Computing the Gromov hyperbolicity of a discrete metric space

open access: yes, 2015
We give exact and approximation algorithms for computing the Gromov hyperbolicity of an n-point discrete metric space. We observe that computing the Gromov hyperbolicity from a fixed base-point reduces to a (max,min) matrix product. Hence, using the (max,

A characterization of Gromov hyperbolicity of surfaces with variable negative curvature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper we show that, in order to check Gromov hyperbolicity of any surface with curvature K≤ -k² < 0, we just need to verify the Rips condition on a very small class of triangles, namely, those contained in simple closed geodesics. This result is,

Gromov Hyperbolicity, John Spaces, and Quasihyperbolic Geodesics

open access: yesThe Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2022
We show that every quasihyperbolic geodesic in a John space admitting a roughly starlike Gromov hyperbolic quasihyperbolization is a cone arc. This result provides a new approach to the elementary metric geometry question, formulated in \cite[Question 2]{Hei89}, which has been studied by Gehring, Hag, Martio and Heinonen. As an application, we obtain a

A new characterization of Gromov hyperbolicity for negatively curved surfaces

open access: yes, 2021
In this paper we show that to check Gromov hyperbolicity of any surface of constant negative curvature, or, Riemann surface, we only need to verify the Rips condition on a very small class of triangles, namely, those obtained by marking three points in a

Computing the Gromov hyperbolicity constant of a discrete metric space

open access: yes, 2012
Although it was invented by Mikhail Gromov, in 1987, to describe some family of groups[1], the notion of Gromov hyperbolicity has many applications and interpretations in different fields.

Uniform growth in small cancellation groups

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract An open question asks whether every group acting acylindrically on a hyperbolic space has uniform exponential growth. We prove that the class of groups of uniform uniform exponential growth acting acylindrically on a hyperbolic space is closed under taking certain geometric small cancellation quotients.

Sublinear bilipschitz equivalence and the quasiisometric classification of solvable Lie groups

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We prove a product theorem for sublinear bilipschitz equivalences which generalizes the classical work of Kapovich, Kleiner, and Leeb on quasiisometries between product spaces. We employ our product theorem to distinguish up to quasiisometry certain families of solvable groups which share the same dimension, cone‐dimension and Dehn function ...

Gromov hyperbolic groups and the Macaev norm [PDF]

open access: yesPacific Journal of Mathematics, 2006
Let \(\Gamma\) be a Gromov hyperbolic group with a finite set \(A\) of generators. One can consider three quantities: the Coornaert-Papadopoulos topological entropy \(h_{top}(\Sigma(\infty))\) of the subshift associated to \((\Gamma,A)\), Voiculescu's invariant \(k^-_\infty(\lambda_A)\), and the growth entropy \(\text{gr}(\Gamma,A)\).

Circle packings, renormalizations, and subdivision rules

open access: yesProceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In this paper, we use iterations of skinning maps on Teichmüller spaces to study circle packings and develop a renormalization theory for circle packings whose nerves satisfy certain subdivision rules. We characterize when the skinning map has bounded image.

Graph potentials and topological quantum field theories

open access: yesProceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We introduce a new functional equation in birational geometry, whose solutions can be used to construct two‐dimensional topological quantum field theories (2d TQFTs), infinite‐dimensional in many interesting examples. The solutions of the equation give rise to a hierarchy of graph potentials, which, in the simplest setup, are Laurent ...
