Let $S$ be a compact, connected, oriented surface, possibly with boundary, of negative Euler characteristic. In this article we extend Lindenstrauss-Mirzakhanis and Hamenstadts classification of locally finite mapping class group invariant ergodic measures on the space of measured laminations $mathcal{M}mathcal{L}(S)$ to the space of geodesic currents $mathcal{C}(S)$, and we discuss the homogeneous case. Moreover, we extend Lindenstrauss-Mirzakhanis classification of orbit closures to $mathcal{C}(S)$. Our argument relies on their results and on the decomposition of a current into a sum of three currents with isotopically disjoint supports: a measured lamination without closed leaves, a simple multi-curve and a current that binds its hull.
We show that for a closed surface of genus at least 5, or a surface of genus at least 2 with at least one marked point, the set of uniquely ergodic foliations and the set of cobounded foliations is path-connected and locally path-connected.
We propose a general framework for studying pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms on translation surfaces. This new approach, among other consequences, allows us to compute the systole of the Teichmueller geodesic flow restricted to the hyperelliptic connected components, settling a question of Farb. We stress that all proofs and computations are performed without the help of a computer. As a byproduct, our methods give a way to describe the bottom of the lengths spectrum of the hyperelliptic components.
For every $rinmathbb{N}_{geq 2}cup{infty}$, we show that the space of ergodic measures is path connected for $C^r$-generic Lorenz attractors while it is not connected for $C^r$-dense Lorenz attractors. Various properties of the ergodic measure space for Lorenz attractors have been showed. In particular, a $C^r$-connecting lemma ($rgeq2$) for Lorenz attractors also has been proved. In $C^1$-topology, we obtain similar properties for singular hyperbolic attractors in higher dimensions.
We build an analogue of the Gromov boundary for any proper geodesic metric space, hence for any finitely generated group. More precisely, for any proper geodesic metric space $X$ and any sublinear function $kappa$, we construct a boundary for $X$, denoted $mathcal{partial}_{kappa} X$, that is quasi-isometrically invariant and metrizable. As an application, we show that when $G$ is the mapping class group of a finite type surface, or a relatively hyperbolic group, then with minimal assumptions the Poisson boundary of $G$ can be realized on the $kappa$-Morse boundary of $G$ equipped the word metric associated to any finite generating set.
We proved the contractibility of the deformation space of the geodesic triangulations on a closed surface of negative curvature. This solves an open problem proposed by Connelly et al. in 1983, in the case of hyperbolic surfaces. The main part of the proof is a generalization of Tuttes embedding theorem for closed surfaces of negative curvature.
