We prove Koebe's conjecture and a version of Schramm's cofat uniformization theorem for domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb C$ satisfying conditions involving quasitripods, i.e., quasisymmetric images of the standard tripod. If the non-point…
We show that every bordered Riemann surface, $M$, with smooth boundary $bM$ admits a proper holomorphic map $M\to \Omega$ into any bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$, $n>1$, extending to a smooth map $f:\overline…
We establish a connection between two previously unrelated topics: a particular discrete version of conformal geometry for triangulated surfaces, and the geometry of ideal polyhedra in hyperbolic three-space. Two triangulated surfaces are…
We numerically benchmark methods for computing harmonic maps into the unit sphere, with particular focus on harmonic maps with singularities. For the discretization we compare two different approaches, both based on Lagrange finite…
We show that conformal maps of simply connected domains with an analytic boundary to a unit disk have an intimate relation to the dispersionless 2D Toda integrable hierarchy. The maps are determined by a particular solution to the hierarchy…
In this article we consider area preserving diffeomorphisms of planar domains, and we are interested in their conformal points, i.e., points at which the derivative is a similarity. We present some conditions that guarantee existence of…
We study orthogonal polynomials on a fully symmetric planar domain $\Omega$ that is generated by a certain triangle in the first quadrant. For a family of weight functions on $\Omega$, we show that orthogonal polynomials that are even in…
While the existence of conformal mappings between doubly connected domains is characterized by their conformal moduli, no such characterization is available for harmonic diffeomorphisms. Intuitively, one expects their existence if the…

We prove a number of double-sided estimates relating discrete counterparts of several classical conformal invariants of a quadrilateral: cross-ratios, extremal lengths and random walk partition functions. The results hold true for any…
We discuss conformal manifolds for conformal field theories with boundaries or defects. Using conformal perturbation theory we derive constraints on coefficients appearing in the boundary operator product expansion and three-point functions…
For a bounded domain equipped with a piecewise Lipschitz continuous Riemannian metric g, we consider harmonic map from $(\Omega, g)$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $(N,h)\subset\mathbb R^k$ without boundary. We generalize the notion of…
Conformal harmonic maps from a 4-dimensional conformal manifold to a Riemannian manifold are maps satisfying a certain conformally invariant fourth order equation. We prove a general existence result for conformal harmonic maps, analogous…
In this paper we prove a compactness theorem for a sequence of harmonic maps which are defined on a converging sequence of Riemannian manifolds.
The aim of this study is to analyze the properties of harmonic fields in the vicinity of rough boundaries where either a constant potential or a zero flux is imposed, while a constant field is prescribed at an infinite distance from this…
In this paper, we discuss the associated family of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type which are either algebraic or totally symmetric. These…
We extend our discrete uniformization theorems for planar, $m$-connected, Jordan domains [Journal f\"ur die reine und angewandte Mathematik 670 (2012), 65--92] to closed surfaces of non-positive genus.
In this paper, we formulate and prove a general compactness theorem for harmonic maps using Deligne-Mumford moduli space and families of curves. The main theorem shows that given a sequence of harmonic maps over a sequence of complex…
