Geodesic flow on infinite surfaces
The geodesic flow on a compact hyperbolic surface (i.e. a surface with a riemannian metric of constant curvature $-1$) has been well-studied, in particular it has been known for a long time that it is ...

Are there examples of hyperbolic manifolds with finite Bowen-Margulis measure and fundamental group which is not relatively hyperbolic?
It is well known that a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold (quotient of $H^n$) has finite Bowen-Margulis measure.
Marc Peigné [1] constructed examples of geometrically infinite hyperbolic ...

Density of closed orbits on hyperbolic surfaces
It is well-known that the set of closed geodesics on a closed hyperbolic surface is dense.
My questions:
If this property still holds on finite-area hyperbolic surfaces, infinite-area hyperbolic ...
