This is a short survey on finite-volume hyperbolic four-manifolds. We describe some general theorems and focus on the concrete examples that we found in the literature. The paper contains no new result.

In this short note we introduce higher graph manifolds and use a version of the barycenter technique to characterize when they undergo volume collapse. In the case when the pure pieces are hyperbolic, we compute the exact value of the…

The goal of this article is to establish estimates involving the Yamabe minimal volume, mixed minimal volume and some topological invariants on compact 4-manifolds. In addition, we provide topological sphere theorems for compact…

We show that for closed orientable manifolds the $k$-dimensional stable systole admits a metric-independent volume bound if and only if there are cohomology classes of degree $k$ that generate cohomology in top-degree. Moreover, it turns…

In section 1 we reformulate a theorem of Blichfeldt in the framework of manifolds of nonpositive curvature. As a result we obtain a lower bound on the number of homotopically distinct geodesic loops emanating from a common point q whose…

We prove that the space of gauge equivalence classes of U(1)-invariant connections on some SU(2)-principle bundles over the 4-sphere S^4 is weakly homotopy equivalent to a component of the second loop space of the 2-sphere S^2.

We reinterpret a result of Pop and Stix on the $p$-adic section conjecture in terms of Berkovich spaces and fixed points. In doing this, we see a version of the result extends to larger classes of fields, which in turn allows us to prove a…

We describe a natural strategy to enumerate compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds with geodesic boundary in increasing order of complexity. We show that the same strategy can be employed to analyze simultaneously compact manifolds and…

We are motivated by a conjecture of A. and S. Katok to study the smooth cohomologies of a family of Weyl chamber flows. The conjecture is a natural generalization of the Livshitz Theorem to Anosov actions by higher-rank abelian groups; it…

In his paper "On the Schlafli differential equality", J. Milnor conjectured that the volume of n-dimensional hyperbolic and spherical simplices, as a function of the dihedral angles, extends continuously to the closure of the space of…

A rather complete investigation of anisotropic Bessel potential, Besov, and H\"older spaces on cylinders over (possibly) noncompact Riemannian manifolds with boundary is carried out. The geometry of the underlying manifold near its 'ends'…

In this article, we study the Hamiltonian dynamics on singular symplectic manifolds and prove the Arnold conjecture for a large class of $b^m$-symplectic manifolds. Novel techniques are introduced to associate smooth symplectic forms to the…

In this article we explore the relationship between the systole and the diameter of closed hyperbolic orientable surfaces. We show that they satisfy a certain inequality, which can be used to deduce that their ratio has a (genus dependent)…

We prove that symplectic ball packing stability holds for every compact, connected symplectic $4$-manifold with smooth boundary. This follows from a stronger result: the full volume of any such manifold can be filled by a single symplectic…

A rigidity result for weakly asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with lower bounds on Ricci curvature is proved without assuming that the manifolds are spin. The argument makes use of a quasi-local mass characterization of Euclidean balls…

In 1972, Marcel Berger defined a metric invariant that captures the `size' of k-dimensional homology of a Riemannian manifold. This invariant came to be called the k-dimensional SYSTOLE. He asked if the systoles can be constrained by the…

We show that the base space of a homotopy cofibration is locally hyperbolic under various conditions. In particular, if these manifolds admit a rationally elliptic closure, then almost all punctured manifolds and almost all manifolds with…

We prove the Arnold conjecture for closed symplectic manifolds with $\pi_2(M)=0$ and $\cat M=\dim M$. Furthermore, we prove an analog of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann theorem for functions with ``generalized hyperbolicity'' property.

The main thrust of present note is a volume formula for hyperbolic surface bundle with the fundamental group G. The novelty consists in a purely algebraic approach to the above problem. Initially, we concentrate on the Baum-Connes morphism…

We consider several ways to measure the `geometric complexity' of an embedding from a simplicial complex into Euclidean space. One of these is a version of `thickness', based on a paper of Kolmogorov and Barzdin. We prove inequalities…
