My main research interests lie in differential/Riemannian geometry, ergodic theory for Lie groups and their discrete subgroups, and foliation theory. For a copy of my recent preprints in pdf format, go to the list of publications . For more info see my CV.
Here are some of my expository works. For a comprehensive survey of ergodic theory for general Lie groups and their discrete subgroups, see chapter 9 of Handbook of Dynamical Systems, volume 1A (Eds.: B. Hasselblatt, A. Katok. Elsevier, 2002), written by A. Katok and myself. See also this volume edited by P. Foulon. The differentiable dynamics of semisimple Lie groups and lattices is the subject of Dynamical Systems and Semisimple Groups (Cambridge University Press, 1998). A more gentle introduction to the main result of this book is contained in my contribution to the proceedings volume (Eds.: M. Burger, A. Iozzi. Springer, 2002) of a program on Ergodic Theory, Geometric Rigidity and Number Theory, that took place at the Newton Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, in Cambridge, UK, 2000.
Two topics of current interest for me are random billiards and the Liouville problem on foliated spaces. Here are two short sets of notes for talks I gave on the subject: Liouville , random billiards.
Note to authors: I am serving on the editorial board of the journal "Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series A." If you have a manuscript ready for submission, consider sending it to the DCDS.
