For each $g \ge 2$, we prove existence of a computable constant $\epsilon(g) > 0$ such that if $S$ is a strongly irreducible Heegaard surface of genus $g$ in a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ and $\gamma$ is a simple geodesic of length…

Often it is possible to equip the space of all cone geodesics of a strongly convex cone structure with the structure of a smooth contact manifold. This generalizes the analogous notions for the space of light rays of a Lorentzian spacetime.…

It is shown that every non-compact hyperbolic manifold of finite volume has a finite cover admitting a geodesic ideal triangulation. Also, every hyperbolic manifold of finite volume with non-empty, totally geodesic boundary has a finite…

In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…

Let $\omega$ be a point in the upper half plane, and let $\Gamma$ be a discrete, finite covolume subgroup of $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. We conjecture an explicit formula for the pair correlation of the angles between geodesic rays of the…

The main result is the construction of ergodic transversal measures of full support on the space of all k-surfaces of a compact hyperbolic 3-manifold. This space is a laminated space, each of its leaf being identified with a "complete"…

For any hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with totally geodesic boundary, there are finitely many boundary slopes for essential immersed surfaces of a given genus. There is a uniform bound for the number of such boundary slopes if the genus of…

We examine closed geodesics in the quotient of hyperbolic three space by the discrete group of isometries SL(2,Z[i]). There is a correspondence between closed geodesics in the manifold, the complex continued fractions originally studied by…

We show the equivalence of several characterizations of relative hyperbolicity for metric spaces, and obtain extra information about geodesics in a relatively hyperbolic space. We apply this to characterize hyperbolically embedded subgroups…

The set \[ \Gamma {\stackrel{\rm def}{=}} \{(z+w,zw):|z|\leq 1,|w|\leq 1\} \subset {\mathbb{C}}^2 \] has intriguing complex-geometric properties; it has a 3-parameter group of automorphisms, its distinguished boundary is a ruled surface…

Recently, it is shown that each regular homogeneous Finsler space $M$ admits at least one homogeneous geodesic through any point $o\in M$. The purpose of this article is to study the existence of homogeneous geodesics on singular…

We classify totally geodesic submanifolds of Damek-Ricci spaces and show that they are either homogeneous (such submanifolds are known to be "smaller" Damek-Ricci spaces) or isometric to rank-one symmetric spaces of negative curvature. As a…

We study the structure of infinite geodesics in the Planar Stochastic Hyperbolic Triangulations $\mathbb{T}_{\lambda}$, which are the hyperbolic analogs of the UIPT. We prove that these geodesics form a supercritical Galton--Watson tree…
