Discontinuity-growth of interval-exchange maps

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the group of interval exchange maps does not contain distortion elements, giving examples of groups that do not act faithfully via interval exchange map and a classification of centralizers.

Non-ergodic Z-periodic billiards and infinite translation surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a criterion which allows to prove non-ergodicity for certain infinite periodic billiards and directional flows on Z-periodic translation surfaces.

Injections of mapping class groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct monomorphisms between mapping class groups of surfaces, which injects the mapping class group of a closed surface into that of a different closed surface, and have quite curious behaviour.

Hyperbolic Manifolds: An Introduction in 2 and 3 Dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce and explain hyperbolic geometry and 3-manifolds in the first two chapters and then go on to develop the subject in the last two.

Quadratic differentials and foliations

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the space of measured foliations with the quadratic forms on a fixed Riemann surface is homeomorphic to a sphere, and that the existence of projective classes of foliations is also homeomorphic.
