We study symplectic groups and indefinite orthogonal groups over involutive, possibly noncommutative, algebras $(A, \sigma)$. In the case when the algebra $(A, \sigma)$ is Hermitian, or the complexification $(A_{\mathbb{C}},…

In this paper we study the Goldman bracket between geodesic length functions both on a Riemann surface $\Sigma_{g,s,0}$ of genus $g$ with $s=1,2$ holes and on a Riemann sphere $\Sigma_{0,1,n}$ with one hole and $n$ orbifold points of order…

We develop quantization techniques for describing the nonassociative geometry probed by closed strings in flat non-geometric R-flux backgrounds M. Starting from a suitable Courant sigma-model on an open membrane with target space M,…

We prove that if $M$ is a three-manifold with scalar curvature greater than or equal to -2 and $\Sigma\subset M$ is a two-sided compact embedded Riemann surface of genus greater than 1 which is locally area-minimizing, then the area of…

We study the volume of maximal representations from a surface group into $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,3)$. We show that it is bounded from above, uniformly in the genus of the surface. We also prove that on the Gothen components, it is bounded from…

In this paper, we study the dimensionally reduced twisted Kapustin-Witten equations on the product of a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ with $\mathbb{R}^+$. The main result is a Kobayashi-Hitchin type correspondence between the space of…

In a previous paper, we parametrized boundary-unipotent representations of a 3-manifold group into SL(n,C) using Ptolemy coordinates, which were inspired by A-coordinates on higher Teichm\"uller space due to Fock and Goncharov. In this…
