New stretch maps minimize distortion in geometric group theory.

New mappings on closed manifolds can't be broken down easily.

In this work, we are concerned with the spherical quasiconformal parameterization of genus-0 closed surfaces. Given a genus-0 closed triangulated surface and an arbitrary user-defined quasiconformal distortion, we propose a fast algorithm for computing a spherical parameterization of the surface that satisfies the pres…

In this paper, we are interested in the construction of quasiconformal mappings between domains of the Heisenberg group H that minimise a mean distortion functional. We propose to construct such mappings by considering a corresponding problem between domains of Poincaré half-plane $\mathbb H$. The first map we construc…

In this paper, we define a new metric structure on the shape space of a high genus surface. We introduce a rigorous definition of a shape of a surface and construct a metric based on two energies measuring the area distortion and the angle distortion of a quasiconformal homeomorphism. We show that the energy minimizer …

Method flattens complex surfaces with consistent density and shape.

Optimizes maps with controlled distortion for geometric tasks.

Tissot's indicatrix theory is foundational for quasiconformal mappings.

We consider the quasiconformal dilatation of projective transformations of the real projective plane. For non-affine transformations, the contour lines of dilatation form a hyperbolic pencil of circles, and these are the only circles that are mapped to circles. We apply this result to analyze the dilatation of the circ…

It is well-known that quasi-isometries between R-trees induce power quasi-symmetric homeomorphisms between their ultrametric end spaces. This paper investigates power quasi-symmetric homeomorphisms between bounded, complete, uniformly perfect, ultrametric spaces (i.e., those ultrametric spaces arising up to similarity …

By the Riemann-mapping theorem, one can bijectively map the interior of an $n$-gon $P$ to that of another $n$-gon $Q$ conformally. However, (the boundary extension of) this mapping need not necessarily map the vertices of $P$ to those $Q$. In this case, one wants to find the ``best" mapping between these polygons, i.e.…

Solves an old problem by showing round spheres are the only compact surfaces with specific curvature properties.

Study on curvature conditions for non-conformally flat spheres using quasiconformal maps and Ricci flow.

Algorithm finds optimal affine transformation to minimize overall distortion.

In a very influential paper Gehring and Palka introduced the notions of quasiconformally homogeneous and uniformly quasiconformally homogeneous subsets of Euclidean space. Their motivation was to provide a characterization of quasi-disks, i.e. domains which are quasiconformally homeomorphic to the unit disk. As a gener…

Study shows Julia sets and gasket limit sets are quasiconformally different.

We show that all the common definitions of quasiregular mappings $f\colon M\to N$ between two equiregular subRiemannian manifolds of homogeneous dimension $Q\geq 2$ are quantitatively equivalent with precise dependences of the quasiregularity constants. As an immediate consequence, we obtain that if $f$ is $1$-quasireg…

The study proves planes are the only complete uniformly elliptic Weingarten multigraphs.

A closed hyperbolic Riemann surface M is said to be K-quasiconformally homogeneous if there exists a transitive family F of K-quasiconformal homeomorphisms. Further, if all [f] in F act trivially on H1(M;Z), we say M is Torelli-K-quasiconformally homogeneous. We prove the existence of a uniform lower bound on K for Tor…

The moduli space of lattices of $\mathbb{C}$ is a Riemann surface of finite hyperbolic area with the square lattice as an origin. We select a lattice from the induced uniform distribution and calculate the statistics of the Teichmüller distance to the origin. This in turn identifies distribution of the distance in Teic…

A study of smooth contact quasiconformal mappings of the hyperbolic Heisenberg group is presented in this paper. Our main result is a Lifting Theorem; according to this, a symplectic quasiconformal mapping of the hyperbolic plane can be lifted to a circles preserving quasiconformal mapping of the hyperbolic Heisenberg …

We consider quasiconformal deformations of $\mathbb{C}\setminus\mathbb{Z}$. We give some criteria for infinitely often punctured planes to be quasiconformally equivalent to $\mathbb{C}\setminus\mathbb{Z}$. In particular, we characterize the closed subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ whose compliments are quasiconformally equivalen…

Study on curvature bounds for specific hypersurfaces in Anti-de Sitter space.

