We introduce the notion of “slope” for geodesic laminations. Slope is a positive irrational defined via regular continued fraction. The action of the mapping class group on lamination pulls back to the action of GL(2, Z) on real line. We discuss applications of slopes in complex analysis, low-dimensional topology, geometric group theory and C∗-algebras.

In this work we deal with the so-called path convexities, defined over special collections of paths. For example, the collection of the shortest paths in a graph is associated with the well-known geodesic convexity, while the collection of the induced paths is associated with the monophonic convexity ; and there are many other examples. Besides reviewing the path convexities in the literature, ...

We define the notion of near-geodesic between points a metric space when no geodesic exists, and use this to extend Recio-Mitter’s complexity non-geodesic spaces. This has potential application topological robotics. determine explicit near-geodesics in variety cases.

In this paper, we study geodesic contact CR-lightlike submanifolds and geodesic screen CR-lightlike (SCR) submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for totally geodesic, mixed geodesic, D -geodesic and -geodesic contact CR-lightlike submanifolds and SCR submanifolds are obtained. D

We prove that a closed, geodesically convex subset C of P 2 (R) is closed with respect to weak convergence in P 2 (R). This means that if (μn) ⊂ C is such that μn ⇀ μ in duality with continuous bounded functions and supn ∫ |x|dμn <∞, then μ ∈ C as well.

We derive several results that describe the rate at which a generic geodesic makes excursions into and out of a cusp on a finite area hyperbolic surface and relate them to approximation with respect to the orbit of infinity for an associated Fuchsian group. This provides proofs of some well known theorems from metric diophantine approximation in the context of Fuchsian groups. It also gives new...
