A smooth curve in the real projective plane is hyperbolic if its ovals are maximally nested. By the Helton-Vinnikov Theorem, any such curve admits a definite symmetric determinantal representation. We use polynomial homotopy continuation to…

For all integers $p>q>0$ and $k >0$, and all non-elementary torsion-free hyperbolic groups $H$, we construct a hyperbolic group $G$ in which $H$ is a subgroup, such that the distortion function of $H$ in $G$ grows like $\exp^k(n^{p/q})$.…

In this paper, we show how to construct a special class of ruled hypersurfaces in the nonflat complex space forms $\mathbb{CP}^n$ and $\mathbb{C}H^n$. This is done by taking an arbitrary smooth curve in a totally geodesic (complex)…

We study two classes of quantum spheres and hyperboloids which are $*$-quantum spaces for the quantum orthogonal group $\mathcal{O}(SO_q(3))$. We construct line bundles over the quantum homogeneous space of invariant elements for the…

We classify the groups quasi-isometric to a group generated by finite-order elements within the class of one-ended hyperbolic groups which are not Fuchsian and whose JSJ decomposition over two-ended subgroups does not contain rigid vertex…

In this paper we examine the structure of Riemannian manifolds with a special kind of Codazzi tensors. We use them to construct globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds with complete Cauchy hypersurfaces for any weakly irreducible holonomy…

A group theoretic version of Dehn surgery is studied. Starting with an arbitrary relatively hyperbolic group $G$ we define a peripheral filling procedure, which produces quotients of $G$ by imitating the effect of the Dehn filling of a…

We apply representation theory to study the homology of equivariant Dehn-fillings of a given finite, regular cover of a compact 3-manifold with boundary a torus. This yields a polynomial which gives the rank of the part of the homology…

We determine the maximal hyperbolic reflection groups associated to the quadratic forms $-3x_0^2 + x_1^2 + ... + x_n^2$, $n \ge 2$, and present the Coxeter schemes of their fundamental polyhedra. These groups exist in dimensions up to 13,…

A polytope in the hyperbolic space $\H^n$ is called an {\it ideal polytope} if all its vertices belong to the boundary of $\H^n$. We prove that no simple ideal Coxeter polytope exist in $\H^n$ for $n>8$.

This is a survey on Reidemeister torsion for hyperbolic three-manifolds of finite volume. Torsions are viewed as topological invariants and also as functions on the variety of representations in $\operatorname{ SL}_2(\mathbb C)$. In both…

We investigate which free constructions (amalgamated products and HNN-extensions) over word hyperbolic groups produce groups that are again word hyperbolic. A complete answer is obtained for the case when the amalgamated subgroups are…

We prove a geometrically meaningful stochastic representation of the derivative of the heat semigroup on sub-Riemannian manifolds with tranverse symmetries. This representation is obtained from the study of Bochner-Weitzenbock type formulas…

We show that, given a finitely generated group $G$ as the coordinate group of a finite system of equations over a torsion-free hyperbolic group $\Gamma$, there is an algorithm which constructs a cover of a canonical solution diagram. The…

We argue that modular classes of Q-manifolds provide an efficient method for addressing the existence of supersymmetric Berezin volumes in the supergeometric representation theory of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ $d=1$ supertranslation algebra. We…

This article is a first step in the study of equations in periodic groups. As an application, we study the structure of periodic quotients of hyperbolic groups. We investigate for instance the Hopf and co-Hopf properties, the isomorphism…

Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces (HHSs) are a large class of spaces that provide a unified framework for studying the mapping class group, right-angled Artin and Coxeter groups, and many 3--manifold groups. We investigate strongly…

Let group generators having finite-dimensional representation be realized as Hermitian linear differential operators without nhomogeneous terms as takes place, for example, for the SO(n) group. Then orresponding group Hamiltonians…

Consider a holomorphic contact manifold. Holomorphic discs tangent to the contact planes define a pseudometric on the manifold. This pseudometric integrates to a pseudodistance. When the pseudodistance is a distance, we call the contact…

Let P be the right-angled dodecahedron or 120-cell in hyperbolic space, and let W be the group generated by reflections across codimension-one faces of P. We prove that if Gamma is a torsion-free subgroup of minimal index in W, then the…
