Recently, Benini et al showed that, in simply connected wandering domains of entire functions, all pairs of orbits behave in the same way relative to the hyperbolic metric, thus giving us our first insight into the general internal dynamics of such domains. The author proved in a recent paper [G. R. Ferreira. Multiply connected wandering domains of meromorphic functions: internal dynamics andconnectivity. J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 106 (2022), 1897–1919] that the same is not true for multiply connected wandering domains, a natural question is how inhomogeneous multiply connected wandering domains can be. We give an answer to this question, in that we show that uniform dynamics inside an open subset of the domain generalizes to the whole wandering domain. As an application of this result, we construct the first example of a meromorphic function with a semi-contracting infinitely connected wandering domain.

We consider the Weil–Petersson gradient vector field of renormalized volume on the deformation space of convex cocompact hyperbolic structures on (relatively) acylindrical manifolds. In this paper we prove the conjecture that the flow has a global attracting fixed point at the unique structure $M_{\rm geod}$ with minimum convex core volume.

We study a class of two-variable polynomials called exact polynomials which contains $A$-polynomials of knot complements. The Mahler measure of these polynomials can be computed in terms of a volume function defined on the vanishing set of the polynomial. We prove that the local extrema of the volume function are on the two-dimensional torus and give a closed formula for the Mahler measure in terms of these extremal values. This formula shows that the Mahler measure of an irreducible and exact polynomial divided by $\pi$ is greater than the amplitude of the volume function. We also prove a K-theoretic criterion for a polynomial to be a factor of an $A$-polynomial and give a topological interpretation of its Mahler measure.

At each point of a Poisson point process of intensity λ in the hyperbolic plane, center a ball of bounded random radius. Consider the probability Pr that, from a fixed point, there is some direction in which one can reach distance r without hitting any ball. It is known (see Benjamini, Jonasson, Schramm and Tykesson (2009)) that if λ is strictly smaller than a critical intensity λgv thenPr does not go to 0 as r → ∞. The main result in this note shows that in the case λ=λgv, the probability of reaching a distance larger than r decays essentially polynomially, while if λ>λgv, the decay is exponential. We also extend these results to various related models and we finally obtain asymptotic results in several situations.

We establish two-sided bounds for the complexity of two infinite series of closed orientable three-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds, the Löbell manifolds and the Fibonacci manifolds. The manifolds of the two series are indexed by an integer n and the corresponding complexity estimates are both linear in n.
