We exhibit orbits of the geodesic flow on a hyperbolic surface with at least one cusp such that every tubular neighborhood contains uncountably many distinct geodesic flow orbits. The proof relies on new phenomena, namely the existence of…

The aim of this paper is to study growth properties of group extensions of hyperbolic dynamical systems, where we do not assume that the extension satisfies the symmetry conditions seen, for example, in the work of Stadlbauer on symmetric…

In this paper we show that the geodesic flow of a Finsler metric is Anosov if and only if there exists a $C^2$ open neighborhood of Finsler metrics all of whose closed geodesics are hyperbolic. For surfaces this result holds also for…

Given an Anosov flow on a closed 3-manifold, we are interested in the problem of whether or not making non-trivial Fried surgeries along a finite set of periodic orbits can produce a flow equivalent to itself. We show that for some…

We study smooth volume-preserving perturbations of the time-1 map of the geodesic flow $\psi_{t}$ of a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension at least three with constant negative curvature. We show that such a perturbation has equal…

In this paper we develop new methods for studying the convergence problem for the heat flow on negatively curved spaces and prove that any quasiconformal map of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, $n\geq 3$, can be extended to the…

Let $(M, \xi)$ be a compact contact 3-manifold and assume that there exists a contact form $\alpha_0$ on $(M, \xi)$ whose Reeb flow is Anosov. We show this implies that every Reeb flow on $(M, \xi)$ has positive topological entropy. Our…

We study the intrinsic geometry of area minimizing (and also of almost minimizing) hypersurfaces from a new point of view by relating this subject to quasiconformal geometry. For any such hypersurface we define and construct a so-called…

We construct non-algebraic Anosov flows in dimension $3+2n$, $n\geq 2$, by suspending the action of the fundamental group of a finite cover of the Bonatti-Langevin flow.

We construct pairs of non-isometric hyperbolic 3-orbifolds with the same topological type and volume. Topologically these orbifolds are mapping tori of pseudo-Anosov maps of the surface of genus 2, with singular locus a fibred (hyperbolic)…

We classify five dimensional Anosov flows with smooth decomposition which are in addition transversely symplectic. Up to finite covers and a special time change, we find exectly the suspensions of symplectic hyperbolic automorphisms of four…

For each $n\in\mathbb{Z}^+$, we show the existence of Venice masks (i.e. intransitive sectional-Anosov flows with dense periodic orbits) containing $n$ equilibria on certain compact 3-manifolds. These examples are characterized because of…

Given a pair of curves C_1 and C_2 on a hyperbolic surface F, when does there exist a pseudo-Anosov map sending one to another? More generally, one may ask the same question for C_i to be sets of disjoint simple closed curves. We will give…

In a previous paper with C. Bonatti ([5]), we have defined a general procedure to build new examples of Anosov flows in dimension 3. The procedure consists in gluing together some building blocks, called hyperbolic plugs, along their…

We present a new approach to hyperbolic plugs, via a construction of bicontact plugs on 3-manifolds with boundary that are surface bundles over the circle. The boundary components are quasi transverse tori, and we prove a gluing theorem…

Periodic geodesics on the modular surface correspond to periodic orbits of the geodesic flow in its unit tangent bundle $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The complement of any finite number of orbits is a…

Given a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M with a quasigeodesic flow we construct a \pi_1-equivariant sphere-filling curve in the boundary of hyperbolic space. Specifically, we show that any complete transversal P to the lifted flow on H^3 has…

We study the transverse geometric behavior of 2-dimensional foliations in 3-manifolds. We show that an R-covered transversely orientable foliation with Gromov hyperbolic leaves in a closed 3-manifold admits a regulating, transverse…

We study obstructions preventing a three-dimensional Anosov flow from serving as the base of a fiberwise Anosov flow. We prove a non-existence result if the base flow admits infinitely many periodic orbits in the same free homotopy class.…

We classify quasiconformal Anosov flows whose strong stable and unstable distributions are at least two dimensional and the sum of these two distributions is smooth. We deduce from this classification result the complete classification of…
