In this paper we investigate the moduli space of parabolic Higgs bundles over a punctured Riemann surface with varying weights at the punctures. We show that the harmonic metric depends analytically on the weights and the stable Higgs…
We prove that a generically regular semisimple Higgs bundle equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric pairing on any Riemann surface always has a harmonic metric compatible with the pairing. We also study the classification of such…
We prove the existence of nonconstant harmonic maps of optimal regularity from an arbitrary closed manifold $(M^n,g)$ of dimension $n>2$ to any closed, non-aspherical manifold $N$ containing no stable minimal two-spheres. In particular,…
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…
Wolf gave a homeomorphism from the Teichm\"uller space to the space of quadratic differentials on a closed Riemann surface by using harmonic maps. Moreover, using harmonic maps rays, he gave a compactification of the Teichm\"uller space and…
In this paper, we study the gluing construction of the extended harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. Harmonic maps are critical points of the energy functional. We construct the gluing map of the extended harmonic maps from Riemann…
We prove the existence of "half-plane differentials" with prescribed local data on any Riemann surface. These are meromorphic quadratic differentials with higher-order poles which have an associated singular flat metric isometric to a…
Two compactifications of the space of holomorphic maps of fixed degree from a compact Riemann surface to a Grassmannian are studied. It is shown that the Uhlenbeck compactification has the structure of a projective scheme and is dominated…
We study framed translation surfaces corresponding to meromorphic differentials on compact Riemann surfaces, for which a horizontal separatrix is marked for each pole or zero. Such geometric structures naturally appear when studying flat…
We show the existence of non-trivial self-expanding harmonic map flows starting from non-energy-minimizing 0-homogeneous maps to a regular ball or a closed hemisphere. In particular, given a non-minimizing but stationary 0-homogeneous…
In the present paper, we study bi-$f$-harmonic maps which generalize not only $f$-harmonic maps, but also biharmonic maps. We derive bi-$f$-harmonic equations for curves in the Euclidean space, unit sphere, hyperbolic space, and in…
We construct, for every \(0<k<1\), a bounded globally univalent harmonic mapping \[ f=h+\overline g \colon \D\to\C \] such that \[ |g'(z)|\le k|h'(z)|,\qquad z\in\D, \] while the analytic part \(h\) is unbounded. The construction is based…
Let ${\mathbb M}_{g, 1}$, $g \geq 1$, be the moduli space of triples $(C, P_0, v)$ of genus $g$, where $C$ is a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$, $P_0 \in C$, and $v \in T_{P_0}C\setminus\{0\}$. Using Chen's iterated integrals we…
We study the asymptotic geometry of a family of conformally planar minimal surfaces with polynomial growth in the $\mathrm{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$-symmetric space. We describe a homeomomorphism between the "Hitchin component" of wild…
A smooth curve in the real projective plane is hyperbolic if its ovals are maximally nested. By the Helton-Vinnikov Theorem, any such curve admits a definite symmetric determinantal representation. We use polynomial homotopy continuation to…
As is well-known, given the complex sphere P^1 minus two points, there exist nonconstant holomorphic maps from the plane into this set, the simplest example of which is given by applying the exponential map and then composing with a…
We study harmonic maps from degenerating Riemann surfaces with uniformly bounded energy and show the so-called generalized energy identity. We find conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for the compactness in $W^{1,2}$ and…
For a bounded domain equipped with a piecewise Lipschitz continuous Riemannian metric g, we consider harmonic map from $(\Omega, g)$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $(N,h)\subset\mathbb R^k$ without boundary. We generalize the notion of…
We classify all harmonic maps with finite uniton number from a Riemann surface into an arbitrary compact simple Lie group $G$, whether $G$ has trivial centre or not, in terms of certain pieces of the Bruhat decomposition of the group…
In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties of complex-valued pluriharmonic mappings defined over convex Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We first establish a multidimensional analogue of the Noshiro-Warschawski Theorem,…
