Birman-Series for variable negative curvature
A famous theorem of Birman and Series says that if $S$ is a compact hyperbolic surface, then the set of points that lie on simple geodesics is nowhere dense and has Hausdorff dimension one; in ...

Is this $a(p)=\lim_{r\to \infty} \frac{VolS(p,r)}{e^{h r}}$ exists and applied for manifolds with positive curvature?
In $1969$, Margulis proved, for suitable constant $h>0$and $r$ is a positive constant that :
$a(p)=\lim_{r\to \infty} \frac{VolS(p,r)}{e^{h r}}$ with ($(S(p,r)$ is geodesic spheres), exists at ...

Riemannian metric on the sphere with at least one negative sectional curvature at every point
Does there exist a Riemannian metric on the $n$-sphere ($n > 2$) such that at each point some (but not every) sectional curvature is negative?
For $n=2$ it is easily seen that such a metric ...

Cusps as warped products
It is well-known that the ends of a finite-volume hyperbolic manifold are warped products $$(0,\infty)\times_f T$$
for some euclidean manifold $T$ and $f(t)=e^{-t}$.
Question: Is there a similar ...
