The paper finds the Finsler structure of Apollonian weak metric on unit disc.

The Funk-Finsler structure is constructed in hyperbolic models, including the Klein unit disc.

Study on the topology of ordered disc configurations, revealing nontrivial homotopy classes.

We show that the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ $(n>1)$ admits a nonsingular holomorphic foliation by complete properly embedded holomorphic discs.

In this note we prove that any monohedral tiling of the closed circular unit disc with $k \leq 3$ topological discs as tiles has a $k$-fold rotational symmetry. This result yields the first nontrivial estimate about the minimum number of tiles in a monohedral tiling of the circular disc in which not all tiles contain t…

Constructs minimal surfaces near the boundary of a ball.

In the Euclidean unit three-ball, we construct compact, embedded, two-sided free boundary minimal surfaces with connected boundary and prescribed high genus, by a gluing construction tripling the equatorial disc. Aside from the equatorial disc itself, these are the first examples in the three-ball of compact free bound…

Sharp estimate on harmonic maps at conformal points in balls.

The paper extends the uniqueness of complete harmonic metrics to subharmonic weights and proves their existence on the unit disc.

We prove that if the unit codisc bundle of a closed Riemannian manifold embeds symplectically into a symplectic cylinder of radius one then the length of the shortest nontrivial closed geodesic is at most half the area of the unit disc.

We show that the graph of a holomorphic motion of the unit disc cannot be biholomorphic to a strongly pseudoconvex domain in C n .

Defines a distance function on a manifold using symplectic embeddings and recovers the metric.

In this article, we study a free boundary isometric embedding problem for abstract Riemannian two-manifolds with the topology of the disc. Under the assumption of positive Gauss curvature and geodesic curvature of the boundary being equal to one, we show that any such disc may be isometrically embedded into the Euclide…

Study of rotation angles in a rotating disc model.

In this paper, we show that the nonexistence of rotationally symmetric harmonic diffeomorphism between the unit disk without the origin and a punctured disc with hyperbolic metric on the target.

In this paper we construct a properly embedded holomorphic disc in the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^2$ of $\mathbb{C}^2$ having a surprising combination of properties: on the one hand, it has finite area and hence is the zero set of a bounded holomorphic function on $\mathbb{B}^2$; on the other hand, its boundary curve is eve…

The paper proves a Penrose inequality for 4-discs with hyperbolic ends and conic singularities.

Let $(φ_t)$ be a holomorphic semigroup of the unit disc (i.e., the flow of a semicomplete holomorphic vector field) without fixed points in the unit disc and let $Ω$ be the starlike at infinity domain image of the Koenigs function of $(φ_t)$. In this paper we completely characterize the type of convergence of the orbit…

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…

Let $D^2$ be the open unit disc in the Euclidean plane and let $G:= Diff(D2; area)$ be the group of smooth compactly supported area-preserving diffeomorphisms of $D^2$. We investigate the properties of G endowed with the autonomous metric. In particular, we construct a bi-Lipschitz homomorphism $Z^k \rightarrow G$ of a…

Ancient curve shortening flow in a disc with mixed boundary conditions is solved.

We establish an $h$-principle for exact Lagrangian embeddings with concave Legendrian boundary. We prove, in particular, that in the complement of the unit ball $B$ in the standard symplectic $\R^{2n}, 2n\geq 6$, there exists an embedded Lagrangian $n$-disc transversely attached to $B$ along its Legendrian boundary.

We construct and analyze minimal disc stackings with bounds on their Morse index.

Hikami observed a discontinuity in a WRT invariant at roots of unity.

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 …

We derive a selection of energy estimates for a generalisation of a critical equation on the unit disc in $\mathbb{R}^2$ introduced by Rivière. Applications include sharp regularity results and compactness theorems which generalise a large amount of previous geometric PDE theory, including some of the theory of harmoni…

Given a closed complex hypersurface $Z\subset \mathbb{C}^{N+1}$ $(N\in\mathbb{N})$ and a compact subset $K\subset Z$, we prove the existence of a pseudoconvex Runge domain $D$ in $Z$ such that $K\subset D$ and there is a complete proper holomorphic embedding from $D$ into the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^{N+1}$. For $N=1$,…

The paper studies the asymptotic behavior of HCMA equations on ALE Kahler manifolds.

In the first part of the paper we describe the complex geometry of the universal Teichmüller space $\mathcal T$, which may be realized as an open subset in the complex Banach space of holomorphic quadratic differentials in the unit disc. The quotient $\mathcal S$ of the diffeomorphism group of the circle modulo Möbius …

In this note, we reveal that our solution of Demailly's strong openness conjecture implies a matrix version of the conjecture; our solutions of two conjectures of Demailly-Kollár and Jonsson-Mustată implies the truth of twisted versions of the strong openness conjecture; our optimal $L^{2}$ extension implies Berndtsson…

A homogeneous Gibbons-Hawking ansatz is described, leading to 4-dimensional hyperkahler metrics with homotheties. In combination with Blaschke products on the unit disc in the complex plane, this ansatz allows one to construct infinite-dimensional families of such hyperkahler metrics that are, in a suitable sense, comp…

It is known that the surface of a cone over the unit disc with large height has smaller distortion than the standard embedding of the 2-sphere in $\mathbb R^3$. In this note we show that distortion minimisers exist among convex embedded 2-spheres and have uniformly bounded eccentricity. Moreover, we prove that $π/2$ is…

The paper studies the automorphism groups of specific 3-manifolds and finds upper bounds for their sizes.

In this paper we consider a punctured Riemann surface endowed with a Hermitian metric which equals the Poincaré metric near the punctures and a holomorphic line bundle which polarizes the metric. We show that the Bergman kernel can be localized around the singularities and its local model is the Bergman kernel of the p…

New knots found with tough, unsliceable discs.

Classifies ancient flows in a disc with boundary.

Several variants of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with orthogonal or unitary recurrent matrices have recently been developed to mitigate the vanishing/exploding gradient problem and to model long-term dependencies of sequences. However, with the eigenvalues of the recurrent matrix on the unit circle, the recurrent s…

Given a polarized family of varieties over the unit disc, smooth except over the origin and with smooth fibers Calabi-Yau, we show that the origin lies at finite Weil-Petersson distance if and only if after a finite base change the family is birational to one with central fiber a Calabi-Yau variety with at worst canoni…

Let T(x,r) denote the first hitting time of the disc of radius r centered at x for Brownian motion on the two dimensional torus. We prove that sup_{x} T(x,r)/|log r|^2 --> 2/pi as r --> 0. The same applies to Brownian motion on any smooth, compact connected, two-dimensional, Riemannian manifold with unit area and no bo…

The paper explores isometric models and Busemann functions for Funk and Hilbert discs.

Let $Γ$ be either the infinite cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}$ or the Baumslag-Solitar group $\mathbb{Z} \ltimes \mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{2}]$. Let $K$ be a slice knot admitting a slice disc $D$ in the 4-ball whose exterior has fundamental group $Γ$. We classify the $Γ$-homotopy ribbon slice discs for $K$ up to topological ambien…
