Abelian covers of hyperbolic $3$-manifolds are ubiquitous. We prove the local mixing theorem of the frame flow for abelian covers of closed hyperbolic $3$-manifolds. We obtain a classification theorem for measures invariant under the…

We prove that every finitely generated group with recursive aspherical presentation embeds into a group with finite aspherical presentation. This and several known facts about groups and manifolds imply that there exists a 4-dimensional…

It is known that no length or time measurements are possible in sub-Planckian regions of spacetime. The Volovich hypothesis postulates that the micro-geometry of spacetime may therefore be assumed to be non-archimedean. In this letter, the…

[Abridged] In a Universe with a detectable nontrivial spatial topology the last scattering surface contains pairs of matching circles with the same distribution of temperature fluctuations - the so-called circles-in-the-sky. Searches for…

We study the Borel subsets of the plane that can be made closed by refining the Polish topology on the real line. These sets are called potentially closed. We first compare Borel subsets of the plane using products of continuous functions.…

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…

Every oriented closed geodesic on the modular surface has a canonically associated knot in its unit tangent bundle coming from the periodic orbit of the geodesic flow. We study the volume of the associated knot complement with respect to…

We give an overview of progress on homogeneous Einstein metrics on large classes of homogeneous manifolds, such as generalized flag manifolds and Stiefel manifolds. The main difference between these two classes of homogeneous spaces is that…

In this paper we examine the relationship between the length spectrum and the geometric genus spectrum of an arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifold M. In particular we analyze the extent to which the geometry of M is determined by the closed…

If M is a hyperbolic 3-manifold with a quasigeodesic flow then we show that \pi_1(M) acts in a natural way on a closed disc by homeomorphisms. Consequently, such a flow either has a closed orbit or the action on the boundary circle is…

We study the distribution of geometrically and topologically nearly geodesic random surfaces in a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M. In particular, we describe PSL(2,R) invariant measures on the Grassmann bundle G(M) which arise as limits of…

Let $X$ be a compact Gromov-Hausdorff limit space of a collapsing sequence of compact $n$-manifolds, $M_i$, of Ricci curvature $\text{Ric}_{M_i}\ge -(n-1)$ and all points in $M_i$ are $(\delta,\rho)$-local rewinding Reifenberg points, or…

Let $G$ be a classical linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field, and let $\mathfrak{n}$ denote the subset of nilpotent elements in its Lie algebra. In this paper we study a partial order on the $G$-orbits in $\mathfrak{n}$…

Let $\mathcal{M}^{\mathrm{st}}$ ($\mathcal{M}^{\mathrm{pst}}$) be a moduli space of stable (polystable) bundles with fixed determinant on a complex surface with $b_1=1$, $p_g=0$, and let $Z\subset \mathcal{M}^{\mathrm{st}}$ be a pure…

Every finite collection of oriented closed geodesics in the modular surface has a canonically associated link in its unit tangent bundle coming from the periodic orbits of the geodesic flow. We study the volume of the associated link…

We study the stationary points of the hierarchical three body problem in the planetary limit (m_2, m_3 << m_1) at both the quadrupole and octupole orders. We demonstrate that the extension to octupole order preserves the principal…

This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…

We view space-filling circle packings as subsets of the boundary of hyperbolic space subject to symmetry conditions based on a discrete group of isometries. This allows for the application of counting methods which admit rigorous upper and…

We use $p$-rank bounds on partial ovoids and the classical bounds on Ramsey numbers to obtain upper bounds on the size of partial $m$-ovoids in finite classical polar spaces. These bounds imply non-existence of $m$-ovoids for new infinite…

We study microlocal limits of plane waves on noncompact Riemannian manifolds (M,g) which are either Euclidean or asymptotically hyperbolic with curvature -1 near infinity. The plane waves E(z,\xi) are functions on M parametrized by the…
