We prove that rigid representations of the fundamental group of a surface into the group of oreintation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle are geometric, thereby establishing a converse statement of a theorem by the first author.

This is a draft of a textbook on differential forms. The primary target audience is sophmore level undergraduates enrolled in what would traditionally be a course in vector calculus. Later chapters will be of interest to advaced…
We discuss, following Mikhalkin, Brugall\'e, and many others, the counting of curves on toric surfaces with prescribed genus, Newton polygon, and intersection pattern with the toric boundary divisor, both at assigned and unassigned points.…
Back in the Eighties, Heath showed that every 3-planar graph is subhamiltonian and asked whether this result can be extended to a class of graphs of degree greater than three. In this paper we affirmatively answer this question for the…
Several sets of quaternionic functions are described and studied with respect to hy-perholomorphy, addition and (non commutative) multiplication, on open sets of H, then Hamil-ton 4-manifolds analogous to Riemann surfaces, for H instead of…
We introduce invariant rings for forms (homogeneous polynomials) and for d points on the projective space, from the point of view of representation theory. We discuss several examples, addressing some computational issues. We introduce the…
In this paper, we deal with hamiltonicity in planar cubic graphs G having a facial 2-factor Q via (quasi) spanning trees of faces in G/Q and study the algorithmic complexity of finding such (quasi) spanning trees of faces. Moreover, we show…
In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…
These notes study the dynamics of iterated holomorphic mappings from a Riemann surface to itself, concentrating on the classical case of rational maps of the Riemann sphere. They are based on introductory lectures given at Stony Brook…
On one hand, we study the class of graphs on surfaces, satisfying tessellation properties, with positive Forman curvature on each edge. Via medial graphs, we provide a new proof for the finiteness of the class, and give a complete…
Based on the seminal work by John T. Sheridan [1] we discuss the usefulness and validity of simple diffraction theories frequently used to determine and characterize optical holographic gratings. Experimental investigations obtained in…
A survey of some recent and important results which have to do with integrable equations and their relationship with the theory of surfaces is given. Some new results are also presented. The concept of the moving frame is examined, and it…
In this article, we introduce rotation groups as a common generalisation of Coxeter groups and graph products of groups (including right-angled Artin groups). We characterise algebraically these groups by presentations (periagroups) and we…
Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a connected compact surface $\Sigma$, and $M$ be an integer homology 3-sphere. We show that if each element of $G$ is extendable over $M$ with respect to a fixed embedding $\Sigma\rightarrow M$, then $G$…
Taking a Feynman categorical perspective, several key aspects of the geometry of surfaces are deduced from combinatorial constructions with graphs. This provides a direct route from combinatorics of graphs to string topology operations via…
Intersection graphs are very important in both theoretical as well as application point of view. Depending on the geometrical representation, different type of intersection graphs are defined. Among them interval, circular-arc, permutation,…
In The factorization of the Giry monad (arXiv:1707.00488v2) the author considers two $\sigma$-algebras on convex spaces of functions to the unit interval. One of them is generated by the Boolean subobjects and the other is the…
A method is suggested for construction of quadrangulations of the closed orientable surface with given genus g and either (1) with given chromatic number or (2) with given order allowed by the genus g. In particular, N. Hartsfield and G.…
On June 5, 2007 the second author delivered a talk at the Journees de l'Institut Elie Cartan entitled "Finite symmetry groups in complex geometry". This paper begins with an expanded version of that talk which, in the spirit of the…
