Let $\wh K$ be the field of formal Laurent series in $X^{-1}$ over the finite field $k$, and let $A$ be the ring of polynomials in $X$ over $k$. One of the main results of the paper is to give a particularly nice coding of the geodesic flow…

In this article, we prove an extreme value theorem on the limit distribution of geodesics in a geometrically finite quotient of $\Gamma\backslash\mathcal{T}$ a locally finite tree. Main examples of such graphs are quotients of a Bruhat-Tits…

We prove that the geodesic flow on a locally CAT(-1) metric space which is compact, or more generally convex cocompact with non-elementary fundamental group, can be coded by a suspension flow over an irreducible shift of finite type with…

If $(M,g)$ is a smooth compact rank $1$ Riemannian manifold without focal points, it is shown that the measure $\mu_{\max}$ of maximal entropy for the geodesic flow is unique. In this article, we study the statistic properties and prove…

In this article we investigate the dynamical properties of the geodesic flow for a proper metric space endowed with a proper action by isometries of a group with a contracting element. We show that the existence of a contracting isometry is…

Let $S$ be a compact surface of genus $\geq 2$ equipped with a metric that is flat everywhere except at finitely many cone points with angles greater than $2\pi$. We examine the geodesic flow on $S$ and prove local product structure for a…

In the present work we consider the behavior of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of the 2-torus $T^2$ for an arbitrary Riemannian metric. A natural non-negative quantity which measures the complexity of the geodesic flow is the…

In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive study on ergodic properties of the geodesic flow on a $C^\infty$ uniform visibility manifold $M$ without conjugate points. If $M$ is a closed surface of genus at least two without conjugate points,…

In this article, we consider a closed rank one Riemannian manifold $M$ without focal points. Let $P(t)$ be the set of free-homotopy classes containing a closed geodesic on $M$ with length at most $t$, and $\# P(t)$ its cardinality. We…

Let $Q$ be a closed manifold admitting a locally-free action of a compact Lie group $G$. In this paper we study the properties of geodesic flows on $Q$ given by Riemannian metrics which are invariant by such an action. In particular, we…

We study the geodesic flow of geometrically finite quotients $\Omega/{\Gamma}$ of Hilbert geometries, in particular its recurrence properties. We prove that, under a geometrical assumption on the cusps, the geodesic flow is uniformly…

Given an ergodic probability preserving flow $T=(T_t)_{t\in\Bbb R}$, let $I(T):=\{s\in\Bbb R^*\mid T\text{is isomorphic to}(T_{st})_{t\in\Bbb R}\}$. A weakly mixing Gaussian flow $T$ is constructed such that $I(T)$ is uncountable and…

We study the structure of the Mather and Aubry sets for the family of lagrangians given by the kinetic energy associated to a riemannian metric $ g$ on a closed manifold $ M$. In this case the Euler-Lagrange flow is the geodesic flow of…

Given a smooth compact surface without focal points and of higher genus, it is shown that its geodesic flow is semi-conjugate to a continuous expansive flow with a local product structure such that the semi-conjugation preserves…

Motivated by Gromov's geodesic flow problem on hyperbolic groups $G$, we develop in this paper an analog using random walks. This leads to a notion of a harmonic analog $\Theta$ of the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure on $\partial^2 G$. We…

For any toric automorphism with only real eigenvalues a Riemannian metric with an integrable geodesic flow on the suspension of this automorphism is constructed. A qualitative analysis of such a flow on a three-solvmanifold constructed by…

We compare self-joining- and embeddability properties. In particular, we prove that a measure preserving flow $(T_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ with $T_1$ ergodic is 2-fold quasi-simple (2-fold distally simple) if and only if $T_1$ is 2-fold…
