We show that for any closed surface of genus greater than one and for any finite weighted graph filling the surface, there exists a hyperbolic metric which realizes the least Dirichlet energy harmonic embedding of the graph among a fixed…

In this paper, motivated by the classical notion of a Strebel qua- dratic differential on a compact Riemann surface without boundary, we in- troduce several classes of quadratic differentials (called non-chaotic, gradient, and positive…

We study the infinitesimal rigidity of equivariant minimal maps from the universal cover of a smooth oriented surface (possibly non-compact) into a Riemannian symmetric space, focusing on representations arising from cyclic harmonic…

The structure equations for a surface are introduced and two required results based on the Codazzi equations are obtained from them. Important theorems pertaining to isometric surfaces are stated and a theorem of Bonnet is obtained. A…

We obtain bounds for the Faltings's delta function for any Riemann surface of genus greater than one. The bounds are in terms of the genus of the surface and two basic quantities coming from hyperbolic geometry: The length of the shortest…

Differential geometry may be generalized to allow infinitesimals to any order. The purpose of the present contribution is to show that the theory so developed expands received geometrical ideas in an interesting way, rich in potential for…

We introduce new families of quandles that serve as invariants for classifying closed orientable surfaces. These families generalize the classical Dehn quandle and are defined, respectively, on isotopy classes of unoriented closed curves…

We prove an "Earthquake Theorem" for hyperbolic metrics with geodesic boundary on a compact surfaces $S$ with boundary: given two hyperbolic metrics with geodesic boundary on a surface with $k$ boundary components, there are $2^k$ right…

Hyperbolic buildings are central objects in both hyperbolic geometry and geometric group theory, exhibiting a wide range of intriguing characteristics, especially with respect to group actions. In this paper, we develop the theory of…

Recent literature on Weil-Petersson random hyperbolic surfaces has met a consistent obstacle: the necessity to condition the model, prohibiting certain rare geometric patterns (which we call tangles), such as short closed geodesics or…

It is known that the classical Frobenius theorem on conditions of integrability for distributions of planes can be extended to the case of complex holomorphic distributions. We show that an alternative criterion for integrability, namely,…

We briefly recall a fundamental exterior differential system introduced by the author and then apply it to the case of three dimensions. Here we find new global tensors and intrinsic invariants of oriented Riemaniann 3-manifolds. The system…

Let M be a hyperbolic 3-manifold with nonempty totally geodesic boundary. We prove that there are upper and lower bounds on the diameter of the skinning map of M that depend only on the volume of the hyperbolic structure with totally…

We apply the local removable singularity theorem for minimal laminations and the local picture theorem on the scale of topology to obtain two descriptive results for certain possibly singular minimal laminations of $\mathbb{R}^3$. These two…

We study imbedded hypersurfaces in spacetime whose causal character is allowed to change from point to point. Inherited geometrical structures on these hypersurfaces are defined by two methods: first, the standard rigged connection induced…

We prove that the integral points are potentially Zariski dense in the complement of a reduced effective singular anticanonical divisor in a smooth del Pezzo surface, with the exception of $\mathbb{P}^2$ minus three concurrent lines (for…

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…

We study distance functions from geodesics to points on Riemannian surfaces with H\"older continuous Gauss curvature, and prove a finiteness principle in the spirit of Whitney extension theory for such functions. Our result can be viewed as…

We show that the index of a constant mean curvature 1 surface in hyperbolic 3-space is completely determined by the compact Riemann surface and secondary Gauss map that represent it in Bryant's Weierstrass representation. We give three…

We prove new theorems which are higher-dimensional generalizations of the classical theorems of Siegel on integral points on affine curves and of Picard on holomorphic maps from $\mathbb{C}$ to affine curves. These include results on…
