic rays which spend less time in any compact region of a pair of pants with one…

We fully describe all horocycle orbit closures in $ \mathbb{Z} $-covers of compact hyperbolic surfaces. Our results rely on a careful analysis of the efficiency of all distance minimizing geodesic rays in the cover. As a corollary we obtain…

The Gaussian Hermitian matrix model was recently proposed to have a dual string description with worldsheets mapping to a sphere target space. The correlators were written as sums over holomorphic (Belyi) maps from worldsheets to the…

We study in this article the curvature of complete maximal spacelike submanifolds in pseudo-hyperbolic spaces. We show that the scalar curvature of these submanifolds is nonpositive in every signature. This gives, together with a result of…

We prove that the hierarchical hull of any finite set of interior points, hierarchy rays, and boundary points in a hierarchically hyperbolic space (HHS) is quasi-median quasi-isometric to a CAT(0) cube complex of bounded dimension. Our…

To every Gromov hyperbolic space X one can associate a space at infinity called the Gromov boundary of X. Gromov showed that quasi-isometries of hyperbolic metric spaces induce homeomorphisms on their boundaries, thus giving rise to a…

We show that the sublinear Morse boundary of every CAT(0) space continuously injects into the Gromov boundary of a hyperbolic space, which was not previously known even for all CAT(0) cube complexes. Our work utilizes the curtain machinery…

Geodesic convexity (g-convexity) is a natural generalization of convexity to Riemannian manifolds. However, g-convexity lacks many desirable properties satisfied by Euclidean convexity. For instance, the natural notions of half-spaces and…

A totally geodesic map $f:\mathcal X_1\to\mathcal X_2$ between Hermitian symmetric spaces is tight if its image contains geodesic triangles of maximal area. Tight maps were first introduced in [BIW09], and were classified in [Ham13, Ham14,…
