Hyperbolic geometry
I work in this general area. Our department logo at the top right hand corner
of this page depicts the Poincaré disc model of the hyperbolic plane
together with the fundamental domain for an ideal triangle group and several
of its images. It may be found on the
floor of the
entrance to the department.
The group is generated by reflection across the sides of
the triangle. This group is rigid in the sense that any two such groups are
conjugate via a Möbius transformation. On the other hand if we ask an
analogous question for complex hyperbolic space there is a one parameter
family of inequivalent groups, see the paper (with Bill Goldman) in
J. reine angewandte Math in my
publications list.
At the moment I mostly work on :
Complex hyperbolic geometry
Many of the questions that can be asked for discrete groups of (real)
hyperbolic isometries can be asked for complex hyperbolic isometries.
However the answers can often be surprising and usually involve rather
different methods. This means that complex hyperbolic geometry is a
rather exciting field to work in.
Geometriae Dedicata
Between January 2013 and December 2022
Jean-Marc Schlenker and I were joint Editors-in-Chief of
Geometriae Dedicata. From January 2023
Richard Wentworth has taken over from us as Editor-in-Chief.
We would welcome the the submission of good papers
in the area of geometry and its relationship to topology, group theory
and the theory of dynamical systems. Geometriae Dedicata aims to be a
vehicle for excellent publications in geometry and related areas.
Note: The papers listed here are not all linked to retrievable
files. And those that are are not necessarily the final versions and so they
should be treated as "for information only".
