This thesis is dedicated to random walks on spaces with non-positive curvature. In particular, we study the case of group actions on CAT(0) spaces that admit contracting elements, that is, whose properties mimic those of loxodromic…
This (quasi-)survey addresses the quasi-isometry classification of locally compact groups, with an emphasis on amenable hyperbolic locally compact groups. This encompasses the problem of quasi-isometry classification of homogeneous…
In this article we establish $C^{3,\alpha}$-regularity of the reduced boundary of stationary points of a nonlocal isoperimetric problem in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, stationary points satisfy the corresponding…
Using a non-negative curvature condition, we prove the complete version of modified log-Sobolev inequalities for central Markov semigroups on various compact quantum groups, including group von Neumann algebras, free orthogonal group and…
In this paper we prove the following. Let $\Sigma$ be an $n$--dimensional closed hyperbolic manifold and let $g$ be a Riemannian metric on $\Sigma \times \mathbb{S}^1$. Given an upper bound on the volumes of unit balls in the Riemannian…
We prove that the Gromov boundary of every hyperbolic group is homeomorphic to some Markov compactum. Our reasoning is based on constructing a sequence of covers of $\partial G$, which is quasi-$G$-invariant wrt. the ball $N$-type (defined…
We prove that every family of isospectral surfaces with discrete length spectrum arising from Sunada's method is finite. Furthermore, by introducing the topological notion of surfaces with self-duplicating ends, we show that every finite…
We prove pointwise bounds for $L^2$ eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on locally symmetric spaces with $\mathbb{Q}$-rank one if the corresponding eigenvalues lie below the continuous part of the $L^2$ spectrum. Furthermore, we…
We prove that if $Y$ is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence of compact manifolds, $M^n_i$, with a uniform lower bound on Ricci curvature and a uniform upper bound on diameter, then $Y$ has a universal cover. We then show that, for $i$…
By Gromov's compactness theorem for metric spaces, every uniformly compact sequence of metric spaces admits an isometric embedding into a common compact metric space in which a subsequence converges with respect to the Hausdorff distance.…
We study sequences of oriented Riemannian manifolds with boundary and, more generally, integral current spaces and metric spaces with boundary. {\color{blue}For a metric space, we define its boundary to be the completion of the space minus…
For a proper, geodesic, Gromov hyperbolic metric space X, a discrete subgroup of isometries \Gamma whose limit set is uniformly perfect, and a disjoint collection of horoballs {H_j}, we show that the set of limit points badly approximable…
We provide integral curvature bounds for compact Riemannian manifolds that allow isometric immersions into a Euclidean space with low codimension in terms of the Betti numbers.
Classical Kleinian groups are discrete subgroups of isometries of H n. The well-known theory of Kleinian groups starts with the definition of their associated limit set in the boundary of H n , and includes the geometric properties of the…
We investigate the symmetries of the near horizon geometry of extremal stationary black holes in four dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to abelian gauge fields and neutral scalars. Careful consideration of the equations of motion and the…
In this paper we present a rigidity theorem for locally isometric hypersurfaces with a curvature restriction in de Sitter space. This is an analogue to the case for Riemannian space forms given by Guan and Shen in [5].
We say that a metric space $X$ is $(\epsilon,G)$-homogeneous if $G<Iso(X)$ is a discrete group of isometries with $diam(X/G)<\epsilon$.\ A sequence of $(\epsilon_i,G_i)$-homogeneous spaces $X_i$ with $\epsilon_i\to0$ is called a sequence of…
On a fairly general class of Riemannian manifolds M, we prove lower estimates in terms of the Ricci curvature for the spectral bound (when M has infinite volume) and for the spectral gap (when M has finite volume) for the Laplace-Beltrami…
We prove asymptotically isometric, coarsely geodesic metrics on a toral relatively hyperbolic group are coarsely equal. The theorem applies to all lattices in SO(n,1). This partly verifies a conjecture by Margulis. In the case of hyperbolic…
This paper is the first in a series of two articles whose aim is to extend a recent result of Guillarmou-Lefeuvre on the local rigidity of the marked length spectrum from the case of compact negatively-curved Riemannian manifolds to the…
