The metric space of geodesic laminations on a surface: I
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the space of geodesic laminations on a surface, endowed with the Hausdorff metric dH and with a variation of this metric called the dlog metric. We compute and/or estimate the Hausdorff dimensions of these two metrics. We also relate these two metrics to another metric which is combinatorially defined in terms of train tracks.

The metric space of geodesic laminations on a surface II: small surfaces
We continue our investigation of the space of geodesic laminations on a surface, endowed with the Hausdorff topology. We determine the topology of this space for the once punctured torus and the 4–times punctured sphere. For these two surfaces, we also compute the Hausdorff dimension of the space of geodesic laminations, when it is endowed with the natural metric which, for small distances, is ...
متن کاملAssessment of the Log-Euclidean Metric Performance in Diffusion Tensor Image Segmentation
Introduction: Appropriate definition of the distance measure between diffusion tensors has a deep impact on Diffusion Tensor Image (DTI) segmentation results. The geodesic metric is the best distance measure since it yields high-quality segmentation results. However, the important problem with the geodesic metric is a high computational cost of the algorithms based on it. The main goal of this ...
متن کاملGeodesic metric spaces and generalized nonexpansive multivalued mappings
In this paper, we present some common fixed point theorems for two generalized nonexpansive multivalued mappings in CAT(0) spaces as well as in UCED Banach spaces. Moreover, we prove the existence of fixed points for generalized nonexpansive multivalued mappings in complete geodesic metric spaces with convex metric for which the asymptotic center of a bounded sequence in a bounded closed convex...
متن کاملR-trees and laminations for free groups I: Algebraic laminations
This paper is the first of a sequence of three papers, where the concept of an Rtree dual to (the lift to the universal covering of) a measured geodesic lamination L in a hyperbolic surface S is generalized to arbitrary R-trees provided with a (very small) action of the free group FN of finite rank N ≥ 2 by isometries. In [CHL-II] to any such R-tree T a dual algebraic lamination L(T ) is associ...
متن کاملThe Weil-petersson Hessian of Length on Teichmüller Space
We present a brief but nearly self-contained proof of a formula for the Weil-Petersson Hessian of the geodesic length of a closed curve (either simple or not simple) on a hyperbolic surface. The formula is the sum of the integrals of two naturally defined positive functions over the geodesic, proving convexity of this functional over Teichmuller space (due to Wolpert (1987)). We then estimate t...
