On the distribution of hypersurfaces equidistant from totally geodesic submanifolds in hyperbolic space

Karp, L.; Peyerimhoff, N.

Abstract

Let H be the n-dimensional real hyperbolic space and pi: H -> M be the universal covering map of a compact Riemannian manifold M of constant curvature -1. Let P be a k-dimensional complete totally geodesic submanifold of H and P_r be the corresponding tubular hypersurface at distance r. In this article we prove that pi(P_r) distributes increasingly uniformly in M as r tends to infinity. Using eigenspace decomposition of the Laplacian, this fact can be considered as geometric application of the asymptotics of a particular ordinary differential equation.