Characterizes quasiconformally homogeneous ladder surfaces.

This study extends a result on quasi-isometry of hyperbolic groups to relatively hyperbolic groups.

We provide new conditions that ensure that two metric measure spaces are not quasiconformally equivalent. As an application we deduce that there exists no quasiconformal map between the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg and roto-translation groups.

Characterizes quasiconformal homeomorphisms on surfaces.

DP-means clustering was obtained as an extension of $K$-means clustering. While it is implemented with a simple and efficient algorithm, it can estimate the number of clusters simultaneously. However, DP-means is specifically designed for the average distortion measure. Therefore, it is vulnerable to outliers in data, …

For the result on 1-quasiconformal maps, see the paper by Cowling and Ottazzi. The result on quasiconformal maps on Carnot groups with reducible first layer will appear in a forthcoming paper by Enrico Le Donne and Xiangdong Xie.

Sharp bounds for distortion risk metrics under uncertain distributions.

A Riemann surface $M$ is said to be $K$-quasiconformally homogeneous if for every two points $p,q \in M$, there exists a $K$-quasiconformal homeomorphism $f \colon M \rightarrow M$ such that $f(p) = q$. In this paper, we show there exists a universal constant $K_0 > 1$ such that if $M$ is a $K$-quasiconformally homogen…

In the vein of Bonfert-Taylor, Bridgeman, Canary, and Taylor we introduce the notion of quasiconformal homogeneity for closed oriented hyperbolic surfaces restricted to subgroups of the mapping class group. We find uniform lower bounds for the associated quasiconformal homogeneity constants across all closed hyperbolic…

Generalizes Frobenius theorem to quasiconformal deformations.

This is a commentary on Teichm{ü}ller's paper Ein Verschiebungssatz der quasikonformen Abbildung (A displacement theorem of quasiconformal mapping), published in 1944. We explain in detail how Teichm{ü}ller solves the problem of finding the quasiconformal mapping from the unit disc to itself, sending 0 to a strictly ne…

The affine-additive group is hyperbolic with a non-vanishing 4-capacity.

Harmonic extension of Weil-Petersson circle homeomorphisms

We discuss equivalent axiomatic characterizations of distortion risk measures, and give a novel and concise proof of the characterization of elicitable distortion risk measures. Elicitability has recently been discussed as a desirable criterion for risk measures, motivated by statistical considerations of forecasting. …

In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a smooth surface in Rn+1 to admit a local 1-quasiconformal parameterization by a domain in Rn (n >= 3). We then apply these conditions to specific hypersurfaces such as cylinders, paraboloids, and ellipsoids. As a consequence, we show that the classical Li…

We introduce the notion of a conformal de Rham complex of a Riemannian manifold. This is a graded differential Banach algebra and it is invariant under quasiconformal maps, in particular the associated cohomology is a new quasiconformal invariant.

We show that the tangent cone at the identity is not a complete quasiconformal invariant for sub-Riemannian nilpotent groups. Namely, we show that there exists a nilpotent Lie group equipped with left invariant sub-Riemannian metric that is not locally quasiconformally equivalent to its tangent cone at the identity. In…

We study the statistical meaning of the minimization of distortion measure and the relation between the equilibrium points of the SOM algorithm and the minima of distortion measure. If we assume that the observations and the map lie in an compact Euclidean space, we prove the strong consistency of the map which almost …

In this paper we construct quasiconformal embeddings from Y-pieces that contain a short boundary geodesic into degenerate ones. These results are used in a companion paper to study the Jacobian tori of Riemann surfaces that contain small simple closed geodesics.

We characterize the rigidity of Carnot groups in the class of $C^2$ contact maps in terms of complex characteristics. Furthermore, we obtain a Liouville type theorem for Carnot groups which states that 1-quasiconformal maps form finite dimensional Lie groups.

Countable modular groups found on surfaces with infinite type.

A closed discrete subset $A\subset \mathbb{C}$ is called tame if $\mathbb{C}\setminus A$ is quasiconformally equivalent to $\mathbb{C}\setminus \mathbb{Z}$. By giving several criteria for $A$ to be tame, we shall show that $\mathbb{Z}+i\mathbb{Z}$ is not tame.
