Closed geodesics on a closed, negatively curved Riemannian manifold
I have been searching for a while for a proof of the following fact: For a closed Riemannian manifold, all of whose sectional curvatures are negative, each free homotopy class of loops contains a ...

Convex core and geometric finiteness of negatively curved manifolds
I am reading a paper on hyperbolic geometry where they are using the concept of "convex core" in the context of "geometric finiteness". Roughly, this means (from Definition F4 of a ...

The uniqueness of Poincaré metric
The Poincaré metric $ds=\frac{\sqrt{dx^2+dy^2}}{y}$ has the proprety that the action of the group $PSL(2,\mathbb{R})=SL(2,\mathbb{R})/\{\pm I_{2}\}$ on $\mathbb{H}$ preserves the hyperbolic distance.

Further directions in representations of surface group into a Lie group
$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}\DeclareMathOperator\PSL{PSL}$I studied the interpretation of Teichmuller space as a representation space for surface groups in $\PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$.
Now I am planning to ...

A boundary for integrals of eigenfunctions over geodesics?
Let $X$ be a compact hyperbolic surface, and $\gamma$ a closed geodesic on it.
Consider the integral
$$\int_\gamma f(x)\, dl(x)$$
where $f$ is a (normalized) Laplace eigenfunction on $X$. ...

Effect of plumbing a surface on the marked length spectrum
First I'll recall the plumbing procedure.
Let $M$ be a noded Riemann surface with nodes $p_1,\dots, p_n$. There is a family of pairwise disjoint neighbourhoods of each node $U_i$ that has coordinates ...
