Let [Formula: see text] be a non-uniform lattice in [Formula: see text] without torsion and with [Formula: see text]. By following the approach developed in [S. Francaviglia and B. Klaff, Maximal volume representations are Fuchsian, Geom. Dedicata 117 (2006) 111–124], we introduce the notion of volume for a representation [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text]. We use this notion to generalize the Mostow–Prasad rigidity theorem. More precisely, we show that given a sequence of representations [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text], then there must exist a sequence of elements [Formula: see text] such that the representations [Formula: see text] converge to a reducible representation [Formula: see text] which preserves a totally geodesic copy of [Formula: see text] and whose [Formula: see text]-component is conjugated to the standard lattice embedding [Formula: see text]. Additionally, we show that the same definitions and results can be adapted when [Formula: see text] is a non-uniform lattice in [Formula: see text] without torsion and for representations [Formula: see text], still maintaining the hypothesis [Formula: see text].

The main results of this paper consist of two parts. First, we obtain an almost rigidity theorem which roughly says that on an [Formula: see text] space, when a domain between two level sets of a distance function has almost maximal volume compared to that of a cylinder, then this portion is close to a cylinder as a metric space. Second, we apply this almost rigidity theorem to study noncompact [Formula: see text] spaces with linear volume growth. More precisely, we obtain the sublinear growth of diameter of geodesic spheres, and study the non-existence problem of nonconstant harmonic functions with polynomial growth on such [Formula: see text] spaces.

AbstractWe prove that the horospherical foliations of two compact manifolds of constant negative curvature are measurably isomorphic if and only if the two manifolds are isometric.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the Δ-convergence and strong convergence for the iterative sequence generated by the proposed scheme to approximate a common fixed point of a total asymptotically nonexpansive single-valued mapping and a quasi nonexpansive multi-valued mapping in a complete uniformly convex hyperbolic space. Finally, by giving an example, we illustrate our result.

AbstractWe formulate and prove a profinite rigidity theorem for the twisted Alexander polynomials up to several types of finite ambiguity. We also establish torsion growth formulas of the twisted homology groups in a {{\mathbb{Z}}}-cover of a 3-manifold with use of Mahler measures. We examine several examples associated to Riley’s parabolic representations of two-bridge knot groups and give a remark on hyperbolic volumes.

Abstract Let $\mathcal {W}^{n}$ W n be the set of smooth complete simply connected n-dimensional manifolds without conjugate points. The Euclidean space and the hyperbolic space are examples of these manifolds. Let $W\in \mathcal {W}^{n}$ W ∈ W n and let A and B be two convex subsets of W. This note aims to investigate separation and slab horosphere separation of A and B. For example,sufficient conditions on A and B to be separated by a slab of horospheres are obtained. Existence and uniqueness of foot points and farthest points of a convex set A in $W\in \mathcal {W}$ W ∈ W are considered.
