In this note, we study the dynamics and associated zeta functions of conformally compact manifolds with variable negative sectional curvatures. We begin with a discussion of a larger class of manifolds known as convex co-compact manifolds with variable negative curvature. Applying results from dynamics on these spaces, we obtain optimal meromorphic extensions of weighted dynamical zeta functions and asymptotic counting estimates for the number of weighted closed geodesics. A meromorphic extension of the standard dynamical zeta function and the prime orbit theorem follow as corollaries. Finally, we investigate interactions between the dynamics and spectral theory of these spaces.

In this paper, we establish a compactness result for a class of conformally compact Einstein metrics defined on manifolds of dimension $dge 4$. As an application, we derive the global uniqueness of a class of conformally compact Einstein metric defined on the $d$-dimensional ball constructed in the earlier work of Graham-Lee with $dge 4$. As a second application, we establish some gap phenomenon for a class of conformal invariants.
We classify quadruples $(M,g,m,tau)$ in which $(M,g)$ is a compact Kahler manifold of complex dimension $m>2$ with a nonconstant function $tau$ on $M$ such that the conformally related metric $g/tau^2$, defined wherever $tau e 0$, is Einstein. It turns out that $M$ then is the total space of a holomorphic $CP^1$ bundle over a compact Kahler-Einstein manifold $(N,h)$. The quadruples in question constitute four disjoint families: one, well-known, with Kahler metrics $g$ that are locally reducible; a second, discovered by Berard Bergery (1982), and having $tau e 0$ everywhere; a third one, related to the second by a form of analytic continuation, and analogous to some known Kahler surface metrics; and a fourth family, present only in odd complex dimensions $mge 9$. Our classification uses a {it moduli curve}, which is a subset $mathcal{C}$, depending on $m$, of an algebraic curve in $R^2$. A point $(u,v)$ in $mathcal{C}$ is naturally associated with any $(M,g,m,tau)$ having all of the above properties except for compactness of $M$, replaced by a weaker requirement of ``vertical compactness. One may in turn reconstruct $M,g$ and $tau$ from this $(u,v)$ coupled with some other data, among them a Kahler-Einstein base $(N,h)$ for the $CP^1$ bundle $M$. The points $(u,v)$ arising in this way from $(M,g,m,tau)$ with compact $M$ form a countably infinite subset of $mathcal{C}$.
We characterize manifolds which are locally conformally equivalent to either complex projective space or to its negative curvature dual in terms of their Weyl curvature tensor. As a byproduct of this investigation, we classify the conformally complex space forms if the dimension is at least 8. We also study when the Jacobi operator associated to the Weyl conformal curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold has constant eigenvalues on the bundle of unit tangent vectors and classify such manifolds which are not conformally flat in dimensions congruent to 2 mod 4.
We show that locally conformally flat quasi-Einstein manifolds are globally conformally equivalent to a space form or locally isometric to a $pp$-wave or a warped product.
We study the existence of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian orbifolds, and on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a cocompact, isometric group action. We show that every noncontractible Riemannian manifold which admits such an action, and every odd-dimensional, compact Riemannian orbifold has a nontrivial closed geodesic.
