We show that cusped finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds contain infinitely many simple closed geodesics.

We show that the number of simple closed geodesics of length bounded by L on a hyperbolic surface of genus g with c cusps and b boundary components grows roughly like L^{6g+2b+2c-6}. This has been conjectured for some time.

For each odd $n \geq 3$, we construct a closed convex hypersurface of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ that contains a non-degenerate closed geodesic with Morse index zero. A classical theorem of J. L. Synge would forbid such constructions for even $n$,…

Given a geodesic inside a simply-connected, complete, non-positively curved Riemannian (NPCR) manifold M, we get an associated geodesic inside the asymptotic cone Cone(M). Under mild hypotheses, we show that if the latter is contained…

In this note, we show that sub-Riemannian manifolds can contain branching normal minimizing geodesics. This phenomenon occurs if and only if a normal geodesic has a discontinuity in its rank at a non-zero time, which in particular for a…

A fibration of a Riemannian manifold is fiberwise homogeneous if there are isometries of the manifold onto itself, taking any given fiber to any other one, and preserving fibers. Examples are fibrations of Euclidean n-space by parallel…

Let S be an oriented surface of genus g with m punctures. If 3g-3+m is at least 4 then we construct for every compact subset K of moduli space a closed Teichmueller geodesic not intersecting K.

We decompose linear $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure in canonical ways adapted to 3-dimensional subspaces, in terms of certain natural 1-forms and definite triple of 2-forms, and apply the decompositions to the study of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure…

We obtain Margulis-type asymptotic estimates for the number of free homotopy classes of closed geodesics on certain manifolds without conjugate points. Our results cover all compact surfaces of genus at least 2 without conjugate points.

The goal of the article is to provide different explicit quantifications of the non density of simple closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. In particular, we show that within any embedded metric disk on a surface, lies a disk of radius…

We construct convex bodies that can be "captured by nets." More precisely, for each dimension $n \geq 2$, we construct a family of Riemannian $n$-spheres, each with a stable geodesic net, which is a stable 1-dimensional integral varifold.…

We present the geodesics on homogeneous and isotropic negatively curved spaces in a simple form suitable for application to cosmological problems. We discuss how the patterns in the microwave sky of anisotropic homogeneous universes can be…

We show that many graphs naturally associated to a connected, compact, orientable surface are hierarchically hyperbolic spaces in the sense of Behrstock, Hagen and Sisto. They also automatically have the coarse median property defined by…

On a regular tetrahedron in spherical space there exist the finite number of simple closed geodesics. For any pair of coprime integers $(p,q)$ it was found the numbers $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ depending on $p$, $q$ and satisfying the…

Given a metric space $X$ and a subspace $A\subset X$, we prove $A$ can generate various algebraic elements in persistent homology of $X$. We call such elements (algebraic) footprints of $A$. Our results imply that footprints typically…

We consider the existence of simple closed geodesics or "geodesic knots" in finite volume orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Previous results show that at least one geodesic knot always exists [Bull. London Math. Soc. 31(1) (1999) 81-86],…
