<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Let <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \mathscr{M} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> be a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold. We present a very general theorem on the shrinking target problem for the geodesic flow, using its exponential mixing. This includes a strengthening of Sullivan's logarithm law for the excursion rate of the geodesic flow. More generally, we prove logarithm laws for the first hitting time for shrinking cusp neighborhoods, shrinking tubular neighborhoods of a closed geodesic, and shrinking metric balls, as well as give quantitative estimates for the time a generic geodesic spends in such shrinking targets.</p>

The main purpose of this note is to further clarify the strong relationship between ergodicity and Myrberg type dynamics in hyperbolic manifolds. This is achieved mainly via a new suggestive proof of the fact that the Myrberg limit set of a Kleinian group is of full Patterson measure if the geodesic flow on the associated hyperbolic manifold is ergodic with respect to the Patterson-Sullivan measure.

This paper gives two results that show that the dynamics of a time-periodic Lagrangian system on a hyperbolic manifold are at least as complicated as the geodesic flow of a hyperbolic metric. Given a hyperbolic geodesic in the Poincaré ball, Theorem A asserts that there are minimizers of the lift of the Lagrangian system that are a bounded distance away and have a variety of approximate speeds. Theorem B gives the existence of a collection of compact invariant sets of the Euler–Lagrange flow that are semiconjugate to the geodesic flow of a hyperbolic metric. These results can be viewed as a generalization of the Aubry–Mather theory of twist maps and the Hedlund–Morse–Gromov theory of minimal geodesics on closed surfaces and hyperbolic manifolds.

We provide a new proof of a theorem whose proof was sketched by Sullivan [Disjoint spheres, approximation by imaginary quadratic numbers, and the logarithm law for geodesics. Acta Math.149(3–4) (1982), 215–237], namely that if the Poincaré exponent of a geometrically finite Kleinian group $G$ is strictly between its minimal and maximal cusp ranks, then the Patterson–Sullivan measure of $G$ is not proportional to the Hausdorff or packing measure of any gauge function. This disproves a conjecture of Stratmann [Multiple fractal aspects of conformal measures; a survey. Workshop on Fractals and Dynamics (Mathematica Gottingensis, 5). Eds. M. Denker, S.-M. Heinemann and B. Stratmann. Springer, Berlin, 1997, pp. 65–71; Fractal geometry on hyperbolic manifolds. Non-Euclidean Geometries (Mathematical Applications (N.Y.), 581). Springer, New York, 2006, pp. 227–247].

AbstractSullivan's geometric measure on a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold is shown to satisfy a mean ergodic theorem on horospheres and through this that the geodesic flow is Bernoulli.

This chapter studies the displacement function dᵧ on X that is associated with a semisimple element γ‎ ∈ G. If φ‎″, t ∈ R denotes the geodesic flow on the total space X of the tangent bundle of X, the critical set X(γ‎) ⊂ X of dᵧ can be easily related to the fixed point set Fᵧ ⊂ X of the symplectic transformation γ‎⁻¹φ‎₁ of X. The chapter studies the nondegeneracy of γ‎⁻¹φ‎₁ − 1 along Fᵧ. More fundamentally, this chapter gives important quantitative estimates on how much φ‎ ½ differs from φ‎ ˗½γ‎ away from Fᵧ. These quantitative estimates are based on Toponogov's theorem.

AbstractLet f : Y → X be a continuous map between a compact real analytic Kähler manifold (Y, g) and a compact complex hyperbolic manifold (X, g0). In this paper we give a lower bound of the diastatic entropy of (Y, g) in terms of the diastatic entropy of (X, g0) and the degree of f . When the lower bound is attained we get geometric rigidity theorems for the diastatic entropy analogous to the ones obtained by G. Besson, G. Courtois and S. Gallot [2] for the volume entropy. As a corollary,when X = Y,we get that the minimal diastatic entropy is achieved if and only if g is isometric to the hyperbolic metric g0.

For any closed hyperbolic manifold of dimension $n \geq 3$, suppose a sequence of $n$-cycles representing the fundamental homology class have norms converging to the Gromov invariant. We show that this sequence must converge to the uniform measure on the space of maximal-volume ideal simplices. As a corollary, we show that for a hyperbolic $n$-manifold $L$ ($n \geq 3$) with totally-geodesic boundary, the Gromov norm of ($L,\partial L$) is strictly greater than the volume of $L$ divided by the maximal volume of an ideal $n$-simplex.

Abstract We establish a direct classical-quantum correspondence on convex cocompact hyperbolic manifolds between the spectra of the geodesic flow and the Laplacian acting on natural tensor bundles. This extends previous work detailing the correspondence for cocompact quotients.
