A three-dimensional orbifold $(\Sigma, \gamma_i, n_i)$, where $\Sigma$ is a rational homology sphere, has a universal abelian orbifold covering, whose covering group is the first orbifold homology. A singular pair $(X,C)$, where $X$ is a…
In this work we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a minimal timelike strip in Lorentz-Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^4_1$ containing a given lightlike curve and prescribed normal bundle. We also discuss…
We explain how to use the computer algebra system OSCAR to find all elliptic fibrations (up to automorphism) on a given surface and compute their Weierstrass models. This is illustrated for Vinberg's most algebraic K3 surface, the unique K3…
The Hilbert transforms associated with monomial curves have a natural non-isotropic structure. We study the commutator of such Hilbert transforms and a symbol $b$ and prove the upper bound of this commutator when $b$ is in the corresponding…
We give a positive answer to the Berry-Robbins problem for any compact Lie group G, i.e. we show the existence of a smooth W-equivariant map from the space of regular triples in a Cartan subalgebra to the flag manifold G/T. This map is…
This work is dedicated to the study of the Moebius invariant class of constrained Willmore surfaces and its symmetries. We define a spectral deformation by the action of a loop of flat metric connections; Baecklund transformations, by…
Let $S$ be a parametric surface in $\proj{3}$ given as the image of $\phi: \proj{1} \times \proj{1} \to \proj{3}$. This paper will show that the use of syzygies in the form of a combination of moving planes and moving quadrics provides a…
We develop a bubble tree construction and prove compactness results for $W^{2,2}$ branched conformal immersions of closed Riemann surfaces, with varying conformal structures whose limit may degenerate, in a compact Riemannian manifold with…
We classify simply-connected, complete Willmore surfaces with vanishing Gaussian curvature. We also study the Willmore cones and give a classification. As an application, we give a Bernstein-type theorem.
We introduce orbifold Euler numbers for normal surfaces with Q-divisors. These numbers behave multiplicatively under finite maps and in the log canonical case we prove that they satisfy the Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau type inequality. As a…
We propose a novel meshless method to compute harmonic maps and conformal maps for surfaces embedded in the Euclidean 3-space, using point cloud data only. Given a surface, or a point cloud approximation, we simply use the standard cubic…
In this semi-expository article, we study Born-Infeld soliton surfaces as zero mean curvature surfaces and derive conformal parameters for them. Then we present two approaches to solve the Bj\"orling problem for such surfaces, one of them…
In this paper, first we study on Bour's theorem for four kinds of timelike helicoidal surfaces in 4-dimensional Minkowski space. Secondly, we analyse the geometric properties of these isometric surfaces having same Gauss map. Also, we…
The Gauss map of non-degenerate surfaces in the three-dimensional Minkowski space are viewed as dynamical fields of the two-dimensional O(2,1) Nonlinear Sigma Model. In this setting, the moduli space of solutions with rotational symmetry is…
It was recently shown by R. Souam and E. Toubiana that the (non constantly curved) Berger spheres do not contain totally umbilic surfaces. Nevertheless in this article we show, by perturbative arguments, that all analytic metrics…
In this note we consider homogeneous Willmore surfaces in $S^{n+2}$. The main result is that a homogeneous Willmore two-sphere is conformally equivalent to a homogeneous minimal two-sphere in $S^{n+2}$, i.e., either a round two-sphere or…
The Weierstrass curve $X$ is a smooth algebraic curve determined by the Weierstrass canonical form, $y^r + A_{1}(x) y^{r-1} + A_{2}(x) y^{r-2} +\cdots + A_{r-1}(x) y + A_{r}(x)=0$, where $r$ is a positive integer, and each $A_j$ is a…
We use a conformal mapping method introduced in a companion paper to study the properties of bi-harmonic fields in the vicinity of rough boundaries. We focus our analysis on two different situations where such bi-harmonic problems are…
We derive and study supergravity BPS flow equations for M5 or D3 branes wrapping a Riemann surface. They take the form of novel geometric flows intrinsically defined on the surface. Their dual field-theoretic interpretation suggests the…
We give conditions on the Lee vector field of an almost Hermitian manifold such that any holomorphic map from this manifold into a (1,2)-symplectic manifold must satisfy the fourth-order condition of being biharmonic, hence generalizing the…
