We establish a global rigidity theorem for Riemannian metrics without conjugate points on three-manifolds of the form $M = \Sigma \times S^1$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact orientable surface of genus at least 2. The main result states that…

In this paper, we prove that if the geodesic flow of a complete manifold without conjugate points with sectional curvatures bounded below by $-c^2$ is of Anosov type, then the constant of contraction of the flow is $\geq e^{-c}$. Moreover,…

Let $M$ be a closed 3-manifold admitting a finite cover of index n along the fibers over the unit tangent bundle of a closed surface. We prove that if n is odd, there is only one Anosov flow on M up to orbital equivalence, and if n is even,…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact, orientable surface of genus $g$, and let $\Gamma$ be a relation on $\pi_0(\partial \Sigma)$ such that the prescribed arc graph $\mathcal{A}(\Sigma,\Gamma)$ is Gromov-hyperbolic and non-trivial. We show that…

We show that a conformal connection on a closed oriented surface $\Sigma$ of negative Euler characteristic preserves precisely one conformal structure and is furthermore uniquely determined by its unparametrised geodesics. As a corollary it…

We show that the metric of nonpositively curved graph manifolds is determined by its geodesic flow. More precisely we show that if the geodesic flows of two nonpositively curved graph manifolds are $C^0$ conjugate then the spaces are…

For every non-elementary hyperbolic group, we introduce the Manhattan curve associated to any pair of left-invariant hyperbolic metrics which are quasi-isometric to a word metric. It is convex; we show that it is continuously differentiable…

This paper studies a specific metric on plane curves that has the property of being isometric to classical manifold (sphere, complex projective, Stiefel, Grassmann) modulo change of parametrization, each of these classical manifolds being…

In previous works, we proposed a method to characterize jointly self-similarity and anisotropy properties of a large class of self--similar Gaussian random fields. We provide here a mathematical analysis of our approach, proving that the…

In this paper, we prove that if the area functional of a surface $\Sigma^2$ in a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n},\bar{\omega})$ has a critical point or has a compatible stable point in the same cohomology class, then it must be…

We establish bounds on the minimal asymptotic pseudo-Anosov translation lengths on the complex of curves of orientable surfaces. In particular, for a closed surface with genus $g \geqslant 2$, we show that there are positive constants $a_1…

We prove a quantitative version of the non-uniform hyperbolicity of the Teichm\"uller geodesic flow. Namely, at each point of any Teichm\"uller flow line, we bound the infinitesimal spectral gap for variations of the Hodge norm along the…

We consider the ortho spectrum of hyperbolic surfaces with totally geodesic boundary. We show that in general the ortho spectrum does not determine the systolic length but that there are only finitely many possibilities. As a corollary we…
