Products of Hyperbolic Metric Spaces

Let (X _i d _i ), i=1,2, be proper geodesic hyperbolic metric spaces. We give a general construction for a 'hyperbolic product' X ₁× _h X ₂ which is itself a proper geodesic hyperbolic metric space and examine its boundary at infinity.     

The Apollonian inner metric and uniform domains

In this paper we characterize uniform domains in terms of the Apollonian inner metric and the j‐metric, thus providing solutions to two open problems given in [16]. We also discuss the relationships among uniform, A‐uniform, Apollonian quasiconvex and quasi‐isotropic domains (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Some Groups Having Only Elementary Actions on Metric Spaces with Hyperbolic Boundaries

We study isometric actions of certain groups on metric spaces with hyperbolic-type bordifications. The class of groups considered includes SL _n (), Artin braid groups and mapping class groups of surfaces (except the lower rank ones). We prove that in various ways such actions must be elementary. Most of our results hold for non-locally compact spaces and extend what is known for actions on proper CAT(-1) and Gromov hyperbolic spaces. We also show that SL _n () for n 3 cannot act on a visibility space X without fixing a point in . Corollaries concern Floyd's group completion, linear actions on strictly convex cones, and metrics on the moduli spaces of compact Riemann surfaces. Some remarks on bounded generation are also included.     

Apollonian circle packings: number theory

Apollonian circle packings arise by repeatedly filling the interstices between mutually tangent circles with further tangent circles. It is possible for every circle in such a packing to have integer radius of curvature, and we call such a packing an integral Apollonian circle packing. This paper studies number-theoretic properties of the set of integer curvatures appearing in such packings. Each Descartes quadruple of four tangent circles in the packing gives an integer solution to the Descartes equation, which relates the radii of curvature of four mutually tangent circles: . Each integral Apollonian circle packing is classified by a certain root quadruple of integers that satisfies the Descartes equation, and that corresponds to a particular quadruple of circles appearing in the packing. We express the number of root quadruples with fixed minimal element −n as a class number, and give an exact formula for it. We study which integers occur in a given integer packing, and determine congruence restrictions which sometimes apply. We present evidence suggesting that the set of integer radii of curvatures that appear in an integral Apollonian circle packing has positive density, and in fact represents all sufficiently large integers not excluded by congruence conditions. Finally, we discuss asymptotic properties of the set of curvatures obtained as the packing is recursively constructed from a root quadruple.
