For any rank 1 nonpositively curved surface $M$, it was proved by Burns-Climenhaga-Fisher-Thompson that for any $q<1$, there exists a unique equilibrium state $\mu_q$ for $q\varphi^u$, where $\varphi^u$ is the geometric potential. We show…

We exhibit orbits of the geodesic flow on a hyperbolic surface with at least one cusp such that every tubular neighborhood contains uncountably many distinct geodesic flow orbits. The proof relies on new phenomena, namely the existence of…

We set out some general criteria to prove the K-property, refining the assumptions used in arXiv:1906.09315 for the flow case, and introducing the analogous discrete-time result. We also introduce one-sided $\lambda$-decompositions, as well…
