We exhibit a closed aspherical 5-manifold of nonpositive curvature that fibers over a circle whose fundamental group is hyperbolic relative to abelian subgroups such that the fiber is a closed aspherical 4-manifold whose fundamental group is not hyperbolic relative to abelian subgroups.
We define a notion of semi-conjugacy between orientation-preserving actions of a group on the circle, which for fixed point free actions coincides with a classical definition of Ghys. We then show that two circle actions are semi-conjugate if and onl
We answer the question of when the underlying space of an orbifold is a manifold with boundary in several categories.
We study the convergence of volume-normalized Betti numbers in Benjamini-Schramm convergent sequences of non-positively curved manifolds with finite volume. In particular, we show that if $X$ is an irreducible symmetric space of noncompact type, $X
In this article, we consider a closed rank one $C^infty$ Riemannian manifold $M$ of nonpositive curvature and its universal cover $X$. Let $b_t(x)$ be the Riemannian volume of the ball of radius $t>0$ around $xin X$, and $h$ the topological entropy o
This is an expository proof that, if $M$ is a compact $n$-manifold with no boundary, then the set of holonomies of strictly-convex real-projective structures on $M$ is a subset of $operatorname{Hom}(pi_1M,operatorname{PGL}(n+1,mathbb RR))$ that is both open and closed.
