Related papers: On the Capacity and Depth of Compact Surfaces

The paper is an extended version of the talk which I gave at the XIX Congresso dell'UMI in Bologna in September 2011. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to give an overview on the recent development in the classification of surfaces…

It is shown that if a space-time has non-compact Cauchy surface, then its topological, differentiable, and causal structure are completely determined by a class of compact subsets of its Cauchy surface. Since causal structure determines its…

A topological group $G$ is called an $M_\omega$-group if it admits a countable cover $\K$ by closed metrizable subspaces of $G$ such that a subset $U$ of $G$ is open in $G$ if and only if $U\cap K$ is open in $K$ for every $K\in\K$. It is…

In this paper, we mainly study the compactness and local structure of immersing surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with local uniform bounded area and small total curvature $\int_{\Sigma\cap B_1(0)} |A|^2$. A key ingredient is a new quantity which…

Given a surface in an asymptotically flat 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature, we derive an upper bound for the capacity of the surface in terms of the area of the surface and the Willmore functional of the surface. The capacity of…

By Gromov's compactness theorem for metric spaces, every uniformly compact sequence of metric spaces admits an isometric embedding into a common compact metric space in which a subsequence converges with respect to the Hausdorff distance.…

We consider the intersection of a convex surface $\Ga$ with a periodic perforation of $\R^d$, which looks like a sieve, given by $T_\e = \bigcup_{k\in \Z^d}\{\e k+a_\e T\}$ where $T$ is a given compact set and $a_\e\ll \e$ is the size of…

The entropy functional introduced by Colding and Minicozzi plays a fundamental role in the analysis of mean curvature flow. However, unlike the hypersurface case, relatively little about the entropy is known in the higher-codimension case.…

Let M = M_{g,k} denote the space of properly (Alexandrov) embedded constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces of genus g with k (labeled) ends, modulo rigid motions, endowed with the real analytic structure described in [kmp]. Let $P = P_{g,k}…

We consider the homotopical dynamics on compact orientable surfaces of positive genus g. We establish a sufficient and necessary algebraic criterion for homotopy classes with infinitely many periodic points of maps on such surfaces in terms…

We compactify the spaces $K(m,n)$ introduced by Maxim Kontsevich. The initial idea was to construct an $L_\infty$ algebra governing the deformations of a (co)associative bialgebra. However, this compactification leads not to a resolution of…

Projective structures on topological surfaces support the structure of 2d CFTs with a degree of technical simplification. We propose a complex analytic space $\mathcal{P}_g$ biholomorphic to $T^*_{(1,0)} \mathcal{M}_g$ as a candidate moduli…

We study the conformal capacity by using novel computational algorithms based on implementations of the fast multipole method, and analytic techniques. Especially, we apply domain functionals to study the capacities of condensers $(G,E)$…

Let $S_{g}$ denote the genus $g$ closed orientable surface. For $k\in \mathbb{N}$, a $k$-system is a collection of pairwise non-homotopic simple closed curves such that no two intersect more than $k$ times. Juvan-Malni\v{c}-Mohar…

For any $\varepsilon>0$, we construct a closed hyperbolic surface of genus $g=g(\varepsilon)$ with a set of at most $\varepsilon g$ systoles that fill, meaning that each component of the complement of their union is contractible. This…

We prove there exists a compact embedded minimal surface in a complete finite volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold $\mathcal{N}$. We also obtain a least area, incompressible, properly embedded, finite topology, $2$-sided surface. We prove a…

The first author introduced a measure of compactness for families of sets, relative to a class of filters, in the context of convergence approach spaces. We characterize a variety of maps (types of quotient maps, closed maps, and variants…

We consider immersions admitting uniform representations as an L-Lipschitz graph. In codimension 1, we show compactness for such immersions for arbitrary fixed finite L and uniformly bounded volume. The same result is shown in arbitrary…

An extremal $k$-packing is a collection of $k$ mutually disjoint metric discs, embedded in a surface, whose radius is maximal for the given topology. We study compact non-orientable surfaces of genus $g\ge 3$ containing extremal…

We study the cohomology of the space of immersed genus g surfaces in a simply-connected manifold. We compute the rational cohomology of this space in a stable range which goes to infinity with g. In fact, in this stable range we are also…
