Uniform spectral gap and orthogeodesic counting for strong convergence of Kleinian groups
We show convergence of small eigenvalues for geometrically finite hyperbolic n-manifolds under strong limits. For a class of convergent convex sets in a strongly convergent sequence of Kleinian groups, we use the spectral gap of the limit manifold and ...

Rehabilitating space-times with NUTs
We revisit the Taub–NUT solution of the Einstein equations without time periodicity condition, showing that the Misner string is still fully transparent for geodesics.

The string vertices of closed string field theory are subsets of the moduli spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces that satisfy a geometric version of the Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation.

Closed simple geodesics on a polyhedron
Abstract It is well-known that every isosceles tetrahedron (disphenoid) admits infinitely many simple closed geodesics on its surface. They can be naturally enumerated by pairs of coprime integers n > m > 1 with two additional cases (1, 0) and (1, 1).

Hyperbolic compactification of M-theory and de Sitter quantum gravity
We present a mechanism for accelerated expansion of the universe in the generic case of negative-curvature compactifications of M-theory, with minimal ingredients. M-theory on a hyperbolic manifold with small closed geodesics supporting Casimir energy

Rotating traversable wormholes in Einstein-Maxwell theory
It is well-known that traversable wormhole solutions to the Einstein equations require the existence of an exotic matter source violating the null energy condition. An apparent exception is the overcharged Kerr-Newman-NUT solution of the Einstein-Maxwell

Unduloids and their Closed Geodesics
We construct explicit parametrizations in terms of elliptic functions for unduloids depending on a parameter. We then use these parametrizations to study geodesics on unduloids. In particular, we use Maple to find interesting closed geodesics on unduloids.

A Morse lemma for degenerate critical points with low differentiability
We prove a Morse type lemma for, possibly degenerate, critical points of a C1 function twice strongly differentiable at those points, which allows us to recover, for Finsler metrics, the theorem of Gromoll and Meyer on the existence of infinitely many ...
