Non-asphericity of strata of genus-one differentials

Flat surfaces that correspond to meromorphic $1$-forms or to meromorphic quadratic differentials containing poles of order two and higher are surfaces of infinite area. We classify groups that appear as Veech groups of translation surfaces with poles. We characterize those surfaces such that their $GL^{+}(2,\mathbb{R})…

Proposes an algorithm for infinite-dimensional sparse learning in system identification.

We describe the space of measured foliations induced on a compact Riemann surface by meromorphic quadratic differentials. We prove that any such foliation is realized by a unique such differential $q$ if we prescribe, in addition, the principal parts of $\sqrt q$ at the poles. This generalizes a theorem of Hubbard and …

Flat surfaces that correspond to $k$-differentials on compact Riemann surfaces are of finite area provided there is no pole of order $k$ or higher. We denote by \textit{flat surfaces with poles of higher order} those surfaces with flat structures defined by a $k$-differential with at least one pole of order at least $k…

Translation surfaces with poles correspond to meromorphic differentials on compact Riemann surfaces. They appear in compactifications of strata of the moduli space of Abelian differentials and in the study of stability conditions. Such structures have different geometrical and dynamical properties than usual translatio…

We use algebraic Backlund transformations (BTs) to construct explicit solutions of the modified 2+1 chiral model from $T^2\times R$ to SU(n), where $T^2$ is a 2-torus. Algebraic BTs are parameterized by $z\in C$ (poles) and holomorphic maps $π$ from $T^2$ to Gr$(k,C^n)$. We apply Bäcklund transformations with carefully…

We introduce a structure of an infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifold on a subspace in the space of pairs of functions analytic inside/outside the unit circle with simple poles at 0/infinity respectively. The dispersionless 2D Toda equations are embedded into a bigger integrable hierarchy associated with this Frobeniu…

Extends knotoid theory to include multiple poles and intervals.

The authors exhibit pairs of infinite-volume, hyperbolic three-manifolds that have the same scattering poles and conformally equivalent boundaries, but which are not isometric. The examples are constructed using Schottky groups and the Sunada construction.

Following the approach of Carlet et al.(2011)\cite{CDM}, we construct a class of infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifolds underlying the Toda lattice hierarchy, which are defined on the space of pairs of meromorphic functions with possibly higher-order poles at the origin and at infinity. We also show a connection betw…

SBI provides more accurate pole positions than chi-squared minimization in model misspecification.

Parallel transport is an important step in many discrete algorithms for statistical computing on manifolds. Numerical methods based on Jacobi fields or geodesics parallelograms are currently used in geometric data processing. In this last class, pole ladder is a simplification of Schild's ladder for the parallel transp…

Study on helix curves and their Möbius energy asymptotics.

The Ward equation, also called the modified 2+1 chiral model, is obtained by a dimension reduction and a gauge fixing from the self-dual Yang-Mills field equation on $R^{2,2}$. It has a Lax pair and is an integrable system. Ward constructed solitons whose extended solutions have distinct simple poles. He also used a li…

In earlier work of NK new closed embedded smooth minimal surfaces in the round three-sphere $\mathbb{S}^3(1)$ were constructed, each resembling two parallel copies of the equatorial two-sphere $\mathbb{S}^2_{eq}$ joined by small catenoidal bridges, with the catenoidal bridges concentrating along two parallel circles, o…

Study of resonances and residue operators for hyperbolic spaces.

In this paper, by studying certain isometries on globally hyperbolic planes, we prove that if $p$ is a timelike pole on a class A Lorentzian 2-torus, then there exists a closed timelike geodesic passing through $p$ with any preassigned free homotopy class in the interior of the stable time cone. We also show a non-rigi…

We count meromorphic differentials with fixed residues and poles of fixed orders.

We consider solutions of Kapustin-Witten equation with Nahm pole boundary on $S^3\times \mathbb{R}^+$. These solutions are usually called Nahm pole solutions. In this paper, we will prove that there exists a constant $C>0$ such that $\|F_A\|_{L^2}\leq C$ for any Nahm pole solution $(A,φ)$.

Integral of scalar curvature equals a volume ratio term on certain 3D manifolds.

