In this article, we consider a closed rank one Riemannian manifold $M$ without focal points. Let $P(t)$ be the set of free-homotopy classes containing a closed geodesic on $M$ with length at most $t$, and $# P(t)$ its cardinality. We obtain the following Margulis-type asymptotic estimates: [lim_{tto infty}#P(t)/frac{e^{ht}}{ht}=1] where $h$ is the topological entropy of the geodesic flow. In the appendix, we also show that the unique measure of maximal entropy of the geodesic flow has the Bernoulli property.

In this article, we study the ergodicity of the geodesic flows on surfaces with no focal points. Let $M$ be a smooth connected and closed surface equipped with a $C^infty$ Riemannian metric $g$, whose genus $mathfrak{g} geq 2$. Suppose that $(M,g)$ h
as no focal points. We prove that the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of $M$ is ergodic with respect to the Liouville measure, under the assumption that the set of points on $M$ with negative curvature has at most finitely many connected components.
We study closed non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds $M$ which admit `fat $k$-flats: that is, the universal cover $tilde M$ contains a positive radius neighborhood of a $k$-flat on which the sectional curvatures are identically zero. We investi
gate how the fat $k$-flats affect the cardinality of the collection of closed geodesics. Our first main result is to construct rank $1$ non-positively curved manifolds with a fat $1$-flat which corresponds to a twisted cylindrical neighborhood of a geodesic on $M$. As a result, $M$ contains an embedded closed geodesic with a flat neighborhood, but $M$ nevertheless has only countably many closed geodesics. Such metrics can be constructed on finite covers of arbitrary odd-dimensional finite volume hyperbolic manifolds. Our second main result is to prove a closing theorem for fat flats, which implies that a manifold $M$ with a fat $k$-flat contains an immersed, totally geodesic $k$-dimensional flat closed submanifold. This guarantees the existence of uncountably many closed geodesics when $k geq 2$. Finally, we collect results on thermodynamic formalism for the class of manifolds considered in this paper.
We compute the asymptotics, as R tends to infinity, of the number of closed geodesics in Moduli space of length at most R, or equivalently the number of pseudo-Anosov elements of the mapping class group of translation length at most R.
Let $Q$ be a closed manifold admitting a locally-free action of a compact Lie group $G$. In this paper we study the properties of geodesic flows on $Q$ given by Riemannian metrics which are invariant by such an action. In particular, we will be inter
ested in the existence of geodesics which are closed up to the action of some element in the group $G$, since they project to closed magnetic geodesics on the quotient orbifold $Q/G$.
Froyshov invariants are numerical invariants of rational homology three-spheres derived from gradings in monopole Floer homology. In the past few years, they have been employed to solve a wide range of problems in three and four-dimensional topology.
In this paper, we look at connections with hyperbolic geometry for the class of minimal $L$-spaces. In particular, we study relations between Froyshov invariants and closed geodesics using ideas from analytic number theory. We discuss two main applications of our approach. First, we derive effective upper bounds for the Froyshov invariants of minimal hyperbolic $L$-spaces purely in terms of volume and injectivity radius. Second, we describe an algorithm to compute Froyshov invariants of minimal $L$-spaces in terms of data arising from hyperbolic geometry. As a concrete example of our method, we compute the Froyshov invariants for all spin$^c$ structures on the Seifert-Weber dodecahedral space. Along the way, we also prove several results about the eta invariants of the odd signature and Dirac operators on hyperbolic three-manifolds which might be of independent interest.
