Phillips-Sarnak conjecture in higher dimension
The Phillips-Sarnak conjecture states that for a generic Fuchsian lattice the space of Maass cusp forms is finite-dimensional. Generic here means in particular non-uniform, non-arithmetic, no special ...

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 ...

What is the explicit relationship between the shape parameters and the holonomy of a hyperbolic ideal triangulation?
Let $K$ be a hyperbolic knot in $S^3$. One way to describe the hyperbolic structure is to give a discrete, faithful representation $\pi_1(S^3 \setminus K) \to \operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb C)$, the ...

Variants of Selberg trace formula
I am familiar with a basic case of Selberg's trace formula, in the case of quotients of upper half plane (for example, see Sections 5.1 - 5.3 of Bergeron's book). Section 5.1 describes a general setup ...

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.

Curvature $\geq-1$ but not $\geq1$
(Edited again)
In the following, for brevity, I will say that $$X\ \ \mathrm{has}\ \ \kappa_{\mathrm{max}}=k$$ if $X$ is a compact ($n$-dimensional with $n\geq2$, with empty boundary) Aleksandrov ...

The relationship between convex hulls
Consider a (f.g., classical) Schottky group acting on $\mathbb H^3$; consider a convex hull of the limit set $C(\Lambda)$ and a convex hull of a closure of an orbit of a point on $\mathbb CP^1,$ $C(\...

Showing an action of a higher rank lattice on hyperbolic space has a fixed point
In the introduction to this paper, the author mentions that any action of a lattice $\Gamma < G$ on a rank one symmetric space $X$ has a fixed point, where $G$ is a higher rank semisimple algebraic ...

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 ...

Arithmetic product and sum of limit sets of non-elementary Fuchsian group of second kind
Let $L \subset \mathbb{R}$ be a limit set of a Fuchsian group $\Gamma$. If $\Gamma$ is a non-elementary Fuchsian group of second kind, then $L$ is a Cantor set. For example: $\Gamma= \bigg\langle \...