We establish a correspondence on a Riemann surface between hyperbolic metrics with isolated singularities and bounded projective functions whose Schwarzian derivatives have at most double poles and whose monodromies lie in ${\rm PSU}(1,\,1)$. As an application, we construct explicitly a new class of hyperbolic metrics …

A meromorphic quadratic differential with poles of order two, on a compact Riemann surface, induces a measured foliation on the surface, with a spiralling structure at any pole that is determined by the complex residue of the differential at the pole. We introduce the space of such measured foliations, and prove that f…

In this note, we classify all solutions to the $\mathrm{SU(n)}$ Kapustin-Witten equations on $S^1\timesΣ\times \mathbb{R}^+$, where $Σ$ is a compact Riemann surface, with Nahm pole singularity at $S^1\timesΣ\times \{0\}$. We provide a similar classification of solutions with generalized Nahm pole singularities along a …

For a 3-manifold $X$ and compact simple Lie group $G$, we study the expansions of polyhomogeneous Nahm pole solutions to the Kapustin-Witten equations over $X\times (0,+\infty)$. Let $y$ be the coordinate of $(0,+\infty)$, we prove that the sub-leading terms of a polyhomogeneous Nahm pole solution is smooth to the boun…

In the present paper, we establish a gluing construction for the Nahm pole solutions to the Kapustin-Witten equations over manifolds with boundaries and cylindrical ends. Given two Nahm pole solutions with some convergence assumptions on the cylindrical ends, we prove that there exists an obstruction class for gluing t…

Study of 5D SYM theory on toric surfaces yields refined Vafa-Witten invariants.

The affine sphere construction gives, on any oriented surface, a one-to-one correspondence between convex $\mathbb{RP}^2$-structures and holomorphic cubic differentials. Generalizing results of Benoist-Hulin, Loftin and Dumas-Wolf, we show that poles of order less than $3$ of cubic differentials correspond to finite vo…

Study symplectic structures in moduli spaces of meromorphic connections.

This paper is devoted to the study of non-existence of certain type of convex functions on a Riemannian manifold with a pole. To this end, we have developed the notion of odd and even function on a Riemannian manifold with a pole and proved the non-existence of non-trivial and non-negative differentiable odd convex fun…

Strata of $k$-differentials on smooth curves parameterize sections of the $k$-th power of the canonical bundle with prescribed orders of zeros and poles. Define the tautological ring of the projectivized strata using the $κ$ and $ψ$ classes of moduli spaces of pointed smooth curves along with the tautological class $η$…

It is shown that, on a compact Kahler manifold with boundary, the singularities of the pluricomplex Green's function with multiple poles can be prescribed to be of the form $\log\sum_{j=1}^n|f_j(z)|^2$ at each pole, where $f_j(z)$ are arbitrary local holomorphic functions with the pole as their only common zero. The pr…

The Nahm pole boundary condition for certain gauge theory equations in four and five dimensions is defined by requiring that a solution should have a specified singularity along the boundary. In the present paper, we show that this boundary condition is elliptic and has regularity properties analogous to more standard …

Maps continuous Riemann surfaces to complex space with specific properties.

We consider those simply connected isothermic surfaces for which their Hopf differential factorizes into a real function and a meromorphic quadratic differential that has a zero or pole at some point, but is nowhere zero and holomorphic otherwise. Upon restriction to a simply connected patch that does not contain the z…

The paper solves the Dirichlet problem at infinity for certain negatively curved 3-manifolds.

We prove the existence of "half-plane differentials" with prescribed local data on any Riemann surface. These are meromorphic quadratic differentials with higher-order poles which have an associated singular flat metric isometric to a collection of euclidean half-planes glued by an interval-exchange map on their bounda…

A meromorphic quadratic differential on a punctured Riemann surface induces horizontal and vertical measured foliations with pole-singularities. In a neighborhood of a pole such a foliation comprises foliated strips and half-planes, and its leaf-space determines a metric graph. We introduce the notion of an asymptotic …

With the developments of the last decade on complete constant mean curvature 1 (CMC 1) surfaces in the hyperbolic 3-space $H^3$, many examples of such surfaces are now known. However, most of the known examples have regular ends. (An end is irregular, resp. regular, if the hyperbolic Gauss map of the surface has an ess…

This paper generalizes monodromy maps for projective structures with poles.

It is conjectured that the coefficients of the Jones polynomial can be computed by counting solutions of the KW equations on a four-dimensional half-space, with certain boundary conditions that depend on a knot. The boundary conditions are defined by a "Nahm pole" away from the knot with a further singularity along the…
