We provide two new proofs of a theorem of Cooper, Long and Reid which asserts that, apart from an explicit finite list of exceptional manifolds, any compact orientable irreducible 3-manifold with non-empty boundary has large fundamental…

In this article we show that for every collection $\mathcal{C}$ of an even number of polynomials, all of the same degree $d>2$ and in general position, there exist two hyperbolic $3$-orbifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$ with a M\"obius morphism…

Given a number field $K$ and a finite set $S$ of places of $K$, the first main result of this paper shows that the quadratic rational maps $\phi:{\mathbb P}^1\to{\mathbb P}^1$ defined over $K$ which have good reduction at all places outside…

We show that mapping spaces in the p-local motivic stable category over an Fp-scheme are strictly commutative monoids (whence HZ-modules) in a canonical way.

In the early 1980's Thurston gave a topological characterization of rational maps whose critical points have finite iterated orbits (\cite{Th,DH1}): given a topological branched covering $F$ of the two sphere with finite critical orbits, if…

We prove that if G is a compact connected Lie group and X is a compact connected hyper-Kahler manifold, then the L^2 metric on (the smooth locus of) the moduli space of flat G-bundles on X is a hyper-Kahler metric.

We study open orbits of symmetric subgroups of a simple connected Lie group G on a causal flag manifold. First we show that a flag manifold M of G carries an invariant causal structure if and only if G is hermitian of tube type and M is the…

In the last section of \cite{CompHyp} it is proved that the map $\mathcal{I}$ is a finite-sheeted covering map between $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{M}$. As $\mathcal{M}$ is simply connected it is deduced that $\mathcal{I}$ is a…

We analyse the intersection of positively and negatively sectional-hyperbolic sets for flows on compact manifolds. First we prove that such an intersection is hyperbolic if the intersecting sets are both transitive (this is false without…

There are few examples of non-autonomous vector fields exhibiting complex dynamics that may be proven analytically. We analyse a family of periodic perturbations of a weakly attracting robust heteroclinic network defined on the two-sphere.…

The paper shows that normally hyperbolic one-dimensional compact attractors of smooth dynamical systems are characterized by differential positivity, that is, the pointwise infinitesimal contraction of a smooth cone field. The result is…

We prove that if $E$ is a compact subset of the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$ in the complex plane, if $E$ contains a sequence of distinct points $a_n\not= 0$ for $n\geq 1$ such that $\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n=0$ and for all $n$ we have $ |a_{n+1}|…

We prove an extension results for the multiplier of an attracting periodic orbit of a quadratic map as a function of the parameter. This has applications to the problem of geometry of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. In particular, we prove…

Let $G$ be a word hyperbolic group in the sense of Gromov and $P$ its associated Rips complex. We prove that the fixed point set $P^H$ is contractible for every finite subgroups $H$ of $G$. This is the main ingredient for proving that $P$…

There is a wealth of results in the literature on the thermodynamic formalism for potentials that are, in some sense, "hyperbolic". We show that for a sufficiently regular one-dimensional map satisfying a weak hyperbolicity assumption,…

We give sharp upper bounds on the maximal injectivity radius of finite-area hyperbolic surfaces and use them, for each g at least 2, to identify a constant r_{g-1,2} with the property that the set of closed genus-g hyperbolic surfaces with…

For a hyperbolic polynomial automorphism of C^2 with a disconnected Julia set, and under a mild dissipativity condition, we give a topological description of the components of the Julia set. Namely, there are finitely many "quasi-solenoids"…

Through highly non-constructive methods, works by Bestvina, Culler, Feighn, Morgan, Paulin, Rips, Shalen, and Thurston show that if a finitely presented group does not split over a virtually solvable subgroup, then the space of its discrete…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and $D\subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. Let $\xi$ be a line bundle of degree $d$ over $X$. Let $\mathcal{M}(\alpha, r, \xi)$ (respectively, $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{conn}}(\alpha, r,…

Fixing a closed hyperbolic surface S, we define a moduli space AI(S) of unmarked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to S. This 3-dimensional analogue of the moduli space M(S) of unmarked hyperbolic surfaces homeomorphic to S has…
