Let \Sigma be a compact Riemann surface with n distinguished points p_1,...,p_n. We prove that the set of n-tuples (\phi_1,...,\phi_n) of univalent mappings \phi_i from the open unit disc into \Sigma mapping 0 to p_i, with non-overlapping…

We propose a mathematical structure, based on a noncommutative geometry, which combines essential aspects of general relativity and quantum mechanics, and leads to correct "limiting cases" of both these theories. We quantize a groupoid…

Neretin and Segal independently defined a semigroup of annuli with boundary parametrizations, which is viewed as a complexification of the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle. By extending the parametrizations to quasisymmetries, we show…
It is known that the spin structure on a Riemannian manifold can be extended to noncommutative geometry using the notion of a spectral triple. For finite geometries, the corresponding finite spectral triples are completely described in…
