We prove the existence of "half-plane differentials" with prescribed local data on any Riemann surface. These are meromorphic quadratic differentials with higher-order poles which have an associated singular flat metric isometric to a…

Let $(\Sigma,p)$ be a pointed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. For any integer $k\geq 1$, we parametrize the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $\Sigma$ with a pole of order $(k+2)$ at $p$, having a connected critical graph…

In \cite{MP} we have shown that if a compact Riemann surface admits a Strebel differential with rational periods, then the Riemann surface is the complex model of an algebraic curve defined over the field of algebraic numbers. We will show…

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…

In this paper, motivated by the classical notion of a Strebel quadratic differential on a compact Riemann surfaces without boundary we introduce the notion of a quasi-Strebel structure for a meromorphic differential of an arbitrary order.…

We prove that an infinite Riemann surface $X$ is parabolic ($X\in O_G$) if and only if the union of the horizontal trajectories of any integrable holomorphic quadratic differential that are cross-cuts is of zero measure. Then we establish…

A (meromorphic) quadratic differential is a (meromorphic) section of the tensor square of the canonical bundle of a Riemann surface. They arose in the study of quasiconformal mappings in the works of Oswald Teichm\"uller, and have played a…

It is well known that there is a bijective correspondence between metric ribbon graphs and compact Riemann surfaces with meromorphic Strebel differentials. In this article, it is proved that Grothendieck's correspondence between dessins…

A finite-area holomorphic quadratic differentials on an arbitrary Riemann surface $X=\mathbb{H}/\Gamma$ is uniquely determined by its horizontal measured foliation. By extending our prior result for $\Gamma$ of the first kind to arbitrary…

In this paper, motivated by the classical notion of a Strebel qua- dratic differential on a compact Riemann surface without boundary, we in- troduce several classes of quadratic differentials (called non-chaotic, gradient, and positive…

By work of Jenkins and Strebel, given a Riemann surface X and a simple closed multi-curve $\alpha$ on it, there exists a unique quadratic differential q on X whose horizontal foliation is measure equivalent to $\alpha$. We study the…

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…

In differential geometry, the notation d^n f along with the corresponding formalism has fallen into disuse since the birth of exterior calculus. However, differentials of higher order are useful objects that can be interpreted in terms of…

A meromorphic differential on a Riemann surface is said to be {\it real-normalized} if all its periods are real. Real-normalized differentials on Riemann surfaces of given genus with prescribed orders of their poles form real orbifolds…

We study constructing an algebraic curve from a Riemann surface given via a translation surface, which is a collection of finitely many polygons in the plane with sides identified by translation. We use the theory of discrete Riemann…

Given a compact Riemann surface $X$, we consider the line, in the space of sections of $2\Theta$ on $J^0(X)$, orthogonal to all the sections that vanish at the origin. This line produces a natural meromorphic bidifferential on $X\times X$…

Omega-deformation of the Seiberg-Witten curve is known to be written in terms of the qq-character, namely the trace of a specific operator acting in a Hilbert space spanned by certain Young diagrams. We define a differential form acting on…

For compact regions Omega in R^3 with generic smooth boundary B, we consider geometric properties of Omega which lie midway between their topology and geometry and can be summarized by the term "geometric complexity". The "geometric…

We introduce Omega functions that generalize Euler Gamma functions and study the functional difference equation they satisfy. Under a natural exponential growth condition, the vector space of meromorphic solutions of the functional equation…

We show that for any surface of genus at least 3 equipped with any choice of framing, the graph of non-separating curves with winding number 0 with respect to the framing is hierarchically hyperbolic but not Gromov hyperbolic. We also…
