A criterion given by Castejon-Amenedo and MacCallum (1990) for the existence of (locally) hypersurface-orthogonal generators of an orthogonally-transitive two-parameter Abelian group of motions (a $G_2I$) in spacetime is re-expressed as a…

We establish several characterizations of Anosov representations of word hyperbolic groups into real reductive Lie groups, in terms of a Cartan projection or Lyapunov projection of the Lie group. Using a properness criterion of Benoist and…

In the Labourie-Loftin parametrization of the Hitchin component of surface group representations into SL(3,R), we prove an asymptotic formula for holonomy along rays in terms of local invariants of the holomorphic differential defining that…

In this article we give a geometric interpretation of the Hitchin component for PSL(4,R) in the representation variety of a closed oriented surface of higher genus. We show that representations in the Hitchin component are precisely the…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g$. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between hyperbolic cone-structure on $S$ and representations of the fundamental group into $\text{PSL}_2\Bbb R$. We consider surfaces of genus greater…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the global categorical symmetries that arise when gauging finite higher groups in three or more dimensions. The motivation is to provide a common perspective on constructions of non-invertible…

We prove, under certain assumptions, algebraicity of the ratio $L(m, \Pi \times \chi)/L(m, \Pi \times \chi')$, where $\Pi$ is a cuspidal automorphic cohomological unitary representation of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{Q})$, and $\chi$,…

Recently, Haase and Ilten initiated the study of classifying algebraically hyperbolic surfaces in toric threefolds. We complete this classification for $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$, $\mathbb{P}^2 \times…

We initiate the study of characters of surface groups and their corresponding tracial representations. We show that any tracial representation can be approximated arbitrarily well in the Wasserstein topology by factorial tracial…

We generalize the natural cross ratio on the ideal boundary of a rank one symmetric spaces, or even $\mathrm{CAT}(-1)$ space, to higher rank symmetric spaces and (non-locally compact) Euclidean buildings - we obtain vector valued cross…

We survey the relationship between the combinatorics and geometry of graphs and the algebraic structure of right-angled Artin groups. We concentrate on the defining graph of the right-angled Artin group and on the extension graph associated…

Earlier work introduced a geometrically natural probability measure on the group of all M\"obius transformations of the hyperbolic plane so as to be able to study "random" groups of M\"obius transformations, and in particular random…

We establish isomorphisms between certain specializations of Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras and the symmetric squares of Temperley-Lieb algebras. These isomorphisms imply a link-polynomial identity due to W. B. R. Lickorish. As an…

We evaluate some integrals over $[0,\infty)$ of quotients of powers of the hyperbolic functions $\sinh x$ and $\cosh x$ using a hypergeometric approach. Some of these results appear to be new but several verify the entries in the table of…

In this paper we describe all rotation $H$-hypersurfaces in $H^n \times R$ and use them as barriers to prove existence and characterization of certain vertical $H$-graphs and to give symmetry and uniqueness results for compact…

Chiral conformal blocks in a rational conformal field theory are a far going extension of Gauss hypergeometric functions. The associated monodromy representations of Artin's braid group capture the essence of the modern view on the subject,…

We prove that hyperbolic groups with logarithmic separation profiles split over cyclic groups. This shows that such groups can be inductively built from Fuchsian groups and free groups by amalgamations and HNN extensions over finite or…

We study the geometry of nonrelatively hyperbolic groups. Generalizing a result of Schwartz, any quasi-isometric image of a non-relatively hyperbolic space in a relatively hyperbolic space is contained in a bounded neighborhood of a single…

Let $Z$ be a quadratic hypersurface of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{R})$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ containing points whose coordinates are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that, among these points, the largest exponent of uniform…

We construct a geometric, real analytic parametrization of the Hitchin component Hit_n(S) of the PSL_n(R)-character variety R_{PSL_n(R)}(S) of a closed surface S. The approach is explicit and constructive. In essence, our parametrization is…
