The origin of quasiconformal mappings, like that of conformal mappings, can be traced back to old cartography where the basic problem was the search for mappings from the sphere onto the plane with minimal deviation from conformality,…

In 1941, L. Ahlfors gave another proof of a 1933 theorem of H. Cartan on approximation to hyperplanes of holomorphic curves in P^n. Ahlfors' proof built on earlier work of H. and J. Weyl (1938), and proved Cartan's theorem by studying the…

The so called Ahlfors function is the solution to an extremal problem. In this thesis, we study several properties of this function in a most general domain Omega. We consider the Ahlfors function in the context of analytic capacity, and…

This paper contains the details and complete proofs of our earlier announcement in math.AG/9907004 . We construct a general semiregularity map for algebraic cycles as asked for by S. Bloch in 1972. The existence of such a semiregularity map…

This is a commentary on Teichm{\"u}ller's paper Unter-suchungen{\"u}ber konforme und quasikonforme Abbildungen (Inves-tigations on conformal and quasiconformal mappings) published in 1938. The paper contains fundamental results in conformal…

These lecture notes present a computation driven pathway from classical complex analysis to the theory of compact Riemann surfaces and their connections to algebraic geometry. The exposition follows a compute first then abstract philosophy,…

The purpose of these notes is to present a fairly complete proof of the classification Theorem for compact surfaces. Other presentations are often quite informal (see the references in Chapter V) and we have tried to be more rigorous. Our…

The Ahlfors-Weill extension of a conformal mapping of the disk is generalized to the lift of a harmonic mapping of the disk to a minimal surface, producing homeomorphic and quasiconformal extensions. The extension is obtained by a…

Let \(X\) be a compact complex manifold possessing the \emph{Runge approximation property on discs}, meaning that every holomorphic map from a closed disc into \(X\) is approximable by a global holomorphic map from \(\mathbb{C}\). We…

Topologically, a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$ is a $g$-holed torus (a sphere with $g$ handles). This paper is an introduction to the theory of compact Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves. It presents the basic ideas and…

This paper gives an overview of several key innovations in the 19th century which led to complex geometry in the 20th century. This includes the creation of the complex plane, the work of Abel on addition theorems for generalized elliptic…

The traditional view in numerical conformal mapping is that once the boundary correspondence function has been found, the map and its inverse can be evaluated by contour integrals. We propose that it is much simpler, and 10-1000 times…

We show how to express a conformal map of a general two connected domain in the plane such that neither boundary component is a point to a representative domain which has the virtue of having an explicit algebraic Bergman kernel function.…

We study a global theory of affine maximal surfaces with singularities, which are called affine maximal maps and defined by Aledo--Mart\' inez--Mil\' an. In this paper, we define a special subclass of such surfaces other than improper…

This article studies a particular process that approximates solutions of the Beltrami equation (straightening of ellipse fields, a.k.a. measurable Riemann mapping theorem) on $\mathbb{C}$. It passes through the introduction of a sequence of…

The aim of this paper is to inter-relate several algebraic and analytic objects, such as real-type algebraic curves, quadrature domains, functions on them and rational matrix functions with special properties, and some objects from Operator…

Ahlfors Second Fundamental Theorem of covering surfaces over the Riemann sphere are one of the major events in the history of function theory, which is a geometrical interpretation of the famous Nevanlinna's Second Fundamental Theorem in…

This is a commentary on Teichm\"ullers' paper "Ver\"anderliche Riemannsche Fl\"achen" (Variable Riemann Surfaces), published in 1944. This paper is the last one that Teichm\"uller wrote on the problem of moduli. At most places the paper…

By the Riemann-mapping theorem, one can bijectively map the interior of an $n$-gon $P$ to that of another $n$-gon $Q$ conformally. However, (the boundary extension of) this mapping need not necessarily map the vertices of $P$ to those $Q$.…

We show that the "sharp Kaufman projection theorem" from 2023 is sharp in the class of Ahlfors $(1,\delta^{-\epsilon})$-regular sets. This is in contrast with a recent result of the first author, which improves the projection theorem in the…
