With the help of hyper-ideal circle pattern theory, we have developed a discrete version of the classical uniformization theorems for surfaces represented as finite branched covers over the Riemann sphere as well as compact polyhedral…

We introduce a compactification of the space of simple positive divisors on a Riemann surface, as well as a compactification of the universal family of punctured surfaces above this space. These are real manifolds with corners. We then…

Let $S$ be a closed orientable surface of genus at least two. We introduce a bordification of the moduli space $\mathcal{PT}(S)$ of complex projective structures, with a boundary consisting of projective classes of half-translation…

Let $S$ be a closed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$ and let ${\rm Aut}(S)$ be its group of conformal automorphisms. It is well known that if either: (i) ${\rm Aut}(S)$ is trivial or (ii) $S/{\rm Aut}(S)$ is an orbifold of genus zero with…

We provide an intrinsic description of $N$-super \RS s and $TN$-\SR\ surfaces. Semirigid surfaces occur naturally in the description of topological gravity as well as topological supergravity. We show that such surfaces are obtained by an…

This paper first studies the regularity of conformal homeomorphisms on smooth locally embeddable strongly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. Then moduli of curve families are used to estimate the maximal dilatations of quasiconformal…

There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…

In image set classification, a considerable advance has been made by modeling the original image sets by second order statistics or linear subspace, which typically lie on the Riemannian manifold. Specifically, they are Symmetric Positive…

This paper introduces the notion of $k$-isoparametric hypersurface in an $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold for $k=0,1,...,n$. Many fundamental and interesting results (towards the classification of homogeneous hypersurfaces among…

In a joint work with Saji, the second and the third authors gave an intrinsic formulation of wave fronts and proved a realization theorem of wave fronts in space forms. As an application, we show that the following four objects are…

We present explicit expressions for the Maurer-Cartan forms of the superdiffeomorphism group associated to a super Riemann surface. As an application to superconformal field theory, we use these forms to evaluate the effective action for…

The super Weil-Petersson metric defined over the moduli space of smooth super curves produces a natural measure over the moduli space of smooth curves. The construction of the measure uses the extra data of a spin structure on each smooth…

In this paper we relate volumes of moduli spaces of super Riemann surfaces to integrals over the moduli space of stable Riemann surfaces $\overline{\cal M}_{g,n}$. This allows us to prove via algebraic geometry a recursion between the…

This is an introduction to the geometry of compact Riemann surfaces, largely following the books Farkas-Kra, Fay, Mumford Tata lectures. 1) Defining Riemann surfaces with atlases of charts, and as locus of solutions of algebraic equations.…

We study normal CR compact manifolds in dimension 3. For a choice of a CR Reeb vector field, we associate a Sasakian metric on them, and we classify those metrics. As a consequence, the underlying manifolds are topologically finite quotiens…

We study global subalgebras of superconformal algebras in two dimensions and their unitary representations. Global superconformal multiplets are decomposed into conformal multiplets using Racah-Speiser algorithm, revealing many essential…

We study a particular class of representations from the fundamental groups of punctured spheres $\Sigma_{0,n}$ to the group $\text{PSL} (2,\mathbb R)$ (and their moduli spaces), that we call \emph{super-maximal}. Super-maximal…

In a very recent preprint, Witten showed how to construct a $g|r \, \times \, g|r$ super period matrix for super Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $2r$ Ramond punctures, which is symmetric in the ${\bf Z}_2$ graded sense. He also showed…

We settle two problems of reconstructing a biholomorphic type of a manifold. In the first problem we use graphs associated to Riemann surfaces of a particular class. In the second one we use the semigroup structure of analytic endomorphisms…
