We show that on any translation surface, if a regular point is contained in a simple closed geodesic, then it is contained in infinitely many simple closed geodesics, whose directions are dense in the unit circle. Moreover, the set of…

We study the action of translation on the spaces of uniformly bounded continuous functions on the real line which are uniformly band-limited in a compact interval. We prove that two intervals themselves will decide if two spaces are…

Given a geodesic line $\gamma$ the hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^n$ we formulate a necessary and sufficient condition for a function along this geodesic which measure the mean curvature of totally umbilical leaves of a foliation orthogonal to…

We derive results on the distribution of directions of saddle connections on translation surfaces using only the Birkhoff ergodic theorem applied to the geodesic flow on the moduli space of translation surfaces. Our techniques, together…

In this paper, we prove a pseudolocality-type theorem for $\mathcal L$-complete noncompact Ricci flow which may not have bounded sectional curvature; with the help of it we study the uniqueness of the Ricci flow on noncompact manifolds. In…

In the present work we consider the behavior of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of the 2-torus $T^2$ for an arbitrary Riemannian metric. A natural non-negative quantity which measures the complexity of the geodesic flow is the…

Using geodesic length functions, we define a natural family of real codimension 1 subvarieties of Teichm\"uller space, namely the subsets where the lengths of two distinct simple closed geodesics are of equal length. We investigate the…

Geodesic flows emanating from an arbitrary point $\mathscr{P}$ in a manifold $\mathscr{M}$ carry important information about the geometric properties of $\mathscr{M}$. These flows are characterized by Synge's world function and van Vleck…

We consider circles on a translation surface $X$, consisting of points joined to a common center point by a geodesic of length $R$. We show that as $R \to \infty$ these circles distribute to a measure on $X$ which is equivalent to the area.…

We discuss the property of the number density of a fluid of particles living in a curved surface without boundaries to be constant in the thermodynamic limit. In particular we find a sufficient condition for the density to be constant along…

A Riemann surface $X$ is parabolic if and only if the geodesic flow (for the hyperbolic metric) on the unit tangent bundle of $X$ is ergodic. Consider a Riemann surface $X$ with a single topological end and a sequence $\alpha_n$ of pairwise…

We prove upper bounds for the Morse index and number of intersections of min-max geodesics achieving the $p$-widths of a closed surface. A key tool in our analysis is a proof that for a generic set of metrics, the tangent cone at any vertex…
