In this paper, we study the restriction of an irreducible unitary representation $\pi$ of the universal covering $\widetilde{Sp}_{2n}(\mb R)$ to a Heisenberg maximal parabolic group $\tilde P$. We prove that if $\pi|_{\tilde P}$ is…

This paper examines the representations of hyperbolic integral homology spheres into the binary icosahedral group $2I$. We specifically give a geometric meaning to $2I$ representations by relating them to Larsen's notion of quotient…

We construct examples of inhomogeneous isoparametric real hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic spaces.

We generalise the constructions of Brady and Lodha to give infinite families of hyperbolic groups, each having a finitely presented subgroup that is not of type $F_3$. By calculating the Euler characteristic of the hyperbolic groups…

We construct first examples of discrete geometrically finite subgroups of PU(2,1) which contain parabolic elements, and are isomorphic to surface groups.

We provide a full classification of complete maximal $p$-dimensional spacelike submanifolds in the pseudo-hyperbolic space $\mathbf{H}^{p,q}$, and we study its applications to Teichm\"uller theory and to the theory of Anosov representations…

We construct examples of quasi-isometric embeddings of word hyperbolic groups into $\mathsf{SL}(d,\mathbb{R})$ for $d \geqslant 5$ which are not limits of Anosov representations into $\mathsf{SL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. As a consequence, we…

We consider in this work representations of the of the fundamental group of the 3-punctured sphere in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$ such that the boundary loops are mapped to ${\rm PU}(2,1)$. We provide a system of coordinates on the corresponding…

Dehn fillings for relatively hyperbolic groups generalize the topological Dehn surgery on a non-compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold such as a hyperbolic knot complement. We prove a rigidity result saying that if two non-elementary relatively…

Let $ M$ be a cusped hyperbolic $ 3$-manifold, e.g. a knot complement. Thurston showed that the space of deformations of its fundamental group in $ \mathrm {PGL}(2,\mathbf {C})$ (up to conjugation) is of complex dimension the number $ \nu $…

In this article, we show that there exist discrete isometry groups of the $2$- and $3$-dimensional complex hyperbolic spaces with critical exponents arbitrarily close to but strictly smaller than the maximum possible value. This result…

We show that for a representation of the fundamental group of a triangulated closed 3-manifold (not necessarily hyperbolic) into $\PSL$ so that any edge loop has non-trivial image under the representation, there exist uncountably many…

Let ${\bf H}_{\mathbb C}^n$ be the $n$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space and ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ be the (holomorphic) isometry group. An element $g$ in ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ is called loxodromic or hyperbolic if it has exactly two fixed points on…

We prove that the Fibonacci quantum representations $\rho_{g,n}:\rm{Mod}_{g,n}\to \rm{PU}(p,q)$ for $(g,n)\in\{(0,4),(0,5),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1)\}$ are holonomy representations of complex hyperbolic structures on some compactifications of the…

Anosov representations of word hyperbolic groups into higher-rank semisimple Lie groups are representations with finite kernel and discrete image that have strong analogies with convex cocompact representations into rank-one Lie groups.…

We identify type-preserving representations $\phi: \pi_1(\Sigma)\to \mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ of the fundamental group of every punctured surface $\Sigma = \Sigma_{g,p}$ that are not Fuchsian yet send all non-peripheral simple closed…

Let $S$ be a surface of genus $g$ at least $2$. A representation $\rho:\pi_1S\longrightarrow \text{PSL}_2\Bbb R$ is said to be purely hyperbolic if its image consists only of hyperbolic elements other than the identity. We may wonder under…

We study decompositions of complex hyperbolic isometries as products of involutions. We show that PU(2,1) has involution length 4 and commutator length 1, and that for all $n \geqslant 3$ PU($n$,1) has involution length at most 8.

In this paper, we prove restriction estimates for hyperbolic paraboloids in dimensions $n>=5$ by the polynomial partitioning method.

Let X be a proper hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let G be a closed subgroup of the isometry group Iso(X) of X. We show that if G is not amenable then its second continuous bounded cohomology group with coefficients the regular…
