We give an alternate proof to the following generalization of the uniformization theorem by Bonk and Kleiner. Any linearly locally connected and Ahlfors 2-regular closed metric surface is quasisymmetrically equivalent to a model surface of…

Bonk and Kleiner showed that any metric sphere which is Ahlfors 2-regular and linearly locally contractible is quasisymmetrically equivalent to the standard sphere, in a quantitative way. We extend this result to arbitrary metric compact…

We establish uniformization results for metric spaces that are homeomorphic to the euclidean plane or sphere and have locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure. Applying the geometric definition of quasiconformality, we give a necessary and…

The classical uniformization theorem states that any simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to the disk, the plane, or the sphere, each equipped with a standard conformal structure. We give a similar uniformization for…

We show that a locally Ahlfors 2-regular and locally linearly locally contractible metric surface is locally quasisymmetrically equivalent to the disk. We also discuss an application of this result to the problem of characterizing surfaces…

We look for minimal conditions on a two-dimensional metric surface $X$ of locally finite Hausdorff $2$-measure under which $X$ admits an (almost) parametrization with good geometric and analytic properties. Only assuming that $X$ is locally…

We investigate the quasisymmetric uniformization of a special class of metric surfaces known as paper surfaces, constructed as quotients of planar multipolygons via segment pairings, including infinite Type W identifications. These spaces,…

We prove that any length metric space homeomorphic to a 2-manifold with boundary, also called a length surface, is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of polyhedral surfaces with controlled geometry. As an application, using the classical…

We solve the classical problem of Plateau in the setting of proper metric spaces. Precisely, we prove that among all disc-type surfaces with prescribed Jordan boundary in a proper metric space there exists an area minimizing disc which…

We study a quasisymmetric version of the classical Koebe uniformization theorem in the context of Ahlfors regular metric surfaces. In particular, we prove that an Ahlfors 2-regular metric surface X homeomorphic to a finitely connected…

We study metric spaces homeomorphic to the 2-sphere, and find conditions under which they are quasisymmetrically homeomorphic to the standard 2-sphere. As an application of our main theorem we show that an Ahlfors 2-regular, linearly…

We prove that any metric surface (that is, metric space homeomorphic to a 2-manifold with boundary) with locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of polyhedral surfaces with controlled geometry. We use this result,…

We study when a metric surface $X$ can be mapped quasisymmetrically onto a circle domain $D\subset\mathbb{C}$ with uniformly relatively separated boundary components. Bonk \cite{Bonk} proved that if $X\subset \hat{\mathbb{C}}$ and the…

We prove that any minimal (maximal) strongly regular surface in the three-dimensional Minkowski space locally admits canonical principal parameters. Using this result, we find a canonical representation of minimal strongly regular time-like…

We establish the following uniformization result for metric spaces $X$ of finite Hausdorff 2-measure. If $X$ is homeomorphic to a smooth 2-manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary, then we show that $X$ admits a quasiconformal almost…

Using the fact that any minimal strongly regular surface carries locally canonical principal parameters, we obtain a canonical representation of these surfaces, which makes more precise the Weierstrass representation in canonical principal…

We prove certain weak or idealized existence results for minimizers of the natural quadratic curvature functionals on the space of metrics on 4-manifolds. Overall, we try to exhibit the relations with the picture in 3-dimensions provided by…

We introduce canonical coordinates on minimal time-like surfaces in the n-dimensional Minkowski space and prove the existence and the uniqueness of these parameters. With respect to these coordinates the coefficients of the first…

The 3+1 (canonical) decomposition of all geometries admitting two-dimensional space-like surfaces is exhibited. A proposal consisting of a specific re-normalization {\bf Assumption} and an accompanying {\bf Requirement} is put forward,…
