Random walks on spaces with hyperbolic properties tend to sublinearly track geodesic rays which point in certain hyperbolic-like directions. Qing-Rafi-Tiozzo recently introduced the sublinearly Morse boundary and proved that this boundary…

We analyze the disordered Riemannian geometry resulting from random perturbations of the Euclidean metric. We focus on geodesics, the paths traced out by a particle traveling in this quenched random environment. By taking the point of the…

This note discusses some geometrically defined seminorms on the group $\Ham(M, \omega)$ of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$, giving conditions under which they are nondegenerate and explaining their…

We prove limit theorems for the homological winding of geodesic rays distributed via a harmonic measure on a Gromov hyperbolic space. We obtain applications to the inverse problem for the harmonic measure, and winding statistics for…

We study totally umbilic isometric immersions between Riemannian manifolds. First, we provide a novel characterization of the totally umbilic isometric immersions with parallel normalized mean curvature vector, i.e., those having nonzero…

We consider a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M endowed with a right skew-circulant tensor structure S, which is an isometry with respect to the metric g and the fourth power of S is minus identity. We determine a class of manifolds (M,…

As a generalization of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions, we introduce anti-invariant Riemannian maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds. We give examples and investigate the geometry of foliations which are arisen…

We show that the conformal Penrose limit is an ordinary plane wave limit in a higher dimensional framework which resolves the spacetime singularity. The higher dimensional framework is provided by Ricci-flat manifolds which are of the form…

The motion of spinless particles in Riemann-Cartan (RC) $U_{4}$ and teleparallel spacetimes is revisited on the light of gravitational waves hitting on the spinless test particles. It is shown that in the case Cartan contortion is totally…
