We classify Veech groups of tame non-compact flat surfaces. In particular we prove that all countable subgroups of $\mathbf{GL}_+(2,\R)$ avoiding the set of mappings of norm less than 1 appear as Veech groups of tame non-compact flat…

We study quotients of mapping class groups (\Gamma_{g,1}) of oriented surfaces with one boundary component by terms of their Johnson filtrations, and we show that the homology of these quotients with suitable systems of twisted coefficients…

We demonstrate that graphs embedded on surfaces are a powerful and practical tool to generate, characterize and simulate networks with a broad range of properties. Remarkably, the study of topologically embedded graphs is non-restrictive…

We consider stable minimal surfaces of genus 1 in Euclidean space and in Riemannian manifolds. Under the condition of covering stability (all finite covers are stable) we show that a genus 1 finite total curvature minimal surface in…

We give upper bounds of the numbers of holomorphic sections of Veech holomorphic families of Riemann surfaces. The numbers depend only on the topological types of base Riemann surfaces and fibers. We also show a relation between types of…

We study the translation surfaces obtained by considering the unfoldings of the surfaces of Platonic solids. We show that they are all lattice surfaces and we compute the topology of the associated Teichm\"uller curves. Using an algorithm…

A classical theorem of Siegel gives the average number of lattice points in bounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Motivated by this result, Veech introduced an analogue for translation surfaces, known as the Siegel-Veech formula, which…

A Kleinian group $\Gamma < \mathrm{Isom}(\mathbb H^3)$ is called convex cocompact if any orbit of $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb H^3$ is quasiconvex or, equivalently, $\Gamma$ acts cocompactly on the convex hull of its limit set in $\partial \mathbb…

Alignable nets are grid structures that can collapse to a planar strip, which is in fact the real-world counterpart of a curve. This property simplifies on-site assembly and enables compact transport and storage. These grid structures can…

Let $X$ be a surface of degree $n$, projected onto $\mathbb{CP}^2$. The surface has a natural Galois cover with Galois group $S_n.$ It is possible to determine the fundamental group of a Galois cover from that of the complement of the…

The Gauss-Bonnet formula for classical translation surfaces relates the cone angle of the singularities (geometry) to the genus of the surface (topology). When considering more general translation surfaces, we observe so-called wild…

In the homogeneous space Sol$_3$, a translation surface is parameterized by $x(s,t)=\alpha(s)\ast\beta(t)$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are curves contained in coordinate planes and $\ast$ denotes the group operation of Sol$_3$. In this…

Let $V$ be a rational, selfdual, $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra of CFT type, and $G$ a finite automorphism group of $V.$ It is proved that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on twisted conformal blocks associated…

A translation surface of Euclidean space $\r^3$ is the sum of two regular curves $\alpha$ and $\beta$, called the generating curves. In this paper we classify the minimal translation surfaces of $\r^3$ and we give a method of construction…

These notes discuss an infinite translation surface, introduced by Chamanara. We review his proof that the Veech group is a non-elementary Fuchsian group of the second kind which is generated by two parabolic elements.

We study how are permuted Weierstrass points of Veech surfaces in $\mathcal{H}(2)$, the stratum of Abelian differentials on Riemann surfaces in genus two with a single zero of order two. These surfaces were classified by McMullen relying on…

The homology groups of many natural sequences of groups $\{G_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ (e.g. general linear groups, mapping class groups, etc.) stabilize as $n \rightarrow \infty$. Indeed, there is a well-known machine for proving such results…

We classify surface Houghton groups, as well as their pure subgroups, up to isomorphism, commensurability, and quasi-isometry.

We refine the theory of the cohomological equation for translation flows on higher genus surfaces with the goal of proving optimal results on the Sobolev regularity of solutions and of distributional obstructions. For typical translation…

Let $G$ be a split reductive group over a finite field $k$. In this note we study the space $V$ of finitely supported functions on the set of isomorphism classes $G$-bundles on the projective line ${\mathbb P}^1$ endowed with a…
