In this paper we confirm a folklore conjecture which suggests that for a complete noncompact manifold $M$ of finite volume with sectional curvature $-1 \leq K \leq 0$, if the universal cover of $M$ is a visibility manifold, then the…

The question on expansion of moving volume inside of a smooth flow of the compressible liquid is under consideration. We find a condition on initial data such that if it holds, then within a finite time either the boundary of the moving…

In this work, we show that complete non-compact manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth and sufficiently small curvature concentration are necessarily flat Euclidean space.

It is known that if a compact metric space X admits a minimal expansive homeomorphism then X is totally disconnected. In this note we give a short proof of this result and we analyze its extension to expansive flows.

We compute the Minimal Entropy of every closed, orientable $3$-manifold, showing that its cube equals the sum of the cubes of the minimal entropies of each hyperbolic component arising from the $JSJ$ decomposition of each prime summand. As…

We consider a hyperbolic surface bundle over the circle with the smallest known volume among hyperbolic manifolds having 3 cusps, so called "the magic manifold". We compute the entropy function on the fiber face of the unit ball with…

We study nontrivial entropy invariants in the class of parabolic flows on homogeneous spaces, quasi-unipotent flows. We show that topological complexity (ie, slow entropy) can be computed directly from the Jordan block structure of the…

We study the volume of extrinsic balls and the capacity of extrinsic annuli in minimal submanifolds which are properly immersed with controlled radial sectional curvatures into an ambient manifold with a pole. The key results are concerned…

The Besson-Courtois-Gallot theorem is proven for noncompact finite volume Riemannian manifolds. In particular, no bounded geometry assumptions are made. This proves the minimal entropy conjecture for nonuniform rank one lattices.

We prove two rigidity theorems for open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds $M$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and the infimum of volume growth order $<2$. The first theorem asserts that the Riemannian universal cover of $M$ has…

We provide sharp lower bounds for the simplicial volume of compact $3$-manifolds in terms of the simplicial volume of their boundaries. As an application, we compute the simplicial volume of several classes of $3$-manifolds, including…

In this paper we generalize the main result of [4] for manifolds that are not necessarily Einstein. In fact, we obtain an upper bound for the volume of a locally volume-minimizing closed hypersurface $\Sigma$ of a Riemannian 5-manifold $M$…

We consider noncompact complete K\"ahler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature. Our main results are: 1. Precise relations among refined minimal degree of polynomial growth holomorphic functions and holomorphic volume forms,…

We investigate the asymptotic expansion and the renormalized volume of minimal submanifolds, $Y^m$ of arbitrary codimension in Poincare-Einstein manifolds, $M^{n+1}$. In particular, we derive formulae for the first and second variations of…

For a continuous self-map $T$ of a compact metrizable space with finite topological entropy, the order of accumulation of entropy of $T$ is a countable ordinal that arises in the theory of entropy structure and symbolic extensions. Given…

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the integral simplicial volume of cyclic covers of manifolds that fiber over the circle with fiber given by an $n$-dimensional torus. By studying the integral filling volume -- an…

We show that the systolic constant, the minimal entropy, and the spherical volume of a manifold depend only on the image of the fundamental class under the classifying map of the universal covering. Moreover, we compute the systolic…

Various lower bounds are established for the entropy of sums, products and their combinations. First, we derive a prime-field analogue of a version of the entropy power inequality established by Tao over torsion-free groups. Next, we prove…

We study the simplicial volume of manifolds obtained from Davis' reflection group trick, the goal being characterizing those having positive simplicial volume. In particular, we focus on checking whether manifolds in this class with nonzero…
