In this paper we will prove Hadamard-Stoker type theorems in the following ambient spaces: $\man ^n \times \r$, where $\man ^n $ is a $1/4-$pinched manifold, and certain Killing submersions, e.g., Berger spheres and Heisenberg spaces. That…

In this paper we prove that for all $n=4k-2$, $k\ge2$ there exists a closed smooth complex hyperbolic manifold $M$ with real dimension $n$ having non-trivial $\pi_1(\mathcal{T}^{<0}(M))$. $\mathcal{T}^{<0}(M)$ denotes the Teichm\"uller…
