Abstract (Expand)

We construct combinatorial volume forms of hyperbolic three manifolds fibering over the circle. These forms define non-trivial classes in bounded cohomology. After introducing a new seminorm on exact bounded cohomology, we use these combinatorial classes to show that, in degree 3, the zero norm subspace of the bounded cohomology of an acylindrically hyperbolic group is infinite dimensional. In the appendix we use the same techniques to give a cohomological proof of a lower bound, originally due to Brock, on the volume of the mapping torus of a cobounded pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a closed surface in terms of its Teichmüller translation distance.

For d=4, 5, 6, 7, 8, we exhibit examples of \mathrm AdS^d,1 strictly GHC-regular groups which are not quasi-isometric to the hyperbolic space \mathbbH^d, nor to any symmetric space. This provides as a negative answer to Question 5.2 in a work of Barbot et al. and disproves Conjecture 8.11 of Barbot-Mérigot [Groups Geom. Dyn. 6 (2012), pp. 441-483]. We construct those examples using the Tits representation of well-chosen Coxeter groups. On the way, we give an alternative proof of Moussong’s hyperbolicity criterion (Ph.D. Thesis) for Coxeter groups built on Danciger-Guéritaud-Kassel’s 2017 work and find examples of Coxeter groups W such that the space of strictly GHC-regular representations of W into \mathrm PO_d,2(\mathbbR) up to conjugation is disconnected.

Abstract (Expand)

We show that group actions on irreducible \CAT cube complexes with no free faces are uniquely determined by their \ell^1 length function. Actions are allowed to be non-proper and non-cocompact, as long as they are minimal and have no finite orbit in the visual boundary. This is, to our knowledge, the first length-spectrum rigidity result in a setting of \emphnon-positive curvature (with the exception of some particular cases in dimension 2 and symmetric spaces). As our main tool, we develop a notion of cross ratio on Roller boundaries of \CAT cube complexes. Inspired by results in \emphnegative curvature, we give a general framework reducing length-spectrum rigidity questions to the problem of extending cross-ratio preserving maps between (subsets of) Roller boundaries. The core of our work is then to show that, when there are no free faces, these cross-ratio preserving maps always extend to cubical isomorphisms. All our results equally apply to cube complexes with variable edge lengths. As a special case of our work, we construct a compactification of the Char\-ney–Stambaugh–Vogtmann Outer Space for the group of untwisted outer automorphisms of an (irreducible) right-angled Artin group. This generalises the length function compactification of the classical Culler–Vogtmann Outer Space.

Abstract (Expand)

Given an action on a metric space one can associate to each element of the group its translation length. This gives a function of the group to the reals called the marked length spectrum. Addingked length spectrum. Adding requirements for space and action, it is a natural question if the marked length spectrum already uniquely defines space and action. In this talk we want to show that this is the case when considering CAT(0) cube complexes (under some natural assumptions). The main tool to prove this will be a boundary rigidity using cross ratios. Joint workwith Elia Fioravanti.

Abstract (Expand)

In 1986 William P. Thurston introduced the celebrated (asymmetric) Lipschitz distance on the Teichmueller space of a (closed or punctured) surface. In this paper we extend his work to the Teichmueller space of a surface with boundary endowed the arc distance. In this new setting we construct a large family of geodesics, which generalize Thurston’s stretch lines. We prove that the Teichmueller space of a surface with boundary, endowed with the arc distance, is a geodesic metric space. Furthermore, the arc distance is induced by a Finsler metric. As a corollary, we describe a new class of geodesics in the Teichmueller space of a closed/punctured surface that are not stretch lines in the sense of Thurston.
