Connected components of the compactification of representation spaces of surface groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The Thurston compactification of Teichmuller spaces has been generalised to many different representation spaces by Morgan, Shalen, Bestvina, Paulin, Parreau and others.

Lipschitz minimality of the multiplication maps of unit complex, quaternion and octonion numbers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We prove that the multiplication maps S n S n ! S n (nD 1;3;7) for unit complex, quaternion and octonion numbers are, up to isometries of domain and range, the unique Lipschitz constant minimizers in their homotopy classes.

On the problem of prescribing weighted scalar curvature and the weighted Yamabe flow

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2023
The weighted Yamabe problem introduced by Case is the generalization of the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities to smooth metric measure spaces. More precisely, given a smooth metric measure space (M,g,e−ϕdVg,m)\left(M,g,{e}^{-\phi }{\rm{d}}{V}_{g},m), the ...

On the topology of closed manifolds with quasi-constant sectional curvature

open access: yesJournal de l'École polytechnique. Mathématiques, 2019
We prove that closed manifolds admitting a metric whose sectional curvature is locally quasi-constant are graphs of space forms. In the more general setting of QC space where sets of isotropic points are arbitrary, under suitable positivity assumption ...

Parabolic isometries of CAT(0) spaces and CAT(0) dimensions (Perspectives of Hyperbolic Spaces II) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We study discrete groups from the view point of a dimension gap in connection to CAT(0) geometry. Developing studies by Brady-Crisp and Bridson, we show that there exist nitely presented groups of geometric dimension 2 which do not act properly on any ...

Branching Geodesics of the Gromov-Hausdorff Distance

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2022
In this paper, we first evaluate topological distributions of the sets of all doubling spaces, all uniformly disconnected spaces, and all uniformly perfect spaces in the space of all isometry classes of compact metric spaces equipped with the Gromov ...

Stable systolic category of the product of spheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The stable systolic category of a closed manifold M indicates the complexity in the sense of volume. This is a homotopy invariant, even though it is defined by some relations between homological volumes on M .

Ideal boundaries of pseudo-Anosov flows and uniform convergence groups with connections and applications to large scale geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Given a general pseudo-Anosov flow in a closed three manifold, the orbit space of the lifted flow to the universal cover is homeomorphic to an open disk. We construct a natural compactification of this orbit space with an ideal circle boundary.

On the structure of Riemannian manifolds of almost nonnegative Ricci curvature

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 39, Page 2085-2090, 2004., 2004
We study the structure of manifolds with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature. We prove a compact Riemannian manifold with bounded curvature, diameter bounded from above, and Ricci curvature bounded from below by an almost nonnegative real number such that the first Betti number havingcodimension two is an infranilmanifold or a finite cover is a sphere ...
