In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler $4$-dimensional sphere $(S^4,F)$ with reversibility $\lambda$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $\frac{25}{9}\left(\frac{\lambda}{1+\lambda}\right)^2<K\le 1$ with $\lambda<\frac{3}{2}$, either…

Let $\mathbb{M}^{2}$ be a complete non compact orientable surface of non negative curvature. We prove in this paper some theorems involving parabolicity of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{M}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}$. First, using a…

We give $L^2$-bounds on the change in the complex projective structure on the boundary of conformally compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with incompressible boundary after drilling short geodesics. We show that the change is bounded by a…

A classical result due to Segre states that on a real cubic surface in ${\mathbb P}^3_\R$ there exists two kinds of real lines: elliptic and hyperbolic lines. These two kinds of real lines are defined in an intrinsic way, i.e., their…

Let $M=S^n/ \Gamma$ and $h \in \pi_1(M)$ be a non-trivial element of finite order $p$, where the integers $n, p\geq2$ and $\Gamma$ is a finite abelian group which acts on the sphere freely and isometrically, therefore $M$ is diffeomorphic…

We prove a McShane-type identity - a series, expressed in terms of geodesic lengths, that sums to 2\pi for any closed hyperbolic surface with one distinguished point. To do so, we prove a generalized Birman-Series theorem showing that the…

This paper contains a purely topological theorem and a geometric application. The topological theorem states that if M is a simple closed orientable 3-manifold such that \pi_1(M) contains a genus g surface group and H_1(M;Z/2Z) has rank at…

Hyperbolic tilings are natural infinite planar graphs where each vertex has degree $q$ and each face has $p$ edges for some $\frac1p+\frac1q<\frac12$. We study the structure of shortest paths in such graphs. We show that given a set of $n$…

For a graph $\Gamma$, a positive integer $s$ and a subgroup $G\leq \Aut(\Gamma)$, we prove that $G$ is transitive on the set of $s$-arcs of $\Gamma$ if and only if $\Gamma$ has girth at least $2(s-1)$ and $G$ is transitive on the set of…

We construct cross sections for the geodesic flow on the orbifolds $\Gamma\backslash H$ which are tailor-made for the requirements of transfer operator approaches to Maass cusp forms and Selberg zeta functions. Here, $H$ denotes the…
