Non-accumulation of critical points of the Poincaré time on hyperbolic polycycles
2007
We call Poincare time the time associated to the Poincar6 (or first return) map of a vector field. In this paper we prove the non-accumulation of isolated critical points of the Poincare time T on hyperbolic polycycles of polynomial vector fields. The result is obtained by proving that the Poincare time of a hyperbolic polycycle either has an unbounded principal part or is an almost regular function. The result relies heavily on the proof of Il'yashenko's theorem on non-accumulation of limit cycles on hyperbolic polycycles.
On the hyperbolic limit points of groups acting on hyperbolic spaces
1998
We study the hyperbolic limit points of a groupG acting on a hyperbolic metric space, and consider the question of whether any attractive limit point corresponds to a unique repulsive limit point. In the special case whereG is a (non-elementary) finitely generated hyperbolic group acting on its Cayley graph, the answer is affirmative, and the resulting mapg +↦g −, is discontinuous everywhere on the hyperbolic boundary. We also provide a direct, combinatorial proof in the special case whereG is a (non-abelian) free group of finite type, by characterizing algebraically the hyperbolic ends ofG.
SURFACE SUBGROUPS OF RIGHT-ANGLED ARTIN GROUPS
2007
We consider the question of which right-angled Artin groups contain closed hyperbolic surface subgroups. It is known that a right-angled Artin group $A(K)$ has such a subgroup if its defining graph $K$ contains an $n$-hole (i.e. an induced cycle of length $n$) with $n\geq 5$. We construct another eight "forbidden" graphs and show that every graph $K$ on $\le 8$ vertices either contains one of our examples, or contains a hole of length $\ge 5$, or has the property that $A(K)$ does not contain hyperbolic closed surface subgroups. We also provide several sufficient conditions for a \RAAG to contain no hyperbolic surface subgroups. We prove that for one of these "forbidden" subgraphs $P_2(6)$, …

Total curvatures of convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space
1999
We give sharp upper estimates for the difference circumradius minus inradius and for the angle between the radial vector (respect to the center of an inball) and the normal to the boundary of a compact $h$-convex domain in the hyperpolic space. We apply these estimates to get the limit at the infinity for the quotients Volume/Area and (Total $k$-mean curvature)/Area of a family of $h$-convex domains which expand over the whole space. The theorem for the first quotient gives an extension to arbitrary dimension of a result of Santalo and Yanez for the hyperbolic plane.
THE HOROSPHERICAL GEOMETRY OF SUBMANIFOLDS IN HYPERBOLIC SPACE
2005
Some geometrical properties associated to the contact of submanifolds with hyperhorospheres in hyperbolic -space are studied as an application of the theory of Legendrian singularities.
Non-equivalent hyperbolic knots
2002
We construct, for each integer n 3, pairs of non-equivalent hyperbolic knots with the same 2fold and n-fold cyclic branched covers. We also discuss necessary conditions for such pairs of knots to exist. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: primary 57M25; secondary 57M12, 57M50
Non-immersion theorem for a class of hyperbolic manifolds
1998
Abstract It is proved that a non-simply-connected complete hyperbolic manifold cannot be isometrically immersed in a Euclidean space with a flat normal connection. In particular, the complete hyperbolic manifold M n with π 1 ( M ) ≠ 0 cannot be isometrically immersed in R 2 n − 1 .
The horospherical Gauss-Bonnet type theorem in hyperbolic space
2006
We introduce the notion horospherical curvatures of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space and show that totally umbilic hypersurfaces with vanishing cur- vatures are only horospheres. We also show that the Gauss-Bonnet type theorem holds for the horospherical Gauss-Kronecker curvature of a closed orientable even dimensional hypersurface in hyperbolic space. + (i1) by using the model in Minkowski space. We introduced the notion of hyperbolic Gauss indicatrices slightly modified the definition of hyperbolic Gauss maps. The notion of hyperbolic indicatrices is independent of the choice of the model of hyperbolic space. Using the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix, we defined the principal hyperbolic curv…
