To each regular affine building there is naturally associated a commutative algebra A spanned by vertex set averaging operators. In this paper we study the algebra homomorphisms from A into the complex numbers. In particular, we provide two…

The theme of the first two sections, is to prepare the framework of how from a ``complicated'' family of so called index models $I \in K_1$ we build many and/or complicated structures in a class $K_2$. The index models are…

We present a variety of geometrical and combinatorial tools that are used in the study of geometric structures on surfaces: volume, contact, symplectic, complex and almost complex structures. We start with a series of local rigidity results…

We answer the natural question: when are a regular Poisson structure along with a complex structure transverse to its symplectic leaves induced by generalized complex structure? The leafwise symplectic form and transverse complex structure…

We prove that harmonic maps into Euclidean buildings, which are not necessarily locally finite, have singular sets of Hausdorff codimension 2, extending the locally finite regularity result of Gromov and Schoen. As an application, we prove…

In this paper, we construct polynomial growth harmonic maps from once-punctured Riemann surfaces of any finite genus to any even-sided, regular, ideal polygon in the hyperbolic plane. We also establish their uniqueness within a class of…

We study the possibility of applying a finite-dimensionality argument in order to address parts of the Baum-Connes conjecture for finitely generated linear groups. This gives an alternative approach to the results of Guentner, Higson, and…

We show that certain structures and constructions of the Whitham theory, an essential part of the perturbation theory of soliton equations, can be instrumental in understanding the geometry of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with…

Bachmann, Takeyama and Tasaka introduced a $\mathbb{Q}$-linear map $\phi$, which we call the symmetrization map in this paper, on the harmonic algebra $\mathfrak{H}^1$. They calculated $\phi(w)$ explicitly for an element $w$ in…

We define and study complex structures and generalizations on spaces consisting of geodesics or harmonic maps that are compatible with the symmetries of these spaces. The main results are about existence and uniqueness of such structures.

We construct a moduli space for Riemann surfaces that is universal in the sense that it represents compact Riemann surfaces of any finite genus. This moduli space is stratifed according to genus, and it carries a metric and a measure that…

In this paper, we develop a loop group description of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ of finite uniton number, from a Riemann surface $M,$ compact or non-compact, into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type. As…

We construct a scattering theory for harmonic one-forms on Riemann surfaces, obtained from boundary value problems through systems of curves and the jump problem. We obtain an explicit expression for the scattering matrix in terms of…

The purpose of this note is to show that W3 algebras originate from an unusual interplay between the breakings of the reparametrization invariance under the diffemorphism action on the cotangent bundle of a Riemann surface. It is recalled…

This paper is the third of a series on Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian surfaces. We present here the most general theory, valid for any Hermitian symmetric target space. Using well-chosen moving frame formalism, we show that the equations…

A few pages in Siegel describe how, starting with a fundamental polygon for a compact Riemann surface, one can construct a symplectic basis of its homology. This note retells that construction, specializing to the case where the surface is…

We recall the theory of linear discrete Riemann surfaces and show how to use it in order to interpret a surface embedded in R^3 as a discrete Riemann surface and compute its basis of holomorphic forms on it. We present numerical examples,…

We use real algebraic geometry to construct an affine $\Lambda$-building $B$ associated to the $\mathbb{F}$-points of a semisimple algebraic group, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a valued real closed field. We characterize the spherical building at…
