Abstract

We study a logarithmic re-gauging of the visual boundary, arising from the logarithmic metric on the sublinear Morse boundary introduced by Garg-Jana-Qing. For every proper geodesic hyperbolic space $X$, we prove that $d_{\mathrm{log}}(\xi,\eta)\asymp (1+(\xi\mid\eta)_o)^{-\theta}$. As a consequence, under the natural identification of boundaries, $d_{\mathrm{log}}$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to the polynomial Floyd boundary metric associated with the radial density $g_\theta(t)=(1+t)^{-1-\theta}$. Every quasi-isometry between proper geodesic hyperbolic spaces induces a bi-Lipschitz map between their logarithmic boundaries with a fixed admissible exponent. For every non-elementary hyperbolic group, the logarithmic boundary is nondoubling and has infinite Hausdorff and Assouad dimensions. Nevertheless, the logarithmic re-gauging preserves Nagata (capacity) dimension and continues to recover the asymptotic dimension of the group. It also detects one-endedness through linear connectedness (bounded turning) and preserves uniform perfectness. Thus the logarithmic and visual metrics are not quasisymmetrically equivalent, although several coarse-geometric features remain visible in the logarithmic boundary.

Geometric finiteness in paracomplex hyperbolic spaces

We develop a framework for studying discrete subgroups of $\mathsf{PGL}(d+1,\mathbb{R})$ via the paracomplex hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}_\tau^d$, a rank-$1$ pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space. We characterize projective transverse, relatively Anosov, and Anosov subgroups in terms of properly discontinuous, geometricall...

On the Dirichlet-to-Neumann conformal invariant of bounded planar domains

Using an analogue of the Mandelstam-Giddings-Wolpert diagrams, we introduce a new canonical representative of the conformal class of a bounded domain of arbitrary connectivity in $\mathbb{C}$ as a flat conical surface with geodesic boundary (a"truncated light-cone diagram", simply LC-diagram in the sequel). The space o...

Conformal Boundary Deformations under Ricci Lower Bounds: Eigenvalue Counterexamples

Let $(M^{n+1},g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Under the assumptions $\Ric_g\geq ng$ and $\II_g\geq0$, Wang proposed a sharp strengthening of the Choi--Wang--Reilly estimate, asserting that the first nonzero Laplace eigenvalue of the boundary is at least $n$; see [J. Geom. Anal. 31 (2021)]. We dispro...

Newton Support Functions and Metric Completion of Singular Conformal Metrics at Corners

We study singular conformal metrics \(g=Fg_0\) near codimension-two corners, where \(F\) is a finite positive sum of monomial singularities. The competing orders are encoded by the homogeneous Newton support function \(\mathcal H(p,q)=\max_j(pa_j+qb_j)\). We prove the sharp projective accessibility criterion \(\mathcal...

Harmonic Maps from Punctured Riemann Surfaces to the Hyperbolic Plane with Prescribed Scherk Asymptotics

Let $X$ be a genus $g\geq 0$ compact Riemann surface that admits an antiholomorphic involution $\iota$ with non empty fixed-point set, and let $D = \{p_1,\dots,p_k\}\subset \text{Fix}(\iota)$. At each puncture, we prescribe a Scherk map associated to a given real polynomial quadratic differential with even degree and n...

On the Asymptotics of the Volume of Hitchin Moduli Spaces

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g\geq2$, and let $\M$ be the moduli space of rank-two trace-free Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree. For the normalization of the Hitchin metric used in this paper, we prove that the volume of geodesic ball in the Hitchin moduli space is given by $$ \Vol_{g...
