Right-angled polytopes
%This question is motivated by the little discussion here at the bottom.
The following thing are known about hyperbolic right-angled polytopes:
Compact hyperbolic right-angled polytopes do not exist ...

When is a word metric on a CAT(-1) group a bounded distance from the orbit map of an isometric action on some CAT(-k) metric space?
Let $\Gamma$ be a group admitting a discrete and cocompact action on a CAT(-1) space.
Let $d$ a word metric on $\Gamma$ coming from some finite set of generators.
My question is:
Does there exist a ...

Exponential contraction for the projection on horospheres
A few years ago, Roberto Frigerio asked for a reference for a geometric property of horospheres (Reference for the geometry of horospheres), namely exponential decay of the projection onto a ...

Relation of geometric and polyhedral convergence
By Proposition 3.10(i) of Jorgensen and Marden's 1990 Algebraic and geometric convergence of Kleinian groups, "[A] sequence $\{G_n\}$ of Kleinian groups converges geometrically to a Kleinian ...

Does the orbital function divided by the volume of a ball decrease?
Let $X$ be a Cartan-Hadamard manifold, meaning a complete, connected, simply connected Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature and $\Gamma < Isom(X)$ a discrete group of ...

Uniform continuity of length function on geodesic currents
I'm starting to study geodesic currents and I have a question concerning uniform continuity.
Let's take $S$ a closed surface of genus $g$ and $GC(S)$ the space of geodesic currents on $S$ (as it is ...

Structure of hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume
Let $X$ be a hyperbolic manifold of finite volume.
I want to prove that $X$ has ends of the form $N\times \mathbb{R}$ where $N$ has a finite covering by a nilmanifold and $\pi_1N\to \pi_1 X$ is ...

Continuity of conformal grafting, wrt the (infinite type) surface
Say I have two closed hyperbolic surfaces $X,Y$ and a smooth, $(1+\epsilon)$-bilipschitz map $f : X \to Y$ for some small $\epsilon$. Pick a simple closed curve $c \subset X$, and let $X',Y'$ be the ...
