One of the basic geometric objects in conformal field theory (CFT) is the the moduli space of Riemann surfaces whose $n$ boundaries are ''rigged'' with analytic parametrizations. The fundamental operation is the sewing of such surfaces…

We construct moduli spaces of complex affine and dilation surfaces. Using ideas of Veech, we show that the the moduli space of affine surfaces with fixed genus and with cone points of fixed complex order is a holomorphic affine bundle over…

In this paper we give a gauge theoretic construction of the joint moduli space of stable G-Higgs bundles on closed Riemann surfaces, where the Riemann surface structure is allowed to vary in the Teichm\"uller space of the underlying smooth…

In this article, we derive estimates of Teichm\"uller modular forms, and associated invariants. Let $\mathcal{M}_{g}$ denote the moduli space of compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$, and let $\overline{M}_{g}$ be the…

We show that the infinite-dimensional Teichmueller space of a Riemann surface whose boundary consists of n closed curves is a holomorphic fiber space over the Teichmueller space of n-punctured surfaces. Each fiber is a complex Banach…

A holomorphic triple over a compact Riemann surface consists of two holomorphic vector bundles and a holomorphic map between them. After fixing the topological types of the bundles and a real parameter, there exist moduli spaces of stable…

Let \Sigma be a compact Riemann surface with n distinguished points p_1,...,p_n. We prove that the set of n-tuples (\phi_1,...,\phi_n) of univalent mappings \phi_i from the open unit disc into \Sigma mapping 0 to p_i, with non-overlapping…

In this paper we give a general family of conformal invariants associated to bordered Riemann surfaces endowed with boundary parametrizations, or equivalently compact surfaces endowed with conformal maps. Each invariant is specified by a…

Let $\Sigma$ be a Riemann surface of genus $g$ bordered by $n$ curves homeomorphic to the circle $\mathbb{S}^1$, and assume that $2g+2-n>0$. For such bordered Riemann surfaces, the authors have previously defined a Teichm\"uller space which…

We use meromorphic quadratic differentials with higher order poles to parametrize the Teichm\"uller space of crowned hyperbolic surfaces. Such a surface is obtained on uniformizing a compact Riemann surface with marked points on its…

We study closures of GL_2(R)-orbits on the total space of the Hodge bundle over the moduli space of curves under the assumption that they are algebraic manifolds. We show that, in the generic stratum, such manifolds are the whole stratum,…

We study the moduli space of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations with $N$ spinors on a compact Riemann surface. These moduli spaces arise in a program to define a new enumerative invariant of 3-manifolds. They are also of independent…

In this paper we study the smooth moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. This smooth moduli is an infinite cover of the usual moduli space $\mathscr{M}_g$ of closed Riemann surfaces, and is identified with the Schottky space of rank $g.$…

In this paper we study the moduli space of the tropicalizations of Riemann surfaces. We first tropicalize a smooth pointed Riemann surface by a graph defined by its (hyperbolic) pair of pants decomposition. Then we can construct the moduli…

We prove a semisimplicity result for the boundary, in the corresponding Deligne-Mumford compactification, of a totally geodesic subvariety of a moduli space of Riemann surfaces. At the level of Teichm\"uller space, this semisimplicity…

We define a kind of moduli space of nested surfaces and mappings, which we call a comparison moduli space. We review examples of such spaces in geometric function theory and modern Teichmueller theory, and illustrate how a wide range of…

We compare the deformation theory and the analytic structure of the Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces of a K\"ahler surface to the corresponding components of the Hilbert scheme, and show that they are isomorphic. Next we show how to compute the…

Using the methods of the previous paper [ABG], we show that the Teichmuller space T of all closed Riemann surfaces is fibred twice over the Teichmuller space H of hyperelliptic ones. Both fibre bundles \pi_1,\pi_2:T->H are real algebraic…

We compare some natural triangulations of the Teichm\"uller space of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary and of some bordifications. We adapt Scannell-Wolf's proof to show that grafting semi-infinite cylinders at the ends of…

We extend Hitchin's results on "The self-duality equations on a Riemann surface" (Proc. LMS (3), vol. 55, 1987) to orbifold Riemann surfaces. We prove existence results for orbifold solutions of the Yang-Mills-Higgs equations and construct…
