In this paper, we are interested in short homologically and homotopically independent loops based at the same point on Riemannian surfaces and metric graphs. First, we show that for every closed Riemannian surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and…
Given a Riemannian surface, we consider a naturally embedded graph which captures part of the topology and geometry of the surface. By studying this graph, we obtain results in three different directions. First, we find bounds on the…
We apply topological methods to study eigenvalues of the Laplacian on closed hyperbolic surfaces. For any closed hyperbolic surface $S$ of genus $g$, we get a geometric lower bound on ${\lambda_{2g-2}}(S)$: ${\lambda_{2g-2}}(S) > 1/4 +…
We apply topological methods to study the smallest non-zero number $\lambda_1$ in the spectrum of the Laplacian on finite area hyperbolic surfaces. For closed hyperbolic surfaces of genus two we show that the set $\{S \in {\mathcal{M}_2}:…
In this paper we obtain a bound on the number of isometry classes of finite area hyperbolic surfaces which are length isospectral to a given surface depending only on the topological type of the surface and the length of the shortest closed…
We study topological lower bounds on the number of small Laplacian eigenvalues on hyperbolic surfaces. We show there exist constants $a,b>0$ such that when $(g+1)<a\frac{n}{\log n}$, any hyperbolic surface of genus-$g$ with $n$ cusps has at…
The goal of this work is to give new quantitative results about the distribution of semi-arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces in the moduli space of closed hyperbolic surfaces. We show that two coverings of genus $g$ of a fixed arithmetic surface…
On a surface with a Finsler metric, we investigate the asymptotic growth of the number of closed geodesics of length less than $L$ which minimize length among all geodesic multicurves in the same homology class. An important class of…
On a hyperbolic Riemann surface, given two simple closed geodesics that intersect $n$ times, we address the question of a sharp lower bound $L_n$ on the length attained by the longest of the two geodesics. We show the existence of a surface…
Let $(M,g)$ be a genus $m$ surface with boundary $\Gamma$ and DN map $\Lambda$. Introduce the Schottky double $2M$ of $(M,g)$ and denote by $Sys(2M)$ the length of the shortest closed geodesics in the hyperbolic metrics on $2M$. We prove…
For each $g \ge 2$, we prove existence of a computable constant $\epsilon(g) > 0$ such that if $S$ is a strongly irreducible Heegaard surface of genus $g$ in a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ and $\gamma$ is a simple geodesic of length…
This paper establishes the existence of a gap for the stable length spectrum on a hyperbolic manifold. If M is a hyperbolic n-manifold, for every positive e there is a positive d depending only on n and on e such that an element of pi_1(M)…
In this article we study the differences of two consecutive eigenvalues $\lambda_{i}-\lambda_{i-1}$ up to $i=2g-2$ for the Laplacian on hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$, and show that the supremum of such spectral gaps over the moduli space…
Let $X$ be a closed, connected, oriented surface of genus $g$, with a hyperbolic metric chosen at random according to the Weil--Petersson measure on the moduli space of Riemannian metrics. Let $\lambda_1=\lambda_1(X)$ bethe first non-zero…
The main goal of this note is to show that the study of closed hyperbolic surfaces with maximum length systole is in fact the study of surfaces with maximum length homological systole. The same result is shown to be true for once-punctured…
Let $S$ be a noncompact, finite area hyperbolic surface of type $(g, n)$. Let $\Delta_S$ denote the Laplace operator on $S$. As $S$ varies over the {\it moduli space} ${\mathcal{M}_{g, n}}$ of finite area hyperbolic surfaces of type $(g,…
In this article, we study the second eigenvalues of closed hyperbolic surfaces for large genus. We show that for every closed hyperbolic surface $X_g$ of genus $g$ $(g\geq 3)$, up to uniform positive constants multiplications, the second…
We give upper bounds for $L^p$ norms of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on compact hyperbolic surfaces in terms of a parameter depending on the growth rate of the number of short geodesic loops passing through a point. When the genus $g \to…
We show that every sequence of torsion-free arithmetic congruence lattices in $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb R)$ or $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb C)$ satisfies a strong quantitative version of the Limit Multiplicity property. We deduce that for $R>0$ in…
We prove (Theorem~1.5) that there exists a constant $\Lambda > 0$ so that if $M$ is a $(\mu,d)$-generic complete hyperbolic 3-manifold of volume $\vol[M] < \infty$ and $\Sigma \subset M$ is a Heegaard surface of genus $g(\Sigma) > \Lambda…
