We use admissible covers to characterize irreducible stable curves that are $(d,h)$-elliptic, that is, that are limits of smooth curves admiting finite maps of degree-$d$ to smooth curves of genus $h\geq 1$.
We study a diophantine property for translation surfaces, defined in term of saddle connections and inspired by the classical theorem of Khinchin. We prove that the same dichotomy holds as in Khinchin' result, then we deduce a sharp…
A cover of normal varieties is exceptional over a finite field if the map on points over infinitely many extensions of the field is one-one. A cover over a number field is exceptional if it is exceptional over infinitely many residue class…
Motivated by the study of billiards in polyhedra, we study linear flows in a family of singular flat $3$-manifolds which we call translation prisms. Using ideas of Furstenberg and Veech, we connect results about weak mixing properties of…
In this paper we study the ergodic theory and thermodynamic formalism of the geodesic flow on non-compact pinched negatively curved manifolds. We consider two notions of entropy at infinity, the topological and the measure theoretic entropy…
This article is based on the lectures given at the ``Ecole thematique de theorie ergodique'', at the C.I.R.M. in Marseille, in April 2006. We give a complete proof of a theorem of Kerckhoff, Masur and Smillie on the unique ergodicity of the…
We prove uniqueness of instantaneously complete Ricci flows on surfaces. We do not require any bounds of any form on the curvature or its growth at infinity, nor on the metric or its growth (other than that implied by instantaneous…
Given a sequence of curves on a surface, we provide conditions which ensure that (1) the sequence is an infinite quasi-geodesic in the curve complex, (2) the limit in the Gromov boundary is represented by a nonuniquely ergodic ending…
The spectra of parallel flows (that is, flows governed by first-order differential operators parallel to one direction) are investigated, on both $L^2$ spaces and weighted-$L^2$ spaces. As a consequence, an example of a flow admitting a…
This is a note on a local ergodic theorem for a symmetric exclusion process defined on an infinite tower of coverings, which is associated with a finitely generated residually finite amenable group.
Dynamical systems on an infinite translation surface with the lattice property are studied. The geodesic flow on this surface is found to be recurrent in all but countably many rational directions. Hyperbolic elements of the affine…
In this paper, we consider generalized wind-tree models and $\Z^d$-covers over compact translation surfaces. Under suitable hypothesis, we prove recurrence of the linear flow in a generic direction and non-ergodicity of Lebesgue measure.
We prove ergodicity in a class of skew-product extensions of interval exchange transformations given by cocycles with logarithmic singularities. This, in particular, gives explicit examples of ergodic $\mathbb{R}$-extensions of minimal…
We consider smooth area-preserving flows (also known as locally Hamiltonian flows) on surfaces of genus $g\geq 1$ and study ergodic integrals of smooth observables along the flow trajectories. We show that these integrals display a…
This preliminary report contains a sketch of the proof of the following result: a slowly divergent Teichmuller geodesic satisfying a certain logarithmic law is determined by a uniquely ergodic measured foliation.
A \emph{surface of translation} is a sum $(u,v)\mapsto\gt\alpha(u)+\gt\beta(v)$ of two space curves: a \emph{path} $\gt\alpha$ and a \emph{profile} $\gt\beta$. A fundamental problem of differential geometry and shell theory is to determine…
First-passage percolation is a random growth model which has a metric structure. An infinite geodesic is an infinite sequence whose all sub-sequences are shortest paths. One of the important quantity is the number of infinite geodesics…
Correlation functions can be calculated on Riemann surfaces using the operator formalism. The state in the Hilbert space of the free field theory on the punctured disc, corresponding to the Riemann surface, is constructed at infinite genus,…
Irreducible symplectic varieties are higher-dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces. In this paper, we prove the finiteness of twists of irreducible symplectic varieties via a fixed finite field extension of characteristic $0$. The main…
The dynamical system generated by the iterated calculation of the high order gaps between neighboring terms of a sequence of natural numbers is remarkable and only incidentally characterized at the boundary by the notable Proth-Glibreath…
