The paper studies mapping class groups of 3-manifolds fibered over surfaces.

Corrects earlier work on surface orbifold pure braid groups.

We define two transforms between non-conformal harmonic maps from a surface into the 3-sphere. With these transforms one can construct, from one such harmonic map, a sequence of harmonic maps. We show that there is a correspondence between non-conformal harmonic maps into the 3-sphere, $H$-surfaces in Euclidean 3-space…

We generalise surface cluster algebras to the case of infinite surfaces where the surface contains finitely many accumulation points of boundary marked points. To connect different triangulations of an infinite surface, we consider infinite mutation sequences. We show transitivity of infinite mutation sequences on tria…

The study examines surfaces in hyperbolic 3-manifolds that become nearly flat.

In this paper we develop the theory of Willmore sequences for Willmore surfaces in the 4-sphere. We show that under appropriate conditions this sequence has to terminate. In this case the Willmore surface either is the twistor projection of a holomorphic curve into complex projective space or the inversion of a minimal…

We will study the blowup behavior of a surface sequence immersed in $R^2$ with bounded Willmore functional and fixed genus.

The study finds counterexamples to curvature estimates for minimizing surfaces.

given two minimal surfaces embedded in $\S3$ of genus $g$ we prove the existence of a sequence of non-congruent compact minimal surfaces embedded in $\S3$ of genus $g$ that converges in $C^{2,α}$ to a compact embedded minimal surface provided some conditions are satisfied. These conditions also imply that, if any of th…

In this article, we extend Huisken's theorem that convex surfaces flow to round points by mean curvature flow. We construct certain classes of mean convex and non-mean convex hypersurfaces that shrink to round points and use these constructions to create pathological examples of flows. We find a sequence of flows that …

Study calculates stable norm of slit tori using Farey sequence.

We show that for each aspherical compact complex surface $X$ whose fundamental group $π$ fits into a short exact sequence $1\to K \to π\to π_1(S) \to 1$ where $S$ is a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface and the group $K$ is finitely-presentable, there is a complex structure on $S$ and a nonsingular holomorphic fibr…

Directly proves logarithmic systolic growth for all hyperbolic surfaces.

We construct sequences of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes whose dilatations behave asymptotically like the inverse of the Euler characteristic of the surface they are defined on. These sequences are used to show that if the genus, g, and punctures, n, of a surface are related by a rational ray g=rn then the minimal dilat…

Homological stability for sequences of groups is often proved by studying the spectral sequence associated to the action of a typical group in the sequence on a highly-connected simplicial complex whose stabilizers are related to previous groups in the sequence. In the case of mapping class groups of manifolds, suitabl…

We consider exact sequences and lower central series of surface braid groups and we explain how they can prove to be useful for obtaining representations for surface braid groups. In particular, using a completely algebraic framework, we describe the notion of extension of a representation introduced and studied recent…

In \cite{CM5}, Colding and Minicozzi describe a type of compactness property possessed by sequences of embedded minimal surfaces in $\Real^3$ with finite genus and with boundaries going to $\infty$. They show that any such sequence either contains a sub-sequence with uniformly bounded curvature or the sub-sequence has …

Develops theory of d-holomorphic connections on Klein surfaces.

We establish an energy quantization result for sequences of Willmore surfaces when the underlying sequence of Riemann surfaces is degenerating in the moduli space. we notably exhibit a new residue which quantifies the potential loss of energy in collar regions. Thanks to these residues, we also prove compactness of Wil…

For each integer $k \geq 2$, we apply gluing methods to construct sequences of minimal surfaces embedded in the round $3$-sphere. We produce two types of sequences, all desingularizing collections of intersecting Clifford tori. Sequences of the first type converge to a collection of $k$ Clifford tori intersecting with …

In this paper we prove some general results on constant mean curvature lamination limits of certain sequences of compact surfaces $M_n$ embedded in $\mathbb R^3$ with constant mean curvature $H_n$ and fixed finite genus, when the boundaries of these surfaces tend to infinity. Two of these theorems generalize to the non…

Polynomial representations found in surface braid and mapping class groups.

