We study the three-point quantum $\mathfrak{sl_2}$-Gaudin model. In this case the compactification of the parameter space is $\overline{M_{0,4}(\mathbb{C})}$, which is the Riemann sphere. We analyze sphere coverings by the joint spectrum of…

In this paper, we investigate the geometry of Einstein-type equation on a Riemannian manifold, unifying various particular geometric structures recently studied in the literature, such as critical point equation and vacuum static equation.…

Motivated by a recent work of X. Chen and M. Zhu (Commun. Math. Stat., 1 (2013) 369-385), we establish a Trudinger-Moser inequality on compact Riemannian surface without boundary. The proof is based on blow-up analysis together with…

We construct a geometric model for the mapping class group M of a non-exceptional oriented surface of finite type and use it to show that the action of M on the compact Hausdorff space of complete geodesic laminations is topologically…

We construct an example of a quadratic differential whose vertical foliation is uniquely ergodic and such that the Teichmuller geodesic determined by the quadratic differential diverges in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.

The aim of this paper is to study the structure of the higher-dimensional Teichm\"uller and Riemann moduli spaces, viewed as stacks over the category of complex manifolds. We first show that the space of complex operators on a smooth…

Let $M$ be a hyperkahler manifold, $\Gamma$ its mapping class group, and $Teich$ the Teichmuller space of complex structures of hyperkahler type. After we glue together birationally equivalent points, we obtain the so-called birational…

Let $f$ be a postcritically finite branched self-cover of a 2-dimensional topological sphere. Such a map induces an analytic self-map $\sigma_f$ of a finite-dimensional Teichm\"uller space. We prove that this map extends continuously to the…

Causal rigid particles whose action includes an {\it arbitrary} dependence on the world-line extrinsic curvature are considered. General classes of solutions are constructed, including {\it causal tachyonic} ones. The Hamiltonian…

The Thurston metric on Teichmuller space, first introduced by W. P. Thurston is an asymmetric metric on Teichmuller space defined by $d_{Th}(X,Y) = \frac12 log\sup_{\alpha} \frac{l_{\alpha}(Y)}{l_{\alpha}(X)}$. This metric is geodesic, but…

Fuchsian groups with a modular embedding have the richest arithmetic properties among non-arithmetic Fuchsian groups. But they are very rare, all known examples being related either to triangle groups or to Teichmueller curves. In Part I of…

In 1981 Masur proved the existence of a dense geodesic in the moduli space for a Teichm\"uller space. We prove an analogue theorem for reduced Outer Space endowed with the Lipschitz metric. We also prove two results possibly of independent…

We establish a correspondence between information geometry and gauge theory. First, we define an important class of statistical manifolds, that is normalized and satisfies a conservation field equation. Second, we prove that for a…

We study of the shape of a compact singular minimal surface in terms of the geometry of its boundary, asking what type of {\it a priori} information can be obtained on the surface from the knowledge of its boundary. We derive estimates of…

We prove that the mapping class group $\Gamma_{g,n}$ for surfaces of negative Euler characteristic has a cofinite universal space $\E$ for proper actions (the resulting quotient is a finite $CW$-complex). The approach is to construct a…

We study the question of local and global uniqueness of completions, based on null geodesics, of Lorentzian manifolds. We show local uniqueness of such boundary extensions. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of…

We study the geometry of the Thurston metric on the Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}(S)$ of hyperbolic structures on a surface $S$. Some of our results on the coarse geometry of this metric apply to arbitrary surfaces $S$ of finite type;…

We analyse the issue of uniqueness of solutions of the static vacuum Einstein equations with prescribed geometric or Bartnik boundary data. Large classes of examples are constructed where uniqueness fails. We then discuss the implications…
