For an $n$-dimensional real hyperbolic manifold $M$, we calculate the Zariski tangent space of a character variety $\chi(\pi_1(M),SL(n+1,\mathbb R)), n>2$ at Fuchisan loci to show that the tangent space consists of cubic forms. Furthermore…
Two lattice points are visible from one another if there is no lattice point on the open line segment joining them. Let $S$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^k$. The asymptotic density of the set of lattice points, visible from all points…
We show the existence of hyperbolic 4-manifolds with vanishing Seiberg-Witten invariants, addressing a conjecture of Claude LeBrun. This is achieved by showing, using results in geometric and arithmetic group theory, that certain hyperbolic…
For each surface $S$ of genus $g>2$ we construct pairs of conjugate pseudo-Anosov maps, $\varphi_1$ and $\varphi_2$, and two non-equivalent covers $p_i: \tilde S \longrightarrow S$, $i=1,2$, so that the lift of $\varphi_1$ to $\tilde S$…
Divergence functions of a metric space estimate the length of a path connecting two points $A$, $B$ at distance $\le n$ avoiding a large enough ball around a third point $C$. We characterize groups with non-linear divergence functions as…
For all $d$ belonging to a density-$1/8$ subset of the natural numbers, we give an example of a square-tiled surface conjecturally realizing the group $\mathrm{SO}^*(2d)$ in its standard representation as the Zariski-closure of a factor of…
We discuss the geometry of some arithmetic orbifolds locally isometric to a product of real hyperbolic spaces of dimension two and three, and prove that certain sequences of non-uniform orbifolds are convergent to this space in a geometric…
A polygonal surface in the pseudo-hyperbolic space H^(2,n) is a complete maximal surface bounded by a lightlike polygon in the Einstein universe Ein^(1,n) with finitely many vertices. In this article, we give several characterizations of…
The purpose of the present paper is to prove existence of super-exponentially many compact orientable hyperbolic arithmetic $n$-manifolds that are geometric boundaries of compact orientable hyperbolic $(n+1)$-manifolds, for any $n \geq 2$,…
We prove that any surjective self-morphism with $\delta_f > 1$ on a potentially dense smooth projective surface defined over a number field $K$ has densely many $L$-rational points for a finite extension $L/K$.
We establish certain uniform a priori bounds for hyperbolic components of disjoint type. As an application, we will prove that Sierpinski carpet hyperbolic components of disjoint type are bounded. Furthermore, we show that for each map $f$…
This is a survey on Zariski equisingularity. We recall its definition, main properties, and a variety of applications in Algebraic Geometry and Singularity Theory. In the first part of this survey, we consider Zariski equisingular families…
We answer the question asked by Louder, McReynolds and Patel, and prove the following statement. Let L be a RAAG, H a word quasiconvex subgroup of L, then there is a finite dimensional representation of L that separates the subgroup H in…
We describe relations between hyperbolic geometry and codimension two knots or, more exactly, between varieties of conjugacy classes of discrete faithful representations of the fundamental groups of hyperbolic n-manifolds M into…
For $i= 1,2$, let $G_i$ be cocompact groups of isometries of hyperbolic space $\Hyp^n$ of real dimension $n$, $n \geq 3$. Let $H_i \subset G_i$ be infinite index quasiconvex subgroups satisfying one of the following conditions: 1) limit set…
Generalising results of Razborov and Safin, and answering a question of Button, we prove that for every hyperbolic group there exists a constant $\alpha >0$ such that for every finite subset $U$ that is not contained in a virtually cyclic…
Periodic lattices in hyperbolic space are characterized by symmetries beyond Euclidean crystallographic groups, offering a new platform for classical and quantum waves, demonstrating great potentials for a new class of topological…
The group of direct isometries of the real n-dimensional hyperbolic space is G=SOo(n,1). This isometric action admits many differentiable compactifications into an action on the closed ball. We prove that all such compactifications are…
Let $\Ga$ be a connected, solvable linear algebraic group over a number field~$K$, let $S$ be a finite set of places of~$K$ that contains all the infinite places, and let $\theints$ be the ring of $S$-integers of~$K$. We define a certain…
Let $A$ be a finite dimensional $Q-$algebra and $\Gamma subset A$ a $Z-$order. We classify those $A$ with the property that $Z^2$ does not embed in $\mathcal{U}(\Gamma)$. We call this last property the hyperbolic property. We apply this in…
