We study the nonexpansivity of reflection mappings in geodesic spaces and apply our findings to the averaged alternating reflection algorithm employed in solving the convex feasibility problem for two sets in a nonlinear context. We show…
We interpret the Hilbert entropy of a convex projective structure on a closed higher-genus surface as the Hausdorff dimension of the non-differentiability points of the limit set in the full flag space $\mathcal F(\mathbb R^3)$.…
We construct a category of examples of partially hyperbolic geodesic flows which are not Anosov, deforming the metric of a compact locally symmetric space of nonconstant negative curvature. Candidates for such example as the product metric…
The geometric quantization of the geodesic flow on a compact Riemannian manifold via the BKS "dragging projection" yields the Laplacian plus a scalar curvature term. To avoid convergence issues, the standard construction involves somewhat…
For metric spaces with curvature less than or equal to x, x<0, it is shown that a recurrent geodesic can be approximated by closed geodesics. A counter example is provided for the converse.
We prove the equidistribution of (weighted) periodic orbits of the geodesic ow on noncompact negatively curved manifolds toward equilibrium states in the narrow topology, i.e. in the dual of bounded continuous functions. We deduce an exact…
This paper aims to characterize rank-one arithmetic and locally symmetric metrics in the coarsely geometric setting using coarse-geometric commensurators. We provide a positive answer in general under the Hilbert-Smith conjecture and…
We investigate CAT(0) metric spaces whose associated Tits boundary is compact. Prominent examples of such spaces are of course the euclidean ones. However there exist non trivial geodesically complete CAT(0) spaces with compact Tits…
The Hilbert manifold $\Sigma$ consisting of positive invertible (unitized) Hilbert-Schmidt operators has a rich structure and geometry. The geometry of unitary orbits $\Omega\subset \Sigma$ is studied from the topological and metric…
Any procedure applied to data, and any quantity derived from data, is required to respect the nature and symmetries of the data. This axiom applies to refinement procedures and multiresolution transforms as well as to more basic operations…
We show that, on an oriented compact surface, two sufficiently $C^2$-close Riemannian metrics with strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points, hyperbolic trapped set for their geodesic flows, and same marked boundary distance, are…
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…
Consider a manifold with boundary, and such that the interior is equipped with a pseudo-Riemannian metric. We prove that, under mild asymptotic non-vanishing conditions on the scalar curvature, if the Levi-Civita connection of the interior…
In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…
Divisible convex sets have long been important in the study of Hilbert geometries. When a divisible convex set is an ellipsoid, the Hilbert geometry it induces is the hyperbolic space. In general, strictly convex divisible domains exhibit…
We show that, given a metric space $(Y,d)$ of curvature bounded from above in the sense of Alexandrov, and a positive Radon measure $\mu$ on $Y$ giving finite mass to bounded sets, the resulting metric measure space $(Y,d,\mu)$ is…
This paper introduces a new metric and mean on the set of positive semidefinite matrices of fixed-rank. The proposed metric is derived from a well-chosen Riemannian quotient geometry that generalizes the reductive geometry of the positive…
We prove that for suitable random walks on isometry groups of $CAT(-1)$ spaces, typical sample paths eventually land on loxodromic elements which equidistribute with respect to a flow invariant measure on the unit tangent bundle of the…
We extend the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem to transversal families of mappings. As an application we show that on a certain class of Riemann surfaces with constant negative curvature and with boundary, there exist natural…
In this article we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of geodesic directions that are recurrent and diverge on average coincides with the entropy at infinity of the geodesic flow for any complete, pinched negatively curved Riemannian…
