Publications and preprints


Publications and preprints, as pdfs. If you need another format, email me and I'll try.


  1. Compact Clifford-Klein forms -- Geometry, Topology and Dynamics. (in preparation). To appear in the proceedings of the conference Geometry, Topology and Dynamics in Negative Curvature (Bangalore, 2010), London Math Society Lecture Notes series.
    A survey article on the compact forms question.

  2. (joint w. Jon Chaika) Quantitative shrinking target properties for rotations, interval exchanges and billiards in rational polygons. (preprint).

  3. Compact forms of homogeneous spaces and higher-rank semisimple group actions. (preprint).

  4. 2-Frame flow dynamics and hyperbolic rank-rigidity in nonpositive curvature, Journal of Modern Dynamics 2 (2008), no. 4, 719-740.
    Presents a rank-rigidity result achieved by looking at dynamics of the frame flow.

  5. Consequences of ergodic frame flow for rank rigidity in negative curvature.
    This is an earlier version of the paper above with results for negative curvature only. It's not planned for publication but may be of interest if you only want the negative curvature proof, which is considerably simpler. It's only in dimensions 7 & 8 that it's really necessary to prove anything here (see note after Thm 1 in "2-Frame flow...").

  6. (joint w. Matt Darnall) Lengths of finite dimensional representations of PBW algebras, Linear Algebra and its Applications 395 (2005), 175-181.
    This is from a summer research program at Temple University directed by Ed Letzter.


My thesis, "Hyperbolic rank-rigidity and frame flow." The content of (2.) above, but with more detail and ridiculously careful formatting.
