Let $X$ be an infinite Riemann surface equipped with its conformal hyperbolic metric such that the action of the covering group $\pi_1(X)$ on $\tilde{X}$ is of the first kind-i.e., the surface $X$ is equal to its convex core. We first prove…

Since their introduction by Thurston, geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces occur in many contexts. In this paper, we propose a generalization of geodesic laminations on locally CAT(0), complete, geodesic metric spaces, whose boundary…

The loop graph of an infinite type surface is an infinite diameter hyperbolic graph first studied in detail by Juliette Bavard. An important open problem in the study of infinite type surfaces is to describe the boundary of the loop graph…

We give a combinatorial proof of an unpublished result of E. Klarreich: The Gromov boundary of the complex of curves of a non-exceptional oriented surface S of finite type can naturally be identified with the space of minimal geodesic…

We consider the space of geodesic laminations on a surface, endowed with the Hausdorff metric d_H and with a variation of this metric called the d_log metric. We compute and/or estimate the Hausdorff dimensions of these two metrics. We also…

The space ML(F) of measured geodesic laminations on a given closed hyperbolic surface F has a canonical linear structure arising in fact from different sources in 2-dimensional hyperbolic (earthquake theory) or complex projective (grafting)…

In this note we show that for any hyperbolic surface S, the number of geodesics of length bounded above by L in the mapping class group orbit of a fixed closed geodesic with a single double point is asymptotic to L raised to the dimension…

We define an ending lamination for a Weil-Petersson geodesic ray. Despite the lack of a natural visual boundary for the Weil-Petersson metric, these ending laminations provide an effective boundary theory that encodes much of its asymptotic…

We prove a structure theorem for ergodic homological rotation sets of homeomorphisms isotopic to the identity on a closed orientable hyperbolic surface: this set is made of a finite number of pieces that are either one-dimensional or almost…

Recent works [MMO1, arXiv:1802.03853, arXiv:1802.04423, arXiv:2101.08956] have shed light on the topological behavior of geodesic planes in the convex core of a geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds $M$ of infinite volume. In this…

We show that the subsurface projection of a train track splitting sequence is an unparameterized quasi-geodesic in the curve complex of the subsurface. For the proof we introduce induced tracks, efficient position, and wide curves. This…

We present and prove a topological characterization of geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces of finite type.

Given a n-dimensional lamination endowed with a Riemannian metric, we introduce the notion of a multiplicative cocycle of rank d, where n and d are arbitrary positive integers. The holonomy cocycle of a foliation and its exterior powers as…

In [Mor], we have introduced a notion of flat laminations on surfaces endowed with a flat structure, similar to geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces. Here is a sequel to this article that aims at defining transversal measures on flat…

We explicate a number of notions of algebraic laminations existing in the literature, particularly in the context of an exact sequence $$1\to H\to G \to Q \to 1 $$ of hyperbolic groups. These laminations arise in different contexts:…

Let X be a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area. We establish that the intersection points of closed geodesics with length <T are equidistributed on X as T goes to infinity.

The bending map of a hyperbolic 3-manifold with boundary maps a geometrically hyperbolic metric to its bending measured geodesic lamination. We show that the bending map is proper. As a byproduct of the proof we show that the group of…

Let $X$ be a building, identified with its Davis realisation. In this paper, we provide for each $x\in X$ and each $\eta$ in the visual boundary $\partial X$ of $X$ a description of the geodesic ray bundle $Geo(x,\eta)$, namely, of the…
