In this paper we consider strata of flat metrics coming from quadratic differentials (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simple closed curves to be…

In this paper we prove that on a closed oriented surface, flat metrics determined by holomorphic quadratic differentials can be distinguished from other flat cone metrics by the length spectrum.

In this paper we prove that the space of flat metrics (nonpositively curved Euclidean cone metrics) on a closed, oriented surface is marked length spectrally rigid. In other words, two flat metrics assigning the same lengths to all closed…

Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We obtain direct characterizations of the connected components of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions, and whose curvatures…

In this paper we consider flat metrics (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. There are two main results. The first is a complete description of when a set of simple closed curves is spectrally rigid, that is, when the…

It is well-known that the class of piecewise smooth curves together with a smooth Riemannian metric induces a metric space structure on a manifold. However, little is known about the minimal regularity needed to analyze curves and…

Motivated by the theory of quantum waveguides, we investigate the spectrum of the Laplacian, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a curved strip of constant width that is defined as a tubular neighbourhood of an infinite curve in a…

Length spectral rigidity is the question of under what circumstances the geometry of a surface can be determined, up to isotopy, by knowing only the lengths of its closed geodesics. It is known that this can be done for negatively curved…

We prove that the length difference between a closed periodic curve and its parallel curve at a sufficiently small distance is proportional to the rotation index. As an application, the rotation index of a curve could be estimated by means…

In Euclidean geometry, all metric notions (arc length for curves, the first fundamental form for surfaces, etc.) are derived from the Euclidean inner product on tangent vectors, and this inner product is preserved by the full symmetry group…

Let $(N,\rho)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $S$ a surface of genus at least two and let $f\colon S \to N$ be a continuous map. We consider the energy spectrum of $(N,\rho)$ (and $f$) which assigns to each point $[J]\in \mathcal{T}(S)$ in the…

We formulate a uniqueness conjecture for curve shortening flow of proper curves on certain symmetric surfaces and give an example of a non-flat metric on the plane with respect to which curve shortening flow is not unique. That is, with…

The rigidity of marked length spectrum for closed hyperbolic surfaces due to Fricke-Klein [7] has been the motivation of many different rigidity results, specially for manifolds of negative curvature. From the works of Vigneras [18], Sunada…

The importance of the quantum metric in flat-band systems has been noticed recently in many contexts such as the superfluid stiffness, the dc electrical conductivity, and ideal Chern insulators. Both the quantum metric of degenerate and…

We consider a length functional for $C^1$ curves of fixed degree in graded manifolds equipped with a Riemannian metric. The first variation of this length functional can be computed only if the curve can be deformed in a suitable sense, and…

Combining several previously known arguments, we prove marked length spectrum rigidity for surfaces with nonpositively curved Riemannian metrics away from a finite set of cone-type singularities with cone angles $>2\pi$. With an additional…

We introduce two spectral invariants of finite metric spaces, the $q$-spectrum and the transition $q$-spectrum, defined from similarity matrices. These invariants extend the adjacency and Laplacian spectra of graphs to general finite metric…

Cone spherical metrics are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many conical singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. A cone spherical metric is called irreducible if each developing map of the metric does not have…

A special class of metrics, called universal metrics, solve all gravity theories defined by covariant field equations purely based on the metric tensor. Since we currently lack the knowledge of what the full of quantum-corrected field…

We investigate a q-deformation of the arc length metric on the unit circle. This q-deformation arises naturally from the Dirac operator by replacing the standard integers by their q-deformed analogues. Nonetheless, we show that the…
