For a domain $\Omega$ in a geodesically convex surface, we introduce a scattering energy $\mathcal{E}(\Omega)$, which measures the asymmetry of $\Omega$ by quantifying its incompatibility with an isometric circle action. We prove several…

Given a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ of genus $g_\Sigma\, \geq\, 2$, and an effective divisor $D\, =\, \sum_i n_i x_i$ on $\Sigma$ with $\text{degree}(D)\, <\, 2(g_\Sigma -1)$, there is a unique cone metric on $\Sigma$ of constant…
Given a stationary continuous-time process $f(t)$, the Hilbert-Schmidt operator $A_{\tau}$ can be defined for every finite $\tau$\cite{Vautard1989SingularSA}. Let $\lambda_{\tau,i}$ be the eigenvalues of $A_{\tau}$ with descending order. In…
We consider planar $\sigma$-harmonic mappings, that is mappings $U$ whose components $u^1$ and $u^2$ solve a divergence structure elliptic equation ${\rm div} (\sigma \nabla u^i)=0$, for $i=1,2$. We investigate whether a locally invertible…
Let $\mathcal{X}_S$ denote the class of spaces homeomorphic to two closed orientable surfaces of genus greater than one identified to each other along an essential simple closed curve in each surface. Let $\mathcal{C}_S$ denote the set of…
In this work, the following conjectures are proven in the case of a Riemann surface with abelian group of symmetry: a) The $b-c$ systems on a Riemann surface $M$ are equivalent to a multivalued field theory on the complex plane if $M$ is…
We introduce the notion of log-Riemann surfaces. These are Riemann surfaces given by cutting and pasting planes together isometrically, and come equipped with a holomorphic local diffeomorphism to C called the projection map, and a…
