We relate three classes of nonpositively curved metric spaces: hierarchically hyperbolic spaces, coarsely injective spaces, and strongly shortcut spaces. We show that every hierarchically hyperbolic space admits a new metric that is…

The classifying space of inertial reference frames in special relativity is naturally hyperbolic. There is a remarkable interplay between central elements of hyperbolic geometry and those of special relativity -- which, to a certain extent,…

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…

In this book, we study Gromov's metric geometric theory on the space of metric measure spaces, based on the idea of concentration of measure phenomenon due to L\'evy and Milman. Although most of the details are omitted in the original…

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…

We study the discrete graph-metric analogue of Gromov's filling area problem for the cycle graph \(C_n\). An abstract triangulation \(K\) is an isometric filling of \(C_n\) if \(\partial K=C_n\) and the graph distance between any two…

This is an expository survey with two goals. 1) The primary goal is to discuss and highlight the impact of two recent influential ideas in geometric group theory. The first of which is the notion of an injective metric space which is a rich…

Convex Integration is a theory developed in the '70s by M. Gromov. This theory allows to solve families of differential problems satisfying some convex assumptions. From a subsolution, the theory iteratively builds a solution by applying a…

In this paper we prove a general structure theorem for relatively hyperbolic groups (with arbitrary peripheral subgroups) acting naive convex co-compactly on properly convex domains in real projective space. We also establish a…

We establish a connection between two previously unrelated topics: a particular discrete version of conformal geometry for triangulated surfaces, and the geometry of ideal polyhedra in hyperbolic three-space. Two triangulated surfaces are…

We survey problems and results from combinatorial geometry in normed spaces, concentrating on problems that involve distances. These include various properties of unit-distance graphs, minimum-distance graphs, diameter graphs, as well as…

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…

We study the orthogonal projections of symplectic balls in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ on complex subspaces. In particular we show that these projections are themselves symplectic balls under a certain complexity assumption. Our main result is a…

We develop a new method to estimate the area, and more generally the intrinsic volumes, of a compact subset $X$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ from a set $Y$ that is close in the Hausdorff distance. This estimator enjoys a linear rate of convergence as…

We study invariant surfaces generated by one-parameter subgroups of simply and pseudo isotropic rigid motions. Basically, the simply and pseudo isotropic geometries are the study of a three-dimensional space equipped with a rank 2 metric of…

We present a purely geometric renormalization scheme for metric spaces (including uncolored graphs), which consists of a coarse graining and a rescaling operation on such spaces. The coarse graining is based on the concept of…
