We obtain a sharp characterization of the Euclidean ball among all convex bodies K whose boundary has a pointwise k-th mean curvature not smaller than a geometric constant at almost all normal points. This geometric constant depends only on…
Suppose that N is a geometrically finite orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold. Let P(N,C) be the space of all geometrically finite hyperbolic structures on N whose convex core is bent along a set C of simple closed curves. We prove that the map…
Many geometric structures associated to surface groups can be encoded in terms of invariant cross ratios on their circle at infinity; examples include points of Teichm\"uller space, Hitchin representations and geodesic currents. We add to…
Motivated by classical theorems on minimal surface theory in compact hyperbolic three-manifolds, we investigate the questions of existence and deformations for least area minimal surfaces in complete noncompact hyperbolic three-manifold of…
We study one-loop bulk entanglement entropy in even spacetime dimensions using the heat kernel method, which captures the universal piece of entanglement entropy, a logarithmically divergent term in even dimensions. In four dimensions, we…
We study spaces with a cuspidal (or horn-like) singularity embedded in a smooth Riemannian manifold and analyze the geodesics in these spaces which start at the singularity. This provides a basis for understanding the intrinsic geometry of…
We explore the limit set of a particular spherical CR uniformization of a cusped hyperbolic manifold. We prove that the limit set is the closure of a countable union of $\mathbb{R}$-circles, is connected, and contains a Hopf link with three…
We survey some of our recent results on length series identities for hyperbolic (cone) surfaces, possibly with cusps and/or boundary geodesics; classical Schottky groups; representations/characters of the one-holed torus group to $SL(2,…
We study the deformation behavior of compact hyperbolic complex manifolds. Let $\pi:\mathcal{X}\rightarrow \Delta$ be a smooth family of compact complex manifolds over the unit disk in $\mathbb{C}$, and $H$ a compact hyperbolic complex…
A geometric transition is a continuous path of geometric structures that changes type, meaning that the model geometry, i.e. the homogeneous space on which the structures are modeled, abruptly changes. In order to rigorously study…
A negatively curved hyperbolic cone metric is called rigid if it is determined (up to isotopy) by the support of its Liouville current, and flexible otherwise. We provide a complete characterization of rigidity and flexibility, prove that…
A fundamental way to study 3-manifolds is through the geometric lens, one of the most prominent geometries being the hyperbolic one. We focus on the computation of a complete hyperbolic structure on a connected orientable hyperbolic…
We give sharp bounds for the hyperbolic curvature of the level curve $|z|=|f(z)|$, when $f:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{D}$ is holomorphic on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and $f(0)\neq0$, as well as for other related level curves. As a consequence,…
We consider the space of all smooth knots in the 3-sphere isotopic to a given knot, with the aim of finding a small subspace onto which this large space deformation retracts. For torus knots and many hyperbolic knots we show the subspace…
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…
The distortion of a curve is the supremum, taken over distinct pairs of points of the curve, of the ratio of arclength to spatial distance between the points. Gromov asked in 1981 whether a curve in every knot type can be constructed with…
Let $f$ be a normalized holomorphic cusp form with a square-free level $N$ and weight $k$. Using a pre-trace formula, we establish a sup-norm bound of $f$ such that $\|y^kf(z)\|_{\infty} \ll N^{-1/6+\epsilon}$ where the trivial bound is…
We prove hyperbolic 3-manifolds are geometrically inflexible: a unit quasiconformal deformation of a Kleinian group extends to an equivariant bi-Lipschitz diffeomorphism between quotients whose pointwise bi-Lipschitz constant decays…
The goal of this paper is to study the geometry of cusped complex hyperbolic manifolds through their compactifications. We characterize toroidal compactifications with non-nef canonical divisor. We derive effective very ampleness results…
We give $L^2$-bounds on the change in the complex projective structure on the boundary of conformally compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with incompressible boundary after drilling short geodesics. We show that the change is bounded by a…
