This expository article discusses some connections between the geometry of a hyperbolic 3-manifold homotopy-equivalent to a surface, and the combinatorial properties of its end invariants. In particular a necessary and sufficient condition…

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…

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…

We show that the number of simple closed geodesics of length bounded by L on a hyperbolic surface of genus g with c cusps and b boundary components grows roughly like L^{6g+2b+2c-6}. This has been conjectured for some time.
