Geometry, Topology, and Dynamics in Negative Curvature

C. S. Aravinda is an Associate Professor in the TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics, Bangalore. His main research interests are the study of manifolds of non-positive curvature, with special focus on their dynamic, geometric and topological aspects. F. T. Farrell is a Professor in the Mathematics Department and Yau Mathematical Sciences Center at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. His research area is manifold topology. J.-F. Lafont is a Professor in the Mathematics Department at Ohio State University. He studies the geometry, topology, and dynamics of spaces of negative curvature.
