We show that the flow on a Bers slice given by the Weil-Petersson gradient vector field of renormalized volume is globally attracting to its fuchsian basepoint.
In this work we show that the Weil-Petersson volume (which coincides with the CM degree) in the case of weighted points in the projective line is continuous when approaching the Calabi-Yau geometry from the Fano geometry. More specifically, the CM volume computed via localization converges to the geometric volume, computed by McMullen with different techniques, when the sum of the weights approaches the Calabi-Yau geometry.
The signed volume function for polyhedra can be generalized to a mean volume function for volume elements by averaging over the triangulations of the underlying polyhedron. If we consider these up to translation and scaling, the resulting quotient space is diffeomorphic to a sphere. The mean volume function restricted to this sphere is a quality measure for volume elements. We show that, the gradient ascent of this map regularizes the building blocks of hybrid meshes consisting of tetrahedra, hexahedra, prisms, pyramids and octahedra, that is, the optimization process converges to regular polyhedra. We show that the (normalized) gradient flow of the mean volume yields a fast and efficient optimization scheme for the finite element method known as the geometric element transformation method (GETMe). Furthermore, we shed some light on the dynamics of this method and the resulting smoothing procedure both theoretically and experimentally.
A relatively fast algorithm for evaluating Weil-Petersson volumes of moduli spaces of complex algebraic curves is proposed. On the basis of numerical data, a conjectural large genus asymptotics of the Weil-Petersson volumes is computed. Asymptotic formulas for the intersection numbers involving $psi$-classes are conjectured as well. The accuracy of the formulas is high enough to believe that they are exact.
A classic theorem of Kazhdan and Margulis states that for any semisimple Lie group without compact factors, there is a positive lower bound on the covolume of lattices. H. C. Wangs subsequent quantitative analysis showed that the fundamental domain of any lattice contains a ball whose radius depends only on the group itself. A direct consequence is a positive minimum volume for orbifolds modeled on the corresponding symmetric space. However, sharp bounds are known only for hyperbolic orbifolds of dimensions two and three, and recently for quaternionic hyperbolic orbifolds of all dimensions. As in arXiv:0911.4712 and arXiv:1205.2011, this article combines H. C. Wangs radius estimate with an improved upper sectional curvature bound for a canonical left-invariant metric on a real semisimple Lie group and uses Gunthers volume comparison theorem to deduce an explicit uniform lower volume bound for arbitrary orbifold quotients of a given irreducible symmetric spaces of non-compact type. The numerical bound for the octonionic hyperbolic plane is the first such bound to be given. For (real) hyperbolic orbifolds of dimension greater than three, the bounds are an improvement over what was previously known.
