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…

This note was written for the proceedings of the conference "Symplectic Geometry and Anosov Flows" held in Heideleberg in July 2024. It is meant as an invitation to the study of certain families of contact structures, centering around the…

We develop a geometrical micro-local analysis of contact Anosov flow, such as geodesic flow on negatively curved manifold. This micro-local analysis is based on wave-packet transform discussed in arXiv:1706.09307. The main result is that…

We prove that fibered hyperbolic $3$-manifolds carrying transitive Anosov flows are abundant. More precisely, for every $g\geq 2$, there is a finite index subgroup~$\Gamma$ of $ \mathrm{Mod}(S_g)/\mathrm{Tor}(S_g) \simeq…

Using the thermodynamics formalism, we introduce a notion of intersection for projective Anosov representations, show analyticity results for the intersection and the entropy, and rigidity results for the intersection. We use the…

We explore the construction of Legendrian spheres in contact manifolds of any dimension. Two constructions involving open books work in any contact manifold, while one introduced by Ekholm works only in $\mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$. We show that…

We define a general procedure extending surgery to manifolds with foliation or Haefliger structure. We find a single obstruction to foliation surgery along an attaching sphere. When unobstructed, the surgery can be chosen to preserve…

In a non-compact setting, the notion of hyperbolicity, and the associated structure of stable and unstable manifolds (for unbounded orbits), is highly dependent on the choice of metric used to define it. We consider the simplest version of…

This paper is devoted to studying a notion of Bott integrability for Reeb flows on contact 3-manifolds. We show, in analogy with work of Fomenko-Zieschang on Hamiltonian flows in dimension 4, that Bott-integrable Reeb flows exist precisely…

Two flows are topologically almost commensurable if, up to removing finitely many periodic orbits and taking finite coverings, they are topologically equivalent. We prove that all suspensions of automorphisms of the 2-dimensional torus and…

We obtain limit theorems (Stable Laws and Central Limit Theorems, both Gaussian and non-Gaussian) and thermodynamic properties for a class of non-uniformly hyperbolic flows: almost Anosov flows, constructed here. The proofs of the limit…

We introduce a generalization of the notion of Anosov representations by restricting to invariant closed geodesic subflows. Examples of such representations include many non-discrete representations with good geometric properties, such as…

We study pairs of Engel structures on four-manifolds whose intersection has constant rank one and which define the same even contact structure, but induce different orientations on it. We establish a correspondence between such pairs of…

A smooth Anosov flow on a closed oriented three manifold $M$ gives rise to a Liouville structure on the four manifold $[-1,1]\times M$ which is not Weinstein, by a construction of Mitsumatsu and Hozoori. We call it the associated Anosov…

In this article, we study the dynamics of geodesic flows on Riemannian (not necessarily compact) manifolds with no conjugate points. We prove the Anosov Closing Lemma, the local product structure, and the transitivity of the geodesic flows…

For any $C^r$ contact Anosov flow with $r\ge 3$, we construct a scale of Hilbert spaces, which are embedded in the space of distributions on the phase space and contain all $C^r$ functions, such that the transfer operators for the flow…

Quasigeodesic behavior of flow lines is a very useful property in the study of Anosov flows. Not every Anosov flow in dimension three is quasigeodesic. In fact up to orbit equivalence, the only previously known examples of quasigeodesic…

We provide a 3 dimensional contact geometric characterization of Anosov 3-flows based on interactions with Reeb dynamics. We investigate basic properties of the space of the resulting geometries and in particular show that such space is…

We prove that the geodesic flow on a locally CAT(-1) metric space which is compact, or more generally convex cocompact with non-elementary fundamental group, can be coded by a suspension flow over an irreducible shift of finite type with…

Twists of contact structures in dimension 3 and higher are studied in this paper from a viewpoint of contact round surgery. Three kinds of new modifications of contact structures which are higher-dimensional generalizations of the…
