We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense.…

In this paper we consider the compactness of $\beta$-symplectic critical surfaces in a K\"ahler surface. Let $M$ be a compact K\"ahler surface and $\Sigma_i\subset M$ be a sequence of closed $\beta_i$-symplectic critical surfaces with…

Let $\Sigma\subset \R^{2n}$ with $n\geq2$ be any $C^2$ compact convex hypersurface and only has finitely geometrically distinct closed characteristics. Based on Y.Long and C.Zhu 's index jump methods \cite{LoZ1}, we prove that there are at…

Putman and Wieland conjectured that if $\tilde{\Sigma} \rightarrow \Sigma$ is a finite branched cover between closed oriented surfaces of sufficiently high genus, then the orbits of all nonzero elements of $H_1(\tilde{\Sigma};\mathbb{Q})$…

We prove here that in the complement of the closure of the hyperbolic surface diffeomorphisms, the ones exhibiting a homoclinic tangency are C^1 dense. This represents a step towards the global understanding of dynamics of surface…

The paper contains a description of the links of complex surface germ.

We prove the "End Curve Theorem," which states that a normal surface singularity $(X,o)$ with rational homology sphere link $\Sigma$ is a splice-quotient singularity if and only if it has an end curve function for each leaf of a good…

A quadric in $\R P^3$ cuts a curve of degree 6 on a cubic surface in $\R P^3$. The papers classifies the nonsingular curves cut in this way on non-singular cubic surfaces up to homeomorphism. Two issues new in the study related to the first…

We define a notion of quantum automorphism group of Graph C*-algebras for finite, connected graphs. Under the assumption that the underlying graph does not have any multiple edge or loop, the quantum automorphism group of underlying…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact convex hypersurface in ${\bf R}^{2n}$ which is P-cyclic symmetric, i.e., $x\in \Sigma$ implies $Px\in\Sigma$ with P being a $2n\times2n$ symplectic orthogonal matrix and satisfying $P^k=I_{2n}$, $ker(P^l-I_{2n})=0$…

Given a hyperbolic surface $\Sigma$ of genus $g$ with $r$ cusps, Mirzakhani proved that the number of closed geodesics of length at most $L$ and of a given type is asymptotic to $cL^{6g-6+2r}$ for some $c>0$. Since a closed geodesic…

Consider a one-ended word-hyperbolic group. If it is the fundamental group of a graph of free groups with cyclic edge groups then either it is the fundamental group of a surface or it contains a finitely generated one-ended subgroup of…

In this article, let $\Sigma\subset\R^{2n}$ be a compact convex hypersurface which is symmetric with respect to the origin. We prove that if $\Sg$ carries finitely many geometrically distinct closed characteristics, then at least $n-1$ of…

We derive various inequalities involving the intersection number of the curves contained in geodesics and tight geodesics in the curve graph. While there already exist such inequalities on tight geodesics, our method applies in the setting…

A monotone cylindrical graph is a topological graph drawn on an open cylinder with an infinite vertical axis satisfying the condition that every vertical line intersects every edge at most once. It is called simple if any pair of its edges…

We give a sharp bound on the number of automorphisms of a stable curve of a given genus and describe all curves attaining this bound.

In this paper, we want to study the link between the presence of compact objects with some analytic structure and the global geometry of a weakly complete surface. We begin with a brief survey of some now classic results on the local…

The closure of a braid in a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ is a link in $\Sigma\times S^1$. We classify such closed surface braids up to isotopy and homeomorphism (with a small indeterminacy for isotopy of closed sphere braids),…

In all possible cases, we prove that local embeddings between two curve complexes whose complexities do not increase from domain to codomain are induced by surface homeomorphism. This is our first main result. From this we can deduce our…

Let C be an algebraic curve in a power of an elliptic curve, both defined over the algebraic numbers. We show that the set of algebraic points of C which satisfy certain conditions is a finite set. This result has implications with the…
