This note aims to improve known numerical bounds proved earlier by Chen \cite{PAMS} and Chen-Hacon \cite{Chen-Hacon} and to present some new examples of smooth minimal 3-folds canonically fibred by surfaces (resp. curves) of geometric genus…

Let $M$ be a compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold with volume $V$. Let $L$ be a link such that $M\setminus L$ is hyperbolic. For any hyperbolic link $L$ in $M$, in this article, we establish an upper bound of the length of an $n^{th}$ shortest…

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…

Drawing on results of Derdzi\'nski's from the 80's, we classify conformally K\"ahler, $U(2)$-invariant, Einstein metrics on the total space of $\mathcal{O}(-m)$, for all $m \in \mathbb{N}$. This yields infinitely many $1$-parameter families…

We propose a definition for the length of closed geodesics in a globally hyperbolic maximal compact (GHMC) Anti-De Sitter manifold. We then prove that the number of closed geodesics of length less than $R$ grows exponentially fast with $R$…

We extend a recent classification of three-dimensional spatially isotropic homogeneous spacetimes to Chern--Simons theories as three-dimensional gravity theories on these spacetimes. By this we find gravitational theories for all…

We apply a study of orders in quaternion algebras, to the differential geometry of Riemann surfaces. The least length of a closed geodesic on a hyperbolic surface is called its systole, and denoted syspi_1. P. Buser and P. Sarnak…

We give a proof of an unpublished result of Thurston showing that given any hyperbolic metric on a surface of finite type with nonempty boundary, there exists another hyperbolic metric on the same surface for which the lengths of all simple…

Adapting focal loci techniques used by Chiantini and Lopez, we provide lower bounds on the genera of curves contained in very general surfaces in Gorenstein toric threefolds. We illustrate the utility of these bounds by obtaining results on…

In this paper, we prove the existence of maximal slices in anti-de Sitter spaces (ADS spaces) with small boundary data at spatial infinity. The main arguments is implicit function theorem. We also get a necessary and sufficient condition…

Two theorems involving curl eigenfields on the 3--sphere are obtained using angular momentum theory. Spinor hyperspherical harmonics are shown to form an explicit, convenient basis. In particular, a spin--one vector calculus is reviewed. An…

In this paper, we study physical measures for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with multi one-dimensional centers under the condition that all Gibbs $u$-states are hyperbolic. We prove the finiteness of ergodic physical measures. Then…

We explicitly describe the length minimizing geodesics for a sub-Riemannian structure of the elliptic type defined on $SL(2, \mathbb{R})$. Our method uses a symmetry reduction which translates the problem into a Riemannian problem on a two…

We investigate the maximal solid tubes around short simple geodesics in hyperbolic three-manifolds and how complex length of curves relate to closed, incompressible, least area minimal surfaces. As applications, we prove, there are some…

Polytope exchange transformations (PETs) are higher dimensional generalizations of interval exchange transformations (IETs) which have been well-studied for more than 40 years. A general method of constructing PETs based on multigraphs was…

In a recent letter (Friedrich et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109:138102, 2012), a minimal model swimmer was proposed that propels itself at low Reynolds numbers by a revolving motion of a pair of spheres. The motion of the two spheres can…

This article describes an entirely algebraic construction for developing conformal geometries, which provide models for, among others, the Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic geometries. On one hand, their relationship is usually shown…

In this paper we relate minimal left ideals on Clifford algebras with special geometric structures in dimensions $6,7,$ and $8$.

Through the Schwarz lemma, we provide a new point of view on three well-known results of the geometry of hyperbolic surfaces. The first result deal with the length of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces with boundary (Thurston, Parlier,…

We study the magic manifold $N$ which is a hyperbolic and fibered $3$-manifold. We give an explicit construction of a fiber $F_a$ and its monodromy $:F_a \rightarrow F_a$ of the fibration associated to each fibered class $a$ of $N$. Let…
