Unlike the case of surfaces of topologically finite type, there are several different Teichmüller spaces that are associated to a surface of topological infinite type. These Teichmüller spaces first depend (set-theoretically) on whether we work in the hyperbolic category or in the conformal category. They also depend, …

We show that every countable subgroup $G<\rm GL_+(2,\mathbb{R})$ without contracting elements is the Veech group of a tame translation surface $S$ of infinite genus, for infinitely many different topological types of $S$. Moreover, we prove that as long as every end has genus, there are no restrictions on the topologic…

Study calculates integral cohomology of non-orientable infinite type surfaces.

We show that the length spectrum metric on Teichmüller spaces of surfaces of infinite topological type is complete. We also give related results and examples that compare the length spectrum Teichmüller space with quasiconformal and the Fenchel-Nielsen Teichmüller spaces on such surfaces

Study on minimal torsion topological generators for mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces.

Alexander method extended to infinite-type surfaces.

We study when the mapping class group of an infinite-type surface $S$ admits an action with unbounded orbits on a connected graph whose vertices are simple closed curves on $S$. We introduce a topological invariant for infinite-type surfaces that determines in many cases whether there is such an action. This allows us …

New gravitational solitons and infinite topological manifolds found.

We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense. We show that the graphs we construct are generally connected, infinite diameter a…

Extends Nielsen realization to infinite-type surfaces, classifying torsion elements and topological groups.

In this paper, we construct a complete n-dim Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature, quadratically nonnegatively curved infinity and infinite topological type. This gives a negative answer to a conjecture by Jiping Sha and Zhongmin Shen in the case of n greater than or equal to 6.

This paper tackles the topology of infinite-dimensional fiber spaces.

We present a construction of complete self-dual Einstein metrics of negative scalar curvature on an uncountable family of manifolds of infinite topological type, which are enumerated by continued fraction expansions of irrational numbers. These manifolds may be regarded as limits of the resolutions of cyclic quotient s…

Let $S$ be an orientable, connected surface with infinitely-generated fundamental group. The main theorem states that if the genus of $S$ is finite and at least 4, then the isomorphism type of the pure mapping class group associated to $S$, denoted $\mathrm{PMap}(S)$, detects the homeomorphism type of $S$. As a corolla…

Constructs manifolds with infinite Betti numbers and close to quadratic volume growth.

Proves left-orderability of mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces.

We summarize the main results of our investigation of B-type topological Landau-Ginzburg models whose target is an arbitrary open Riemann surface. Such a Riemann surface need not be affine algebraic and in particular it may have infinite genus or an infinite number of Freudenthal ends. Under mild conditions on the Land…

Study of infinite type surfaces' mapping class groups via hyperbolic structures.

For any surface $Σ$ of infinite topological type, we study the Torelli subgroup ${\mathcal I}(Σ)$ of the mapping class group ${\rm MCG}(Σ)$, whose elements are those mapping classes that act trivially on the homology of $Σ$. Our first result asserts that ${\mathcal I}(Σ)$ is topologically generated by the subgroup of $…

Study shows density of mapping classes on infinite-type surfaces using quasi-conformal maps.

We analyze the signature type of a cascade of periodic orbits associated to period doubling renormalizable maps of the two dimensional disk. The signature is a sequence of rational numbers which describes how periodic orbits turn each other and is invariant by topological conjugacies that preserve orientation. We prove…

In this paper we construct explicit smooth solutions to the Strominger system on generalized Calabi-Gray manifolds, which are compact non-Kähler Calabi-Yau 3-folds with infinitely many distinct topological types and sets of Hodge numbers.

Consider a connected orientable surface $S$ of infinite topological type, i.e. with infinitely-generated fundamental group. We describe the large-scale geometry of arbitrary connected subgraphs of the arc complex $A(S)$ and curve complex $C(S)$ of $S$, provided they are invariant under a sufficiently big subgroup of th…

Study of endperiodic maps on infinite graphs, proving homotopy and eigenvalue properties.

We classify topologically trivial Legendrian $Θ$-graphs and identify the complete family of nondestabilizeable Legendrian realizations in this topological class. In contrast to all known results for Legendrian knots, this is an infinite family of graphs. We also show that any planar graph that contains a subdivision of…

New findings show infinitely many non-homeomorphic manifolds with same proper homotopy type.

We study arc graphs and curve graphs for surfaces of infinite topological type. First, we define an arc graph relative to a finite number of (isolated) punctures and prove that it is a connected, uniformly hyperbolic graph of infinite diameter; this extends a recent result of J. Bavard to a large class of punctured sur…

Study infinite genus surfaces and Schottky groups for uniformization.

We study the volume growth of hyperkaehler manifolds of type $A_{\infty}$ constructed by Anderson-Kronheimer-LeBrun and Goto. These are noncompact complete 4-dimensional hyperkaehler manifolds of infinite topological type. These manifolds have the same topology but the hyperkaehler metrics are depends on the choice of …

Genus $g$ Torelli space is the moduli space of genus $g$ curves of compact type equipped with a homology framing. The hyperelliptic locus is a closed analytic subvariety consisting of finitely many mutually isomorphic components. We use properties of the hyperelliptic Torelli group to show that when $g\geq 3$ these com…

We construct infinitely many complete, immersed self-shrinkers with rotational symmetry for each of the following topological types: the sphere, the plane, the cylinder, and the torus.

It is known that all but finitely many leaves of a measured foliated 2-complex of thin type are quasi-isometric to an infinite tree with at most two topological ends. We show that if the foliation is cooriented, and the associated R-tree is self-similar, then a typical leaf has exactly one topological end. We also cons…
