Marden and Strebel established the Heights Theorem for integrable holomorphic quadratic differentials on parabolic Riemann surfaces. We extends the validity of the Heights Theorem to all surfaces whose fundamental group is of the first kind. In fact, we establish a more general result: the {\it horizontal} map which as…

The article approximates solutions to the Beltrami equation using similarity surfaces.

The traditional Riemann Mapping Theorem can be proved with circle packing techniques. We prove the Combinatorial Riemann Mapping Theorem for tilings of bounded size using circle packings.

The subject of this paper is Beurling's celebrated extension of the Riemann mapping theorem \cite{Beu53}. Our point of departure is the observation that the only known proof of the Beurling-Riemann mapping theorem contains a number of gaps which seem inherent in Beurling's geometric and approximative approach. We provi…

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 …

We prove a compactness theorem for embedded measured hyperbolic Riemann surface laminations in a compact almost complex manifold $(X, J)$. To prove compactness result, we show that there is a suitable topology on the space of measured Riemann surface laminations induced by Levy-Prokhorov metric. As an application of th…

We extend the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem to transversal families of mappings. As an application we show that on a certain class of Riemann surfaces with constant negative curvature and with boundary, there exist natural 2-dimensional measures invariant under the geodesic flow having 2-dimensional supports s…

The paper proves a factorization theorem for harmonic maps between Riemann surfaces and manifolds.

We provide a simpler proof and slight strengthening of Morrey's famous lemma on $\varepsilon$-conformal mappings. Our result more generally applies to Sobolev maps with values in a complete metric space and we obtain applications to the existence of area minimizing surfaces of higher genus in metric spaces. Unlike Morr…

Paper proves circle packings converge to Riemann mapping for Jordan domains.

The paper proves convergence of discrete maps to Riemann mappings for polyhedral surfaces.

In this paper, by using the Kuranishi coordinates on the Teichmüller space and the explicit deformation formula of holomorphic one-forms on Riemann surface, we give an explicit expression of the period map and derive new differential geometric proofs of the Torelli theorems, both local and global, for Riemann surfaces.

In this article, we introduce an analogous problem to Yamabe type problem considered by Case, J., which generalizes the Escobar-Riemann mapping problem for smooth metric measure spaces with boundary. The last problem will be called Escobar-Riemann mapping type problem. For this purpose, we consider the generalization o…

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…

The paper broadens a mathematical correspondence to include more balanced metrics.

The paper classifies holomorphic maps between Riemann surface configuration spaces.

In this paper we study the smooth moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. This smooth moduli is an infinite cover of the usual moduli space $\mathscr{M}_g$ of closed Riemann surfaces, and is identified with the Schottky space of rank $g.$ The main theorem of the paper is: Closed Riemann surfaces are uniformizable by S…

We prove a generalization of Kawai theorem for the case of orbifold Riemann surface. The computation is based on a formula for the differential of a holomorphic map from the cotangent bundle of the Teichmüller space to the $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety, which allows to evaluate explicitly the pullback …

Derdzinski and Shen's theorem on the restrictions posed by a Codazzi tensor on the Riemann tensor holds more generally when a Riemann-compatible tensor exists. Several properties are shown to remain valid in this broader setting. Riemann compatibility is equivalent to the Bianchi identity of the new "Codazzi deviation …

Scattering theory for harmonic one-forms on Riemann surfaces.

We give a sufficient condition for a metric (homology) manifold to be locally bi-Lipschitz equivalent to an open subset in $\rn$. The condition is a Sobolev condition for a measurable coframe of flat 1-forms. In combination with an earlier work of D. Sullivan, our methods also yield an analytic characterization for smo…

We show the smoothness of weakly Dirac-harmonic maps from a closed spin Riemann surface into stationary Lorentzian manifolds, and obtain a regularity theorem for a class of critical elliptic systems without anti-symmetry structures.

Recent results on ergodic theory for Riemann surface laminations and foliations.

Thurston's circle packing approximation of the Riemann Mapping (proven to give the Riemann Mapping in the limit by Rodin-Sullivan) is largely based on the theorem that any topological disk with a circle packing metric can be deformed into a circle packing metric in the disk with boundary circles internally tangent to t…

Our aim in this paper is to provide a theory of discrete Riemann surfaces based on quadrilateral cellular decompositions of Riemann surfaces together with their complex structure encoded by complex weights. Previous work, in particular of Mercat, mainly focused on real weights corresponding to quadrilateral cells havin…

In this paper we prove that every Riemannian metric on a locally conformally flat manifold with umbilic boundary can be conformally deformed to a scalar flat metric having constant mean curvature. This result can be seen as a generalization to higher dimensions of the well known Riemann mapping Theorem in the plane.

We investigate i.i.d. random complex dynamical systems generated by probability measures on finite unions of the loci of holomorphic families of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that under certain conditions on the families, for a generic system, (especially, for a generic random polynomial dynamical system…

In this paper we study the topology of the space of Riemann surfaces in a simply connected space X, S_{g,n} (X, γ). This is the space consisting of triples, (F_{g,n}, φ, f), where F_{g,n} is a Riemann surface of genus g and n-boundary components, φis a parameterization of the boundary, and f : F_{g,n} \to X is a contin…

The paper derives Liouville theorems for various generalized maps on Riemannian manifolds.

To a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface, we associate a finitely summable spectral triple whose underlying topological space is the limit set of a corresponding Schottky group, and whose ``Riemannian'' aspect (Hilbert space and Dirac operator) encode the boundary action through its Patterson-Sullivan measure. We prove …

Quadratic differentials on Riemann surfaces uniquely determine foliations.

On a fixed smooth compact Riemann surface with boundary $(M_0,g)$, we show that for the Schrödinger operator $Δ+V$ with potential $V\in C^{1,α}(M_0)$ for some $α>0$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map $N|_Γ$ measured on an open set $Γ\subset \partial M_0$ determines uniquely the potential $V$. We also discuss briefly the cor…

The paper proves a Liouville theorem for specific harmonic maps with free boundary.

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 …

New measure defined on surface strata, invariant under scaling.

We compare two relationships between quadratic differentials and measured geodesic laminations on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces (by foliations or complex projective structures). Each yields a homeomorphism $\ML(S) \to Q(X)$ for any conformal structure $X$ on a compact surface $S$. The main result is that these maps are n…

This is a mathematical commentary on Teichm{ü}ller's paper ``Bestimmung der extremalen quasikonformen Abbildungen bei geschlossenen orientierten Riemannschen Fl{ä}chen'' (Determination of extremal quasiconformal maps of closed oriented Riemann surfaces). This paper is among the last (and may be the last one) that Teich…

This paper shows similarities in deformation spaces of Kleinian groups and anti-holomorphic maps.

Explains historical connections between vector bundle splitting and Riemann-Hilbert problems.

In this paper, we construct polynomial growth harmonic maps from once-punctured Riemann surfaces of any finite genus to any even-sided, regular, ideal polygon in the hyperbolic plane. We also establish their uniqueness within a class of maps which differ by exponentially decaying variations. Previously, harmonic maps f…
