Let phi be a pseudo-Anosov flow on a closed oriented atoroidal 3-manifold M. We show that if F is any taut foliation almost transverse to phi, then the action of pi_1(M) on the boundary of the flow space, together with a natural collection…

Starting with a pseudo-Anosov flow $\varphi$ on a closed hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ and an embedded surface $S \subset M$ that is (almost) transverse to $\varphi$, we relate the hyperbolic geometry of $M$ (e.g. volume, circumference, short…

Motivated by problems in the study of Anosov and pseudo-Anosov flows on 3-manifolds, we characterize when a pair $(L^+, L^-)$ of subsets of transverse laminations of the circle can be completed to a pair of transverse foliations of the…

We show that every pseudo-Anosov flow on a graph manifold is almost equivalent, i.e. orbit equivalent in the complement of a finite collection of closed orbits, to a totally periodic pseudo-Anosov flow or a suspension Anosov flow. The proof…

In this paper, we use the Weil-Petersson gradient flow for renormalized volume to study the space $CC(N;S,X)$ of convex cocompact hyperbolic structures on the relatively acylindrical 3-manifold $(N;S)$. Among the cases of interest are the…

A pseudo-Anosov flow on a hyperbolic 3-manifold dynamically represents a face F of the Thurston norm ball if the cone on F is dual to the cone spanned by homology classes of closed orbits of the flow. Fried showed that for every fibered…

Landry, Minsky, and Taylor introduced an invariant of veering triangulations called the taut polynomial. Via a connection between veering triangulations and pseudo-Anosov flows, it generalizes the Teichm\"uller polynomial of a fibered face…

We study (topological) pseudo-Anosov flows from the perspective of the associated group actions on their orbit spaces and boundary at infinity. We extend the definition of Anosov-like action from [BFM22] from the transitive to the general…

We study global aspects of the mean curvature flow of non-separating hypersurfaces $S$ in closed manifolds. For instance, if $S$ has non-vanishing mean curvature, we show its level set flow converges smoothly towards an embedded minimal…

We complete the theoretical framework required for the construction of a Morse homology theory for certain types of forced mean curvature flows. The main result of this paper describes the asymptotic behaviour of these flows as the forcing…

We present a macro-scale description of quasi-periodically developed flow in channels, which relies on double volume-averaging. We show that quasi-developed macro-scale flow is characterized by velocity modes which decay exponentially in…

For every irreducible automorphism $\phi\in\text{SL}_3({\mathbb Z})$ of the $3$-torus, for which the product of the expanding eigenvalues is positive, we construct a pseudo-Anosov mapping $f$ of an associated surface, semi-conjugate and…

In [Orbit equivalences of pseudo-Anosov flows, arXiv:2211.10505], it was proved that transitive pseudo-Anosov flows on any closed 3-manifold are determined up to orbit equivalence by the set of free homotopy classes represented by periodic…

We prove that given any closed $n$-manifold $M^n$, $n\geq 4$, there is an A-flow $f^t$ on $M^n$ such that the non-wandering set $NW(f^t)$ consists of 2-dimensional expanding attractor (the both, orientable and non-orientable) and trivial…

Given an Anosov flow on a closed 3-manifold, we are interested in the problem of whether or not making non-trivial Fried surgeries along a finite set of periodic orbits can produce a flow equivalent to itself. We show that for some…

We prove a new result allowing to construct Anosov flows in dimension 3 by gluing building blocks. By a building block, we mean a compact 3-manifold with boundary $P$, equipped with a $C^1$ vector field $X$, such that the maximal invariant…
