The purpose of this expository article is to give a down-to-hearth introduction to the notion of an arithmetic group and arithmetic manifold. To achieve this we have decided to bring two geometrical questions relating the growth of systole…

We obtain an upper bound for the number of critical points of the systole function on $\mathcal{M}_g$. Besides, we obtain an upper bound for the number of those critical points whose systole is smaller than a constant.

We consider the relationship between hyperbolic cone-manifold structures on surfaces, and algebraic representations of the fundamental group into a group of isometries. A hyperbolic cone-manifold structure on a surface, with all interior…

Given a hyperelliptic hyperbolic surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$, we find bounds on the lengths of homologically independent loops on $S$. As a consequence, we show that for any $\lambda \in (0,1)$ there exists a constant $N(\lambda)$ such…

In a previous communication by two of us, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1373 (1998), the gauge-dependent deviations of the on-shell mass and total decay width from their gauge-independent pole counterparts were investigated at leading order for the…

A meander can be seen as a pair of transversally intersecting simple closed curves on a 2-sphere. We consider pairs of transversally intersecting simple closed curves on a closed oriented surface of arbitrary genus g. The number of such…

In this paper we introduce the two-sided level-set for the two-dimensional discrete Gaussian free field. Then we investigate the chemical distance for the two-sided level-set percolation. Our result shows that the chemical distance should…

We introduce a new class of growth models, with a surface restructuring mechanism in which impinging particles may dislodge suspended particles, previously aggregated on the same column in the deposit. The flux of these particles is…

Let $X$ be an orientable hyperbolic surface of genus $g\geq 2$ with a marked point $o$, and let $\Gamma$ be an orientable hyperbolic surface group isomorphic to $\pi_{1}(X,o)$. Consider the space $\text{Hom}(\Gamma,S_{n})$ which corresponds…

In this paper we study random representations of fundamental groups of surfaces into special unitary groups. The random model we use is based on a symplectic form on moduli space due to Atiyah, Bott, and Goldman. Let $\Sigma_{g}$ denote a…

Let $X$ be a compact, hyperbolic surface of genus $g\geq 2$. In this paper, we prove that the twisted Selberg and Ruelle zeta functions, associated with an arbitrary, finite-dimensional, complex representation $\chi$ of $\pi_1(X)$ admit a…

We obtain a exponential large deviation upper bound for continuous observables on suspension semiflows over a non-uniformly expanding base transformation with non-flat singularities and/or discontinuities, where the roof function defining…

It is shown that a suspension of particles in a partially-filled, horizontal, rotating cylinder is linearly unstable towards axial segregation and an undulation of the free surface at large enough particle concentrations. Relying on the…

We study large uniform random maps with one face whose genus grows linearly with the number of edges, which are a model of discrete hyperbolic geometry. In previous works, several hyperbolic geometric features have been investigated. In the…

In general, it is difficult to measure distances in the Weil-Petersson metric on Teichm\"uller space. Here we consider the distance between strata in the Weil-Petersson completion of Teichm\"uller space of a surface of finite type. Wolpert…

We find bounds for Weil-Petersson holomorphic sectional curvature, and the Weil-Petersson curvature operator in several regimes, that do not depend on the topology of the underlying surface. Among other results, we show that the minimal…

Exploiting a bijective correspondence between planar quadrangulations and well-labeled trees, we define an ensemble of infinite surfaces as a limit of uniformly distributed ensembles of quadrangulations of fixed finite volume. The limit…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact surface of genus $g \geq 1$ equipped with an area form. We construct eggbeater Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms which lie arbitrarily far in the Hofer metric from the set of autonomous Hamiltonians. This result is…

The systoles of a hyperbolic surface {\Sigma} are the shortest closed geodesics. We say that the systoles fill the surface if the set Syst({\Sigma}) of all systoles cuts {\Sigma} into polygons. We refine an idea of Schmutz [15] to construct…

In this paper two Poisson structures on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces with conical points are compared: the Weil-Petersson one and the \eta coming from the representation variety. We show that they are multiple of each other, if…
