This article investigates the genericity of ergodic probability measures for the geodesic flow on Riemannian manifolds. We demonstrate that if the metric splits as a product metric within a tubular neighborhood of a geodesically complete submanifold containing a closed geodesic, then the closure of the set of ergodic measures does not encompass all invariant probability measures. Our findings notably provide an answer to the question of genericity of ergodic measures concerning a specific example of 3-manifold introduced by Gromov.

We show that each connected component of the moduli space of smooth real binary quintics is isomorphic to an open subset of an arithmetic quotient of the real hyperbolic plane. Moreover, our main result says that the induced metric on this moduli space extends to a complete real hyperbolic orbifold structure on the space of stable real binary quintics. This turns the moduli space of stable real binary quintics into the quotient of the real hyperbolic plane by an explicit non-arithmetic triangle group.

A convex body R in the hyperbolic plane is called reduced if any convex body $K\subset R$ has a smaller minimal width than R. We answer a few of Lassak’s questions about ordinary reduced polygons regarding its perimeter, diameter, and circumradius, and we also obtain a hyperbolic extension of a result of Fabińska.

Recently, Benini et al showed that, in simply connected wandering domains of entire functions, all pairs of orbits behave in the same way relative to the hyperbolic metric, thus giving us our first insight into the general internal dynamics of such domains. The author proved in a recent paper [G. R. Ferreira. Multiply connected wandering domains of meromorphic functions: internal dynamics andconnectivity. J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 106 (2022), 1897–1919] that the same is not true for multiply connected wandering domains, a natural question is how inhomogeneous multiply connected wandering domains can be. We give an answer to this question, in that we show that uniform dynamics inside an open subset of the domain generalizes to the whole wandering domain. As an application of this result, we construct the first example of a meromorphic function with a semi-contracting infinitely connected wandering domain.

We consider the Weil–Petersson gradient vector field of renormalized volume on the deformation space of convex cocompact hyperbolic structures on (relatively) acylindrical manifolds. In this paper we prove the conjecture that the flow has a global attracting fixed point at the unique structure $M_{\rm geod}$ with minimum convex core volume.

We study a class of two-variable polynomials called exact polynomials which contains $A$-polynomials of knot complements. The Mahler measure of these polynomials can be computed in terms of a volume function defined on the vanishing set of the polynomial. We prove that the local extrema of the volume function are on the two-dimensional torus and give a closed formula for the Mahler measure in terms of these extremal values. This formula shows that the Mahler measure of an irreducible and exact polynomial divided by $\pi$ is greater than the amplitude of the volume function. We also prove a K-theoretic criterion for a polynomial to be a factor of an $A$-polynomial and give a topological interpretation of its Mahler measure.

At each point of a Poisson point process of intensity λ in the hyperbolic plane, center a ball of bounded random radius. Consider the probability P r that, from a fixed point, there is some direction in which one can reach distance r without hitting any ball. It is known (see Benjamini, Jonasson, Schramm and Tykesson (2009)) that if λ is strictly smaller than a critical intensity λ gv thenP r does not go to 0 as r → ∞. The main result in this note shows that in the case λ=λ gv, the probability of reaching a distance larger than r decays essentially polynomially, while if λ>λ gv, the decay is exponential. We also extend these results to various related models and we finally obtain asymptotic results in several situations.

We establish two-sided bounds for the complexity of two infinite series of closed orientable three-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds, the Löbell manifolds and the Fibonacci manifolds. The manifolds of the two series are indexed by an integer n and the corresponding complexity estimates are both linear in n.
