The geometric approach to optimal transport and information theory has triggered the interpretation of probability densities as an infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The most studied Riemannian structures are Otto's metric, yielding…

It is shown that the renormalisation group flow in coupling constant space can be interpreted in terms of a dynamical equation for the couplings analogous to viscous fluid flow under the action of a potential. For free scalar field theory…

Given an infinite connected graph, a way to randomly perturb its metric is to assign random i.i.d. lengths to the edges. An open question attributed to Furstenberg is whether there exists a two-sided infinite geodesic in first passage…

We study random walks on the three-strand braid group $B_3$, and in particular compute the drift, or average topological complexity of a random braid, as well as the probability of trivial entanglement. These results involve the study of…

We discuss the possible relationship between geodesic flow, integrability and supersymmetry, using fermionic extensions of the KdV equation, as well as the recently introduced supersymmetrisation of the Camassa-Holm equation, as…

This paper presents several versions of the Ancona inequality for finitely supported, irreducible random walks on non-amenable groups. We first study a class of Morse subsets with narrow points and prove the Ancona inequality around these…

Hyperbolic curvature flow is a geometric evolution equation that in the plane can be viewed as the natural hyperbolic analogue of curve shortening flow. It was proposed by Gurtin and Podio-Guidugli (1991) to model certain wave phenomena in…

We study planar domains $G$ equipped with a hyperbolic type metric and approximate geodesics that join two points $x,y \in G$ and their lengths. We present an algorithm that enables one to approximate the shortest distance in polygonal…

Given a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and a geodesic $\gamma$, the perpendicular part of the derivative of the geodesic flow $\phi_g^t: SM \rightarrow SM$ along $\gamma$ is a linear symplectic map. We give an elementary proof of the following…

For a proper, Gromov-hyperbolic metric space and a discrete, non-elementary, group of isometries, we define a natural subset of the limit set at infinity of the group called the ergodic limit set. The name is motivated by the fact that…

In this work, we introduce a natural class of chaotic flows on non-compact manifolds, called H-flows, which includes geodesic flows on non-compact manifolds with pinched negative curvature. We show that, under the additional assumption,…

In this paper we prove that for an ergodic hyperbolic measure $\omega$ of a $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism $f$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$, there is an $\omega$-full measured set $\widetilde{\Lambda}$ such that for every invariant…

If $X$ is a geodesic metric space and $x_1,x_2,x_3\in X$, a {\it geodesic triangle} $T=\{x_1,x_2,x_3\}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_1x_2]$, $[x_2x_3]$ and $[x_3x_1]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is $\delta$-\emph{hyperbolic} $($in the…

We develop a paradifferential approach for studying non-smooth hyperbolic dynamics and related non-linear PDE from a microlocal point of view. As an application, we describe the microlocal regularity, i.e the $H^s$ wave-front set for all…

Suppose $G$ is a finitely generated group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. Let $\partial_{c}^{\mathcal{F}\mathcal{Q}}G$ denote the contracting boundary of $G$ with the topology of fellow travelling quasi-geodesics defined by Cashen-Mackay…

Consider $G=SL_2(\mathbb{Z})/\{\pm I\}$ acting on the complex upper half plane $H$ by $h_M(z)=\frac{az+b}{cz+d},$ for $M \in G$. Let $D=\{z \in H: |z|\geq 1, |\Re(z)|\leq 1/2\}$. We consider the set $\mathcal{E} \subset G$ with the $9$…

In this article, we combine V. Arnold's celebrated approach via the Euler-Arnold equation -- describing the geodesic flow on a Lie group equipped with a right-invariant metric \cite{Arnold66} -- with his formulation of the motion of a…

A geodesic in a graph G is a shortest path between two vertices of G. For a specific function e(n) of n, we define an almost geodesic cycle C in G to be a cycle in which for every two vertices u and v in C, the distance d_G(u,v) is at least…

Gauss' classical reduction theory for indefinite binary quadratic forms over $\mathbb{Z}$ has originally been proven by means of purely algebraic and arithmetic considerations. It was later discovered that this reduction theory is closely…
