Given an infinite connected graph, a way to randomly perturb its metric is to assign random i.i.d. lengths to the edges. An open question attributed to Furstenberg is whether there exists a two-sided infinite geodesic in first passage…
We present a metric version of weak proper discontinuity (WPD) for pseudo-Anosov maps on surfaces. As an application, we show that there are plenty of quasi-morphisms on the homeomorphism group of a torus or a hyperbolic surface that are…
In this paper, we first investigate weighted Minkowski type inequalities for nearly spherical sets in space forms, focusing on the sets that are $C^1$-close to geodesic spheres. Our results generalize the work of \cite{G22} by incorporating…
Poisson processes of so-called $\lambda$-geodesic hyperplanes in $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space are studied for $0\leq\lambda\leq 1$. The case $\lambda=0$ corresponds to genuine geodesic hyperplanes, the case $\lambda=1$ to horospheres…
In 2004, Taubes introduced the space of minimal hyperbolic germs with elements consisting of the first and second fundamental form of an equivariant immersed minimal disk in hyperbolic 3-space. Herein, we initiate a further study of this…
In this PhD Thesis we investigate the geometry of random fields on compact Riemannian manifolds, in particular the two-dimensional sphere. In the first part, we characterize isotropic Gaussian fields on homogeneous spaces of a compact group…
We introduce a coarse combinatorial description of the Weil-Petersson distance d_WP(X,Y) between two finite area hyperbolic Riemann surfaces X and Y. The combinatorics reveal a connection between Riemann surfaces and hyperbolic 3-manifolds…
The core focus of this series of two articles is the study of the distribution of the length spectrum of closed hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$, sampled randomly with respect to the Weil-Petersson probability measure. In the first article,…
We study the fluctuations of smooth linear statistics of Laplace eigenvalues of compact hyperbolic surfaces lying in short energy windows, when averaged over the moduli space of surfaces of a given genus. The average is taken with respect…
Let $X_1,..., X_n$ be independent, uniformly random points from $[0,1]^2$. We prove that if we add edges between these points one by one by order of increasing edge length then, with probability tending to 1 as the number of points $n$…
For many measure preserving dynamical systems $(\Omega,T,m)$ the successive hitting times to a small set is well approximated by a Poisson process on the real line. In this work we define a new process obtained from recording not only the…
We study the distribution of the minimum spacing between eigenvalues of a random n by n unitary matrix. The minimum spacing scales as $n^{-4/3}$, not $n^{-2}$ as would be the case for n independent points on the unit circle, illustrating…
Given $\alpha \in (0, \infty)$ and $r \in (0, \infty)$, let ${\cal D}_{r, \alpha}$ be the disc of radius $r$ in the hyperbolic plane having curvature $-\alpha^2$. Consider the Poisson point process having uniform intensity density on ${\cal…
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…
We prove a sharp area estimate for minimal submanifolds that pass through a prescribed point in a geodesic ball in hyperbolic space, in any dimension and codimension. In certain cases, we also prove the corresponding estimate in the sphere.…
We construct geometrically infinite hyperbolic surfaces supporting horocycles with tailored recurrence properties. In particular, we obtain the first examples of non-trivial minimal horocyclic orbit closures and of infinite locally-finite…
In this article we provide an integration formula making us able to integrate random variables defined on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces which involve the lengths of closed geodesics belonging to a fixed arbitrary mapping class…
Surfaces of general type with positive second Segre number $s_2:=c_1^2-c_2>0$ are known by results of Bogomolov to be quasi-hyperbolic i.e. with finitely many rational and elliptic curves. These results were extended by McQuillan in his…
We study the asymptotic behavior of short cycles of random permutations with cycle weights. More specifically, on a specially constructed metric space whose elements encode all possible cycles, we consider a point process containing all…
We give a lower bound on the number of non-simple closed curves on a hyperbolic surface, given upper bounds on both length and self-intersection number. In particular, we carefully show how to construct closed geodesics on pairs of pants,…
