Negative sectional curvature and constant curvature

Good morning everyone, I was wondering about the difference between manifolds carrying a Riemannian metric with negative sectional curvature and hyperbolic manifolds. I was told once "there are very f …

When are those subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb{C})$ discrete?

Let $A = \pmatrix{1 & 0 \\ \alpha & 1} $ and $ B = \pmatrix{1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1}$, where $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is a complex parameter. Now consider the family of representations $r_{\alpha}$ of the fre …

When do the lengths of simple closed curves determine a hyperbolic surface?

Consider hyperbolic metrics on $\Sigma_g$ a closed orientable surface of genus $g$. Let $[\gamma_1] , \cdots, [\gamma_n]$ be a finite collection of isotopy classes of simple closed curves on $\Sigma_g …

Fundamental group of an hyperbolic $4$-manifold

Good afternoon everyone, I have a very general question about hyperbolic manifolds and their fundamental groups in high dimension (at least $4$). If the theory of surfaces and $3$-manifolds provide …

Fixed point set of an isometric group action on an hyperbolic manifold

Good morning, I'm trying to understand the following fact, that is stated in Gromov and Thurston's paper "Pinching constants for hyperbolic manifolds" : Let $M$ be a (at least) 3-dimensional compact …

Fixed submanifolds of the sphere at infinity of $\mathbb{H}^n$

Good afternoon, Take a submanifold $V$ of codimension $1$ of the sphere at infinity of $\mathbb{H}^n$ which is not the sphere at infinity of a totally geodesic hyperplane $\mathbb{H}^{n-1} \subset \m …