Paper proves existence of minimal doublings on surfaces with specific properties.

One of the basic problems in studying topological structures of deformation spaces for Kleinian groups is to find a criterion to distinguish convergent sequences from divergent sequences. In this paper, we shall give a sufficient condition for sequences of Kleinian groups isomorphic to surface groups to diverge in the …

This paper provides an infinite presentation for a subgroup of mapping class groups of non-orientable surfaces.

Pseudo-Anosov subgroups in surface bundles over tori are convex cocompact.

New method finds unique branched surfaces in 3-manifolds.

We submit a new way to detect pairs of non-cobordant surface-links. We find a new example of a pair of non-cobordant surface-links with the following properties: Orr invariant, Cochran sequence, Sato-Levine invariant, the alinking number and one of Stallings's theorems cannot distinguish them. However our new way can d…

The systole of a hyperbolic surface is bounded by a logarithmic function of its genus. This bound is sharp, in that there exist sequences of surfaces with genera tending to infinity that attain logarithmically large systoles. These are constructed by taking congruence covers of arithmetic surfaces. In this article we p…

Characterizes stable minimal capillary surfaces with specific angles.

We study the Calabi functional on a ruled surface over a genus two curve. For polarisations which do not admit an extremal metric we describe the behaviour of a minimising sequence splitting the manifold into pieces. We also show that the Calabi flow starting from a metric with suitable symmetry gives such a minimising…

Study on harmonic maps from surfaces with energy bounds and neck domains.

The paper studies automorphisms of Riemann surfaces and their covers.

Building on work of Kapouleas and Yang, we construct sequences of minimal surfaces embedded in the round 3-sphere which converge to the Clifford torus counted with multiplicity two and have second fundamental form blowing up at every point of the torus and genus tending to infinity. Each surface in a given sequence res…

We characterize sequences of Kleinian surface groups with convergent subsequences in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the ending invariants of the associated hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Asymptotic behavior of end invariants in a convergent sequence predicts the parabolic locus of the algebraic limit as well as how the a…

We construct infinite sequences of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms without fixed points and leaving invariant a sequence of orientable measured foliations on the same topological surface and the same stratum of the space of abelian differentials. The existence of such sequences show that all pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms f…

Two infinite sequences of minimal surfaces in space are constructed using symmetry analysis. In particular, explicit formulas are obtained for the self-intersecting minimal surface that fills the trefoil knot.

The paper connects least area surfaces to quasi-normal surfaces in 3-manifolds.

We present a construction of sequences of closed hyperbolic surfaces that have long systoles which form pants decompositions of these surfaces. The length of the systoles of these surfaces grows logarithmically as a function of their genus.

We study virtual isotopy sequences with classical initial and final diagrams, asking when such a sequence can be changed into a classical isotopy sequence by replacing virtual crossings with classical crossings. An example of a sequence for which no such virtual crossing realization exists is given. A conjecture on con…

Let X be a compact toric surface. There exists a sequence of torus equivariant blow-ups of X such that the blown-up toric surface obtained admits a cscK metric.

The paper studies how to transform a sequence of cmc planes into a minimal surface.

In the present work we study the behavior of sequences of smooth global isothermic immersions of a given closed surface and having a uniformly bounded total curvature. We prove that, if the conformal class of this sequence is bounded in the Moduli space of the surface, it weakly converges in W^{2,2} away from finitely …

We consider the class of all conformal mappings from a compact Riemann surface into the threedimensional or fourdimensional Euclidean space. A sequence in this class with bounded Willmore functional is shown to have a sequence of conformal transformations of the target space, such that a subsequence of the transformed …

The Schwarzian derivative helps classify minimal surfaces by their degree.

An infinite sequence of commuting nonpolynomial contact symmetries of the two-dimensional minimal surface equation is constructed. Local and nonlocal conservation laws for $n$-dimensional minimal area surface equation are obtained by using the Noether identity.
