Classifies Teichmüller curves in specific hyperelliptic components of meromorphic differentials.

The study characterizes a complex curve of residueless meromorphic differentials on elliptic curves.

Modular curves $X_{1}(N)$ parametrize elliptic curves with a point of order $N$. They can be identified with connected components of projectivized strata $\mathbb{P}\mathcal{H}(a,-a)$ of meromorphic differentials. As strata of meromorphic differentials, they have a canonical walls-and-chambers structure defined by the …

Classifies meromorphic affine connections on complex surfaces.

We consider the Whitham equations for deformations of hyperelliptic spectral curves, which preserve all periods of a meromorphic differential. If the meromorphic differential has a root at a fixed point of the hyperelliptic involution, then the Whitham flow has a singularity. We prove that the stable and unstable manif…

Summary of main work 1999-2012

New surfaces found in 5D space.

We present the Nahm transform of the doubly-periodic instantons introduced in math.DG/9909069, converting them into certain meromorphic solutions of Hitchin's equations over an elliptic curve.

We use contact geometry to describe the monoid of projectively equivariant meromorphic differential operators on a complex curve, quantization of which generalizes known constructions of classical equivariants to non-commutative function algebras in several variables.

Maps continuous Riemann surfaces to complex space with specific properties.

Connected boundaries of strata of differentials are always connected in various compactifications.

The Poincaré series for surfaces with boundary extends to the complex plane.

On a complex curve, we establish a correspondence between integrable connections with irregular singularities, and Higgs bundles such that the Higgs field is meromorphic with poles of any order. The moduli spaces of these objects are obtained by fixing at each singularity the polar part of the connection. We prove that…

In this paper we study relations between intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves and Hurwitz numbers. First, we prove two formulas expressing Hurwitz numbers of (generalized) polynomials via intersections on moduli spaces of curves. Then we show, how intersection numbers can be expressed via Hurwitz numbers. An…

We study the envelopes of meromorphy of neighborhoods of symplectically immersed two-spheres in complex Kähler surfaces using the Gromov's theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. The construction of a complete family of holomorphic deformations of a non-compact complex curve in a complex manifold, parametrized by a finite …

Study of meromorphic connections and their spectral duals in $\mathfrak{gl}_3(\mathbb{C})$.

For null curves in PSL(2,C), there exists a representation formula in terms of two meromorphic functions and their derivatives (Small's formula). In this paper, we give an elementary proof of Small's formula. Moreover, a similar formula for Legendrian curves in PSL(2,C) is given. As null curves in PSL(2,C) are related …

We extend topological recursion to twisted Higgs bundles with singularities.

This are the notes of a course, given by the first author for the Graduiertenkollegs (=graduate students) at the Ruhr-University Bochum, in December 1997. These lectures pursued two main tasks: FIRST - to give a systematic and self-contained introduction to the Gromov theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. This is done in…

Let $M$ be an open Riemann surface. We prove that every meromorphic function on $M$ is the complex Gauss map of a conformal minimal immersion $M\to\mathbb{R}^3$ which may furthermore be chosen as the real part of a holomorphic null curve $M\to\mathbb{C}^3$. Analogous results are proved for conformal minimal immersions …

The Brylinski beta function is extended for coaxial layers on submanifolds.

In the complex setting, let $F(x,y,y')=0$ be an analytic or algebraic differential equation with $y'$-degree $d$. We deal with the qualitative study of such equations through the geometry of the planar $d$-web generated by the generic family of integral curves. Infinitesimal symmetries of these configurations are discu…

We study special circle bundles over two elementary moduli spaces of meromorphic quadratic differentials with real periods denoted by $\mathcal Q_0^{\mathbb R}(-7)$ and $\mathcal Q^{\mathbb R}_0([-3]^2)$. The space $\mathcal Q_0^{\mathbb R}(-7)$ is the moduli space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on the Riemann …

Study describes how to realize periods of meromorphic differentials with specific properties.

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed oriented negatively curved surface. A unitary connection on a Hermitian vector bundle over $M$ is said to be transparent if its parallel transport along the closed geodesics of $g$ is the identity. We study the space of such connections modulo gauge and we prove a classification result in terms …

A conformal immersion of a 2-torus into the 4-sphere is characterized by an auxiliary Riemann surface, its spectral curve. This complex curve encodes the monodromies of a certain Dirac type operator on a quaternionic line bundle associated to the immersion. The paper provides a detailed description of the geometry and …

Consider degenerations of Abelian differentials with prescribed number and multiplicity of zeros and poles. Motivated by the theory of limit linear series, we define twisted canonical divisors on pointed nodal curves to study degenerate differentials, give dimension bounds for their moduli spaces, and establish smootha…

This work is based on the approach developed by J.~Dorfmeister, F.~Pedit and H.~Wu [GANG and KITCS preprint, Report KITCS94-4-1] to construct maps $Φ:D\rightarrow R^3$, $D$ being the unit disk in $C$, whose images are surfaces of constant mean curvature. They start from certain meromorphic one forms, so called meromorp…

For smooth families of projective algebraic curves, we extend the notion of intersection pairing of metrized line bundles to a pairing on line bundles with flat relative connections. In this setting, we prove the existence of a canonical and functorial "intersection" connection on the Deligne pairing. A relationship is…

A new projective structure on Riemann surfaces differs from the uniformization theorem's structure.

We calculate the Euler characteristics of all of the Teichmuller curves in the moduli space of genus two Riemann surfaces which are generated by holomorphic one-forms with a single double zero. These curves can all be embedded in Hilbert modular surfaces and our main result is that the Euler characteristic of a Teichmu…
