We prove that any graph of multicurves satisfying certain natural properties is either hyperbolic, relatively hyperbolic, or thick. Further, this geometric characterization is determined by the set of subsurfaces that intersect every vertex…
Periodic geodesics on the modular surface correspond to periodic orbits of the geodesic flow in its unit tangent bundle $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The complement of any finite number of orbits is a…
We study the geometry of hyperbolic cone surfaces, possibly with cusps or geodesic boundaries. We prove that any hyperbolic cone structure on a surface of non-exceptional type is determined up to isotopy by the geodesic lengths of a finite…
Given a hyperbolic surface $\Sigma$ of genus $g$ with $r$ cusps, Mirzakhani proved that the number of closed geodesics of length at most $L$ and of a given type is asymptotic to $cL^{6g-6+2r}$ for some $c>0$. Since a closed geodesic…
We consider closed hypersurfaces smoothly immersed in hyperbolic manifolds up to homotopy and commensurability. We prove that if a closed hyperbolic manifold $M$ contains a sequence of asymptotically geodesic hypersurfaces, then $\pi_1(M)$…
In this paper, we explicitly construct large classes of incommensurable hyperbolic knot complements with the same volume and the same initial (complex) length spectrum. Furthermore, we show that these knot complements are the only knot…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the space of embedded, which may be improper, free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with uniform area and Morse index upper bound is compact in the sense of smoothly graphical…
This paper continues a geometric study of Harvey's Complex of Curves, whose ultimate goal is to apply the theory of hyperbolic spaces and groups to algorithmic questions for the Mapping Class Group and geometric properties of Kleinian…
We discuss two generalizations of the collar lemma. The first is the stable neighborhood theorem which says that a (not necessarily simple) closed geodesic in a hyperbolic surface has a \lq\lq stable neighborhood\rq\rq whose width only…
We prove the existence of a non-linear recursive relation for the volume of the moduli space of hyperbolic spheres with conical points or geodesic boundaries. This relation generalizes a result by Zograf, where the same was derived for…
We formulate the Asymptotic Length-Saturation Conjecture on the length sets of closed geodesics on hyperbolic manifolds whose fundamental groups are subarithmetic, that is, contained in an arithmetic group. We prove the first instance of…
We study the distribution of geometrically and topologically nearly geodesic random surfaces in a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M. In particular, we describe PSL(2,R) invariant measures on the Grassmann bundle G(M) which arise as limits of…
The moduli space of smooth real plane quartic curves consists of six connected components. We prove that each of these components admits a real hyperbolic structure. These connected components correspond to the six real forms of a certain…
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 space ML(F) of measured geodesic laminations on a given closed hyperbolic surface F has a canonical linear structure arising in fact from different sources in 2-dimensional hyperbolic (earthquake theory) or complex projective (grafting)…
By a geodesic subspace of a metric space $X$ we mean a subset $A$ of $X$ such that any two points in $A$ can be connected by a geodesic in $A$. It is easy to check that a geodesic metric space $X$ is an $\mathbb{R}$-tree (that is, a…
We derive basic differential geometric formulae for surfaces in hyperbolic space represented as envelopes of horospheres. The dual notion of parallel hypersurfaces is also studied. The representation is applied to prove existence and…
The study of geometric group theory has suggested several theorems related to subdivision tilings that have a natural hyperbolic structure. However, few examples exist. We construct subdivision tilings for the complement of every…
This is a tale describing the large scale geometry of Euclidean plane domains with their hyperbolic or quasihyperbolic distances. We prove that in any hyperbolic plane domain, hyperbolic and quasihyperbolic quasi-geodesics are the same…
In this article, we revisit classical length identities enjoyed by simple closed curves on hyperbolic surfaces. We state and prove the rigidity of such identities over Teichm\"uller spaces. Due to this rigidity, certain collections of…
