We study the asymptotics of the number N(t) of geometrically distinct closed geodesics of a Riemannian or Finsler metric on a connected sum of two compact manifolds of dimension at least three with non-trivial fundamental groups and apply this result to the prime decomposition of a three-manifold. In particular we show that the function N(t) grows at least like the prime numbers on a compact 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group. It follows that a generic Riemannian metric on a compact 3-manifold has infinitely many geometrically distinct closed geodesics. We also consider the case of a connected sum of a compact manifold with positive first Betti number and a simply-connected manifold which is not homeomorphic to a sphere.

It is shown that within the Lp-Brunn–Minkowski theory that Aleksandrov’s integral curvature has a natural Lp extension, for all real p. This raises the question of finding necessary and sufficient conditions on a given measure in order for it to be the Lp-integral curvature of a convex body. This problem is solved for positive p and is answered for negative p provided the given measure is even.

In this paper we consider type-preserving representations of the fundamental group of the three--holed projective plane into $mathrm{PGL}(2, R) =mathrm{Isom}(HH^2)$ and study the connected components with non-maximal euler class. We show that in euler class zero for all such representations there is a one simple closed curve which is non-hyperbolic, while in euler class $pm 1$ we show that there are $6$ components where all the simple closed curves are sent to hyperbolic elements and $2$ components where there are simple closed curves sent to non-hyperbolic elements. This answer a question asked by Brian Bowditch. In addition, we show also that in most of these components the action of the mapping class group on these non-maximal component is ergodic. In this work, we use an extension of Kashaev's theory of decorated character varieties to the context of non-orientable surfaces.

The current article stems from our study on the asymptotic behavior of holomorphic isometric embeddings of the Poincare disk into bounded symmetric domains. As a first result we prove that any holomorphic curve exiting the boundary of a bounded symmetric domain $Omega$ must necessarily be asymptotically totally geodesic. Assuming otherwise we derive by the method of rescaling a hypothetical holomorphic isometric embedding of the Poincare disk with ${rm Aut}(Omega')$-equivalent tangent spaces into a tube domain $Omega' subset Omega$ and derive a contradiction by means of the Poincare-Lelong equation. We deduce that equivariant holomorphic embeddings between bounded symmetric domains must be totally geodesic. Furthermore, we solve a uniformization problem on algebraic subsets $Z subset Omega$. More precisely, if $check Gammasubset {rm Aut}(Omega)$ is a torsion-free discrete subgroup leaving $Z$ invariant such that $Z/check Gamma$ is compact, we prove that $Z subset Omega$ is totally geodesic. In particular, letting $Gamma subset{rm Aut}(Omega)$ be a torsion-free lattice, and $pi: Omega to Omega/Gamma =: X_Gamma$ be the uniformization map, a subvariety $Y subset X_Gamma$ must be totally geodesic whenever some (and hence any) irreducible component $Z$ of $pi^{-1}(Y)$ is an algebraic subset of $Omega$. For cocompact lattices this yields a characterization of totally geodesic subsets of $X_Gamma$ by means of bi-algebraicity without recourse to the celebrated monodromy result of Andre-Deligne on subvarieties of Shimura varieties, and as such our proof applies to not necessarily arithmetic cocompact lattices.

A subject of recent interest in inverse problems is whether a corner must diffract fixed frequency waves. We generalize this question somewhat and study cones $[0,infty)times Y$ which do not diffract high frequency waves. We prove that if $Y$ is analytic and does not diffract waves at high frequency then every geodesic on $Y$ is closed with period $2pi$. Moreover, we show that if $dim Y=2$, then $Y$ is isometric to either the sphere of radius 1 or its $mathbb{Z}^2$ quotient, $mathbb{R}mathbb{P}^2$.

A well known Conjecture due to Beloshapka asserts that all totally nondegenerate polynomial models with the length $lgeq 3$ of their Levi-Tanaka algebra are {em rigid}, that is, any point preserving automorphism of them is completely determined by the restriction of its differential at the fixed point onto the complex tangent space. For the length $l=3$, Beloshapka's Conjecture was proved by Gammel and Kossovskiy in 2006. In this paper, we prove the Conjecture for arbitrary length $lgeq 3$. As another application of our method, we construct polynomial models of length $lgeq 3$, which are not totally nondegenerate and admit large groups of point preserving nonlinear automorphisms.

We prove the Turaev-Viro invariants volume conjecture for complements of fundamental shadow links: an infinite family of hyperbolic link complements in connected sums of copies of $S^1times S^2$. The main step of the proof is to find a sharp upper bound on the growth rate of the quantum $6j-$symbol evaluated at $e^{frac{2pi i}{r}}.$ As an application of the main result, we show that the volume of any hyperbolic 3-manifold with empty or toroidal boundary can be estimated in terms of the Turaev-Viro invariants of an appropriate link contained in it. We also build additional evidence for a conjecture of Andersen, Masbaum and Ueno (AMU conjecture) about the geometric properties of surface mapping class groups detected by the quantum representations.
