Closed Geodesics in Homology Classes for Convex Co-Compact Hyperbolic Manifolds

Let be a convex co-compact, torsion-free, discrete group of isometries of real hyperbolic space H ⁿ⁺¹. We compute the asymptotics of the counting function for closed geodesics in homology classes for the quotient manifold X = \H ⁿ⁺¹, under the assumption that H ¹(X, Z) is infinite. Our results imply asymptotic equipartition of geodesics in distinct homology classes.

The Minimal Length of a Closed Geodesic Net on a Riemannian Manifold with a Nontrivial Second Homology Group

Let Mⁿ be a closed Riemannian manifold with a nontrivial second homology group. In this paper we prove that there exists a geodesic net on Mⁿ of length at most 3 diameter(Mⁿ). Moreover, this geodesic net is either a closed geodesic, consists of two geodesic loops emanating from the same point, or consists of three geodesic segments between the same endpoints. Geodesic nets can be viewed as the critical points of the length functional on the space of graphs immersed into a Riemannian manifold. One can also consider other natural functionals on the same space, in particular, the maximal length of an edge. We prove that either there exists a closed geodesic of length ≤ 2 diameter(Mⁿ), or there exists a critical point of this functional on the space of immersed θ-graphs such that the value of the functional does not exceed the diameter of Mⁿ. If n=2, then this critical θ-graph is not only immersed but embedded.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000). 53C23, 49Q10     

On the Existence of Focal Points near Closed Geodesics on Surfaces

We establish some criteria for the existence or nonexistence of focal points near closed geodesics on surfaces. These criteria are in terms of the curvature of the manifold along the closed geodesic and the average values of the partial derivatives of the curvature in the direction perpendicular to the geodesic. Our criteria lead to a new family of examples of surfaces with no focal points. We also show that if S is a compact surface with no focal points and an inequality relating the curvature of the surface to the curvature of the horocycles holds, then the horocycles (considered as curves in S) are uniformly C ^2+Lipschitz.     

Geometrical Decomposition of the Free Loop Space on a Manifold with Finitely Many Closed Geodesics

In Morse theory an isolated degenerate critical point can be resolved into a finite number of nondegenerate critical points by perturbing the totally degenerate part of the Morse function inside the domain of a generalized Morse chart. Up to homotopy we can admit pertubations within the whole characteristic manifold. Up to homotopy type a relative CW-complex is attached, which is the product of a big relative CW-complex, representing the degenerate part, and a small cell having the dimension of the Morse index.     

Dehn Twists and Products of Mapping Classes of Riemann Surfaces with One Puncture

Let S be a Riemann surface that contains one puncture x. Let ℐ be the collection of simple closed geodesics on S, and let ℱ denote the set of mapping classes on S isotopic to the identity on S ∪ {x}. Denote by t _c the positive Dehn twist about a curve c ∈ ℐ. In this paper, the author studies the products of forms (t _b ^−m ∘ t _a ⁿ ) ∘ f ^k , where a, b ∈ ℐ and f ∈ ℱ. It is easy to see that if a = b or a, b are boundary components of an x-punctured cylinder on S, then one may find an element f ∈ ℱ such that the sequence (t _b ^−m ∘ t _n ^a ) ∘ f ^k contains infinitely many powers of Dehn twists. The author shows that the converse statement remains true, that is, if the sequence (t _b ^−m ∘ t _a ⁿ ) ∘ f ^k contains infinitely many powers of Dehn twists, then a, b must be the boundary components of an x-punctured cylinder on S and f is a power of the spin map t _b ⁻¹ ∘ t _a .

Let S be a Riemann sphere with n ≥ 4 points deleted.

Numerical tests are also provided in order to show the features of our methods.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Simple waves and characteristic decompositions of quasilinear hyperbolic systems in two independent variables

This paper is concerned with the simple waves for the general quasilinear strictly hyperbolic systems in two independent variables. By using the method of characteristic decomposition, we first establish a more general sufficient condition for the existence of characteristic decompositions. These decompositions allow us to extend a well‐known result on reducible equations by Courant and Friedrichs to the non‐reducible equations. Then we construct a simple wave solution, in which the characteristics may be a set of non‐straight curves, around a given curve under the obtained sufficient condition.

Note on Conic Bundles over Henselian Discrete Valued Fields with Real Closed Residue Field

ABSTRACT

Let ? be a complete set of Sylow subgroups of a finite group G, that is, ? contains exactly one and only one Sylow p-subgroup of G for each prime p. A subgroup H of a finite group G is said to be ?-permutable if H permutes with every member of ?. The purpose of this article is to study the influence of ?-permutability of all maximal subgroups of the Sylow subgroups of the generalized Fitting subgroup of some normal subgroup of a finite group G on the structure of G.

Canonical measures on the moduli spaces of compact Riemann surfaces

We study some explicit relations between the canonical line bundle and the Hodge bundle over moduli spaces for low genus. This leads to a natural measure on the moduli space of every genus which is related to the Siegel symplectic metric on Siegel upper half-space as well as to the Hodge metric on the Hodge bundle.     

A Note on Shiffman's Theorems

Shiffman proved his famous first theorem, that if A R³ is a compact minimal annulus bounded by two convex Jordan curves in parallel (say horizontal) planes, then A is foliated by strictly convex horizontal Jordan curves. In this article we use Perron's method to construct minimal annuli which have a planar end and are bounded by two convex Jordan curves in horizontal planes, but the horizontal level sets of the surfaces are not all convex Jordan curves or straight lines. These surfaces show that unlike his second and third theorems, Shiffman's first theorem is not generalizable without further qualification.
