We present a proof of a conjecture proposed by V. Delecroix, E. Goujard, P. Zograf, and A. Zorich, which describes the large genus asymptotic behaviours of the ratio of frequencies of separating over nonseparating simple closed geodesics on…
We classify representations of the mapping class group of a surface of genus $g$ (with at most one puncture or boundary component) up to dimension $3g-3$. Any such representation is the direct sum of a representation in dimension $2g$ or…
S. Cappell and J. Shaneson constructed a pair of inequivalent embeddings of $(n-1)$-spheres in homotopy $(n+1)$-spheres for every square matrix of order $n$ with special properties (a Cappell-Shaneson matrix). A Cappell-Shaneson polynomial…
The moduli space of twisted holomorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces, equivalently dilation surfaces with scaling, admits a stratification and GL(2,R)-action as in the case of moduli spaces of translation surfaces. We produce an analogue of…
In this article we construct many examples of properly convex irreducible domains divided by Zariski dense relatively hyperbolic groups in every dimension at least 3. This answers a question of Benoist. Relative hyperbolicity and non-strict…
We provide two constructions of hyperbolic metrics on 3-manifolds with Heegaard splittings that satisfy certain topological conditions, which both apply to random Heegaard splittings with asymptotic probability 1. These constructions…
In previous works, the author described an associative algebra whose $A_\infty$-module categories encode the Heegaard Floer Dehn surgery formulas. In this article, we describe the Koszul dual of this algebra. We construct dualizing…
We define an electrification of the curve graph of a surface S of finite type and use it to identify the Poisson boundary of a random walk on the mapping class group of S with some logarithmic moment condition as a stationary measure on the…
We say that a \emph{cubical 2-knot} $K^{2}$ is an embedding of the 2-sphere in the 2-skeleton of the canonical cubulation of $\mathbb{R}^4$; in particular, $K^{2}$ is the union of $m(K^{2})$ unit squares, hence $m(K^{2})$ is its area. We…
An embedding of a graph on a translation surface is said to be \emph{systolic} if each vertex of the graph corresponds to a singular point (or marked point) and each edge corresponds to a shortest saddle connection on the translation…
We complete the characterization of the connected components of the space of type-preserving representations of a punctured surface group into $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. We show that the connected components are indexed by the relative…
We classify all $\pi_1$-injective proper maps between non-compact surfaces up to proper homotopy.
We study a quasimorphism, which we call the Dehn twist coefficient (DTC), from the mapping class group of a surface (with a chosen compact boundary component) that generalizes the well-studied fractional Dehn twist coefficient (FDTC) to…
This paper constructs hyperbolic polyhedral metrics via circle packings. We introduce the curvature of circles as a parameter to include all three types of constant curvature curves in the hyperbolic geometry. This provides a unified…
We identify a condition that prevents a hyperbolic space from being quasi-isometric to the curve complex of any non-sporadic surface. Our result applies to several hyperbolic complexes, including arc complexes, disk complexes,…
In this paper, we study Legendrian realizations of cable links of knot types that are uniformly thick but not Legendrian simple, extending prior work of Dalton, the second author, and Traynor. This leads to new phenomena, such as stabilized…
We provide a complete description of realizable period representations for meromorphic differentials on Riemann surfaces with prescribed orders of zeros and poles, hyperelliptic structure, and spin parity.
Given an infinite connected graph, a way to randomly perturb its metric is to assign random i.i.d. lengths to the edges of the graph. Assume that the graph is infinite and of bounded degree. Assume also strict positivity and finite…
Metric (graph) bundles generalize the notion of fiber bundles to the context of geometric group theory and were introduced by Mj and Sardar. Suppose $X$ is a metric (graph) bundle over $B$ such that the fibers are (uniformly) hyperbolic,…
Cohen--Suciu proved that the cohomology ring of the boundary manifold of a complex projective line arrangement is isomorphic to the double of the cohomology ring of the complement. In this paper, we generalize this result to arbitrary…
