We consider stable minimal surfaces of genus 1 in Euclidean space and in Riemannian manifolds. Under the condition of covering stability (all finite covers are stable) we show that a genus 1 finite total curvature minimal surface in…

Thurston and Calegari-Dunfield showed that the fundamental group of some tautly foliated hyperbolic 3-manifold acts on the circle in a distinctive way that the action preserves some structure of S^1, so-called a circle lamination. Indeed, a…

We prove that for any closed surface of genus at least four, and any punctured surface of genus at least two, the space of ending laminations is connected. A theorem of E. Klarreich implies that this space is homeomorphic to the Gromov…

A Beauville surface is a complex algebraic surface that can be presented as a quotient of a product of two curves by a suitable action of a finite group. Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald have been able to intrinsically characterize the groups…

Using the lamination theory developed by Colding and Minicozzi for sequences of embedded, finite genus minimal surfaces with boundaries going to infinity \cite{CM5}, we show that the space of genus-one helicoids is compact (modulo rigid…

We classify simple groups that act by birational transformations on compact complex K\"ahler surfaces. Moreover, we show that every finitely generated simple group that acts non-trivially by birational transformations on a projective…

We prove the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for klt Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension 2. That is, for a large class of rational surfaces as well as K3 surfaces and abelian surfaces, the action of the automorphism group of the surface on the…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

In this paper, we obtain several results on the commensurability of two Kleinian groups and their limit sets. We prove that two finitely generated subgroups $G_1$ and $G_2$ of an infinite co-volume Kleinian group $G \subset…

We prove that a Kleinian group $G$ acting upon $\mathbb{H}^{3}$ admits a non-constant $G$-automorphic function, even if it has torsion elements, provided that the orders of the elliptic (i.e torsion) elements are uniformly bounded. This is…

It was proved by Tien-Cuong Dinh and me that there is a smooth complex projective surface whose automorphism group is discrete and not finitely generated. In this paper, we will show that there is a smooth projective surface, birational to…

We introduce the so-called BT-category of borelian-topological spaces: it will be a natural frame for a measurable classification of usual foliations and laminations. We focus on the two-dimensional case: borelian laminations by surfaces.…

We prove that compact complex manifolds bearing a holomorphic Riemannian metric have infinite fundamental group.

Given an smooth function $K <0$ we prove a result by Berger, Kazhdan and others that in every conformal class there exists a metric which attains this function as its Gaussian curvature for a compact Riemann surface of genus $g>1$. We do so…

A Beauville surface is a rigid complex surface of the form (C1 x C2)/G, where C1 and C2 are non-singular, projective, higher genus curves, and G is a finite group acting freely on the product. Bauer, Catanese, and Grunewald conjectured that…

We establish that, given $\Sigma$ a compact orientable surface, and $G$ a finitely presented one-ended group, the set of copies of $G$ in the mapping class group $\mathcal{MCG}(\Sigma)$ consisting of only pseudo-anosov elements except…

In this article, we prove a version of Martin and Skora's conjecture that convergence groups on the $2$-sphere are covered by Kleinian groups. Given a relatively hyperbolic group pair $(G,\mathcal{P})$ with planar boundary and no Sierpinski…

We discuss dense embeddings of surface groups and fully residually free groups in topological groups. We show that a compact topological group contains a nonabelian dense free group of finite rank if and only if it contains a dense surface…

We show that, under certain natural assumptions, large random plane bipartite maps with a boundary converge after rescaling to a one-parameter family ($\mathrm{BD}_L$, $0 < L < \infty$) of random metric spaces homeomorphic to the closed…

Let $L$ be a compact oriented Lagrangian surface in a K\"ahler surface endowed with a complete Riemannian metric (compatible with the symplectic structure and the complex structure) with bounded sectional curvatures and a positive lower…
