Minimal surfaces in the Riemannian product of surfaces of constant curvature have been considered recently, particularly as these products arise as spaces of oriented geodesics of 3-dimensional space-forms. This papers considers more…
Consider the geodesic flow on a real-analytic closed hypersurface $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, equipped with the standard Euclidean metric. The flow is entirely determined by the manifold and the Riemannian metric. Typically, geodesic flows are…
On a complete, connected, locally compact, non-compact geodesic space $(X,d)$, we assign each compact set a distance-like function. With the help of these functions, we obtain a pseudo-metric on the space of (non-empty) compact subsets of…
Splines and subdivision curves are flexible tools in the design and manipulation of curves in Euclidean space. In this paper we study generalizations of interpolating splines and subdivision schemes to the Riemannian manifold of shell…
This paper provides an analytical examination of non-radial geodesics within the context of the spatially flat Friedmann Lema\^itre Robertson Walker (FLRW) spacetime. Using the symmetry properties of the system, two constants of motion…
In this article, we study geometric aspects of semi-arithmetic Riemann surfaces by means of number theory and hyperbolic geometry. First, we show the existence of infinitely many semi-arithmetic Riemann surfaces of various shapes and prove…
We construct a Riemannian metric $g$ on $\mathbb{R}^4$ (arbitrarily close to the euclidean one) and a smooth simple closed curve $\Gamma\subset \mathbb R^4$ such that the unique area minimizing surface spanned by $\Gamma$ has infinite…
Solids built out of active components can exhibit non-reciprocal elastic coefficients that give rise to non-Hermitian wave phenomena. Here, we investigate non-Hermitian effects present at the boundary of two-dimensional active elastic media…
We construct an example of a Teichmueller geodesic ray whose limit set in Thurston boundary of Teichmueller space is a d-dimensional simplex.
We explore the influence of geometry in the critical behavior of sparse long-range spin models. We examine a model with interactions that can be continuously tuned to induce distinct changes in the metric, topology, and dimensionality of…
We present a differential geometric framework for the motion of a non-Brownian particle in the presence of fixed obstacles in a quiescent fluid, in the deterministic Stokesian regime. While the Helmholtz Minimum Dissipation Theorem suggests…
The mapping class group of a surface $\S$ acts on the set of closed geodesics on $\S$. This action preserves self-intersection number. In this paper, we count the orbits of curves with at most $K$ self-intersections, for each $K \geq 1$.…
We study some Riemannian metrics on the space of regular smooth curves in the plane, viewed as the orbit space of maps from $S^1$ to the plane modulo the group of diffeomorphisms of $S^1$, acting as reparameterizations. In particular we…
Perturbed geodesics are trajectories of particles moving on a semi-Riemannian manifold in the presence of a potential. Our purpose here is to extend to perturbed geodesics on semi-Riemannian manifolds the well known Morse Index Theorem.…
This article is concerned with the metric study of a construction of G\'erardin of the action of the boundary at infinity of the space of norms on a non-Archimedean vector space, and its generalisation to graded algebras. Namely, given…
We consider rational maps $f$ on the Riemann sphere $\widehat {\mathbb{C}}$ with an $f$-invariant set $P\subset \widehat {\mathbb{C}}$ of four marked points containing the postcritical set of $f$. We show that the dynamics of the…
We prove that in metric measure spaces where the entropy functional is K-convex along every Wasserstein geodesic any optimal transport between two absolutely continuous measures with finite second moments lives on a non-branching set of…
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…
Our main point of focus is the set of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. For any fixed integer $k$, we are interested in the set of all closed geodesics with at least $k$ (but possibly more) self-intersections. Among these, we…
The Riemannian manifold of curves with a Sobolev metric is an important and frequently studied model in the theory of shape spaces. Various numerical approaches have been proposed to compute geodesics, but so far elude a rigorous…
