For $g\geq 2$, let $\Gamma\subset\mathrm{Sp}(2g,\mathbb{R})$ be a discrete subgroup, which is either a cocompact subgroup or an arithmetic subgroup without torsion elements, and let $\mathbb{H}_{g}$ denote the Siegel upper half space of…

We develop analysis of H\"older continuous mappings with applications to geometry and topology of the Heisenberg groups. We cover the theory of distributional Jacobians of H\"older continuous mappings and pullbacks of differential forms…

An explicit expression for the Jacobi metric for a general Lagrangian system is obtained as a series expansion in the square root of the kinetic energy of the system and the corresponding geodesics are described in terms of an appropriate…

A geodesic orbit manifold (GO manifold) is a Riemannian manifold (M,g) with the property that any geodesic in M is an orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of a group G of isometries of (M,g). The metric g is then called a G-GO metric in M. For…

In this article, we investigate differential operators on the Siegel-Jacobi space that are invariant under the natural action of the Jacobi group. These invariant differential operators play an important role in the arithmetic theory of…

In this work, an efficient method for constructing a complete integral of the geodesic Hamilton-Jacobi equation on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with simply transitive groups of motions is suggested. The method is based on using a special…

Geodesics on Riemannian manifolds are precisely the locally length-minimizing curves, but their explicit description via simple functions is rarely possible. Geodesics of the simplest form, such as lines on Euclidean space and great circles…

For the Newtonian N-body problem, we study the Jacobi-Maupertuis metric of the nonnegative energy levels. We show that the geodesic rays are expansive, that is to say, all the distances between the bodies must be divergent functions. More…

In this note we develop a half-space model for the pseudo-hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{p,q}$, for any $p,q$ with $p\geq 1$. This half-space model embeds isometrically onto the complement of a degenerate totally geodesic hyperplane in…

We show that dynamical and counting results characteristic of negatively-curved Riemannian geometry, or more generally CAT($-1$) or rank-one CAT($0$) spaces, also hold for rank-one properly convex projective structures, equipped with their…

We prove that the horizontal and vertical distributions of the tangent bundle with the Sasaki metric are isocline, the distributions given by the kernels of the horizontal and vertical lifts of the contact form $\omega$ from the Heisenberg…

We prove geometric $L^p$ versions of Hardy's inequality for the sub-elliptic Laplacian on convex domains $\Omega$ in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, where convex is meant in the Euclidean sense. When $p=2$ and $\Omega$ is the…

We study the Hilbert geometry induced by the Siegel disk domain, an open bounded convex set of complex square matrices of operator norm strictly less than one. This Hilbert geometry yields a generalization of the Klein disk model of…

Given a metric space $X$ and a subspace $A\subset X$, we prove $A$ can generate various algebraic elements in persistent homology of $X$. We call such elements (algebraic) footprints of $A$. Our results imply that footprints typically…
